File:Hurstwic- Occult Archaeology - magic and runes in continuum

Occult Archaeology is a presentation by Teresa Dröfn Freysdóttir Njarðvík at a meeting of the Hurstwic Heathen study group.

Runes and magic blend, and their use extends well beyond the Viking age in northern Europe. In this presentation, Teresa discusses her current research into runes, magic, and the archaeology of the occult, such as the grave finds of a völva (Viking-age seeress).

Teresa is a doctoral student at the University of Iceland, and joined us remotely from Reykjavík. She is the author of “Runes, the Icelandic Book of Fuþark".
