Dear friends

We are delighted with the interest shown in our publication of the Sorcerer’s Screed. We are currently working on more books akin to the screed and the cultural heritage it derives from. We’ve therefore launched the imprint The Icelandic Magic Company to expand our brand and to create a venue for our future publications. 

Winters in Iceland are made from dark matter. It surrounds us islanders when we head out for work in the morning and welcomes us in the afternoon. In other words, the very limited amount of daylight the geographical position of this island in the North is able to squeeze out of the sun come wintertime is cast astray due to hectic work hours Icelanders are accustomed to endure.

Whilst the Sorcerer's Screed has proven to be a reliable source for those looking for their first or next tattoo of a traditional Nordic magic stave, the Icelandic Magic for Modern Living offers a much needed humorous take on this quirky nook of our nation's heritage we Icelanders boast about on every occasion.

Icelandic magic staves look extremely beautiful on human skin and have therefore become quite popular as tattoos. Two of the editors at Lesstofan Publishing House recently had their favorite staves done (see photos). 

Modern times can be awfully busy and cluttered. Now and then it's important to find a quiet place where your thoughts can be gathered and you can rest and reset your body and soul. Islands, for an example, are good places for such relaxation.
