TROLLRU��N

<p>In <em>TROLLRU��N: A Discourse on Trolldom</em> <em>and Runes in the Northern Tradition</em> Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold opens the door to landscapes little known outside of Scandinavia. These landscapes are populated by mythical beings and land spirits which offer a quite different approach to the Northern Tradition than what is usual. Here the Aesir have taken a backseat in favour of discussions on the wider tapestry of Northern wisdom such as <em>trolldom</em> <em>seidr</em> and the legacy left by the Black Books of magic under the larger theme of 'What the Trolls Told' comprising the first part of TROLLR��N. This is followed by a presentation of the Elder runes runology and rune magic all rooted in Scandinavian ideas of the use of runes and their magic. TROLLR��N views this landscape through the eyes of the cunning arts where the ice the frost the midnight sun and the majestic mountains and fjords become the orchestra of TROLLR��N's wisdom drenched in the powerful atmosphere of the magical north. </p>
