Do you want to increase your wealth, secure the love of your dream man or woman, seek protection from evil forces or angry neighbors, expose a liar, or resurrect the dead? If so, The Wizard's Guide is just the book for you.
These spells have accompanied Scandinavian history and culture for centuries, and Icelanders have used magical spells from the first settlement for both everyday purposes and more unconventional purposes.
The Wizard's Guide is the world's most comprehensive collection of Norse spells. Each spell comes with a diagram and specific instructions for their use and purpose.
The book was first published in 1940 in the annual but limited magazine Jólagjöfin (Christmas Tale). The author himself, Skuggi (Jochum Magnús Eggertsson, 1896-1966), had handwritten the text and drawn the diagrams.
This is a revised edition of the original publication, where all symbols and runes have been graphically redrawn, a project led by designer Arnar Fells Gunnarsson, who also designed the book and its beautiful and accessible layout.
