Hexekver: An Icelandic Farmer's Little Book of Folk Magic

Þorsteinn Guðmunsson's Hexekver: An Icelandic Farmer's Little Book of Folk Magic From 1859 Rendered and discussed by Kári Pálsson and Giorgia Sottotetti "I have gradually gathered material for this book of sorcery as well as several runic alphabets, which could serve those who cannot read nor learn runes..." This unique, beautiful, and appropriately small edition of a previously unknown little book of magic from a 19th century Icelandic farm is here rendered into English for the very first time by Kári Pálsson and Giorgia Sottotetti and published (also for the first time) by Hyldyr.

Þorsteinn Guðmunsson's Hexekver features photographs of the manuscript and commentary from scholars, including discussion from runologist Alessia Bauer.

A completely unique edition for a historically fascinating item. North American first edition limited to 999 hand-numbered copies.
