The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/iceland)
Columnist Karl E. H. Seigfried writes on the tendency within the Heathen community to dismiss the actions of Heathen extremists as “not true Heathenry” instead of confronting the racist traditions that have been present in the religion since its modern-day foundation.
Columnist Luke Babb goes looking for the Hidden Folk in Iceland and has an encounter at the Icelandic Museum of Prophecies.
