Column: Thor’s Hammer in Iceland – an Interview with Ragnheiður Gló Gylfadóttir

By Karl E. H. Seigfried | October 27, 2018

Pagan Perspectives

A farmstead from the Viking Age was found earlier this month by a local resident in Þjórsárdalur, a valley in the southern highlands of Iceland. Bergur Þór Björnsson is the great-grandson of the man who discovered the region’s most recently found Viking-era farm back in 1920. With his new find, the total number of known farms stands at twenty-one. Archaeologists from Fornleifastofnun Ísland (“the Institute of Archaeology in Iceland”) were called to the scene and soon found several small objects. Among them was a Thor’s hammer amulet, only the second ever found in Iceland.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Golden Black Cat Tarot,by Helena de Almeida, published by AGM-Urania/Konigsfurt-Urania Verlog GmbH

Card: Ten (10) of Pentacles

This week, there is likely to be an emphasis on financial security, family, traditions, and the culture they are derived from. Awareness of the importance of honesty and respect within relationships and familial structures is also likely to be a focal point. It may also signal that a project or body of work has reached a successful completion.

Conversely, the potential for reconsidering what is valued, as well as the actual emotional, mental, and spiritual price(s) of continually pursuing financial gains and wealth. There also exists the possibility of financial loss, and insecurity as it applies to family, finances, and relationships.
