▴ Húsavíkurkirkja

Húsavík, known as the whale capital of Iceland, is a popular departure point for whale-watching tours. While the weather didn’t allow us to head out to sea that day, the snowfall added a quiet charm to the town’s iconic wooden church, which was built in 1907.

or just The Three Country Cairn, the spot where Finland, Sweden and Norway shake hands.

Well, the first picture is 'a' country cairn, the second picture is THE three country cairn. But I liked the sky in the first picture better, so... :)

These cairns are located in Malla Strict Nature Reserve, most easily accessible from Kilpisjärvi in Finland. As the title of the park suggest, it's a very special area with rare species of plants and therefore protected. Every Mans Right, the right to roam is not applicable here. However, according to regulations on the basis of cultural protection, the indigenous Sami people should have access to the land for the practice of reindeerhusbandry. Two worlds collide.

My Malla-story: I don't want to brag (I do, actually :P) but I think I saw a wolf here once. On my way back down, where the treeline starts, I sat down on the path, to drink my last bit of water. I heard some footsteps down below off the trail, which was weird, because you are not supposed to stray from the path. And the steps sounded too coordinated for reindeer. I waited it out quietly and then a big dog appeared. My heart jumped, but luckily the dog didnt hear that. To this day, I don't know if it really was a wolf, but if it looks like one, walks like one and quacks like a one.. maybe?..

Galdr Workshop

Come and experience wondrous magic in the wild nature of Western Jutland!

Where do find yourself presently in life? What do you wish to summon and transform? To focus on and empower? What needs to grow and take shape so you’re ready for the next step on life’s winding path?

Learn about galdr—write a text, create a symbol with the power of words, give it a voice, find your resonance, speak your truth, be heard, and bring your symbol into the material world. Create cosmic change.

Come and awaken the power within. Let’s galdr together and send our intentions out to the four corners of the world. There is great power in being witnessed—in dedicating yourself to a creative process, seeing your dreams come to life, and allowing others to see and hear what you wish for and act upon.

The Nordic (primarily Icelandic) tradition of magical galdr is a deeply creative process that can provide a framework for transformation and change.
