My name is Sigrun Guttormsdóttir Þormar. I live inBorgarfjord west Iceland, where I work as a project leader at the cultural medieval center Snorrastofa in Reykholt. For those that don't know, Reykholt was the home of Snorri Sturluson, medieval writer and poet whom lived in Reykholt from 1206 to 1241. He was the author of the Edda, Heimskringla (History of the kings of Norway) and Egils Saga Skallagrimsson. For me Snorri is the most amazing employer whom I proudly serve and constantly present in my every day life! He is absolutely still going strong at 835 years of age. Please come and visit us at www.snorrastofa.is. We are open all weekdays during the winter and all days during summer. We have an exhibition about Snorri Sturluson and offer lectures for groups. Hope to see you soon :)

Cross in Reykholt

    The Cross in front of the church in Reykholt The design of the cross is inspired by the Gunnhild crucifix from 1150. The cross at Reykholt is made of steel and cedarwood, designed by the Norwegian artist Jarle Rosseland. Rosseland uses the emblems of the four Evangelists from the Book of Kells, refering to the roots of Christianity in Iceland. Icelanders trace their ancestry to Irish immigrants as well as Norse settlers. The Cedarwood is grown at Tendring in Essex, Maud ́s Court. During the lifetime of Snorri Sturluson a crusader lived there. He brought home from Lebanon a cedar

The Ring from Reykholt

    Gold ring The ring found in the chancel of the medieval church at Reykholt is 18 carat. It is beaten into shape, widest and convex on the top with upturned edges and acanthus leaf decoration in the Romanesque style. Internal diameter is 19 mm, date c. 1500. It is possible that the ring was made in Iceland. The original is kept in the National Museum of Iceland.   Not many rings have been found from this time in Iceland, most famous is the ring from " Rangárvellir".    The archaeologist Guðrún Sveinbjarnardóttir found this ring in Reykholt during the archaeological excavation on Snor

Tod im Tunnel

Tod im Tunnel! Snorri Sturluson, Islands Grosser Dichter, war ein überaus gelehrter Historiker. Nur politisch blieb ihm das Glück versagt!  (Von der Spiegel Geschichte 6/2010) Nun ist der 1179 im westisländischen Hvamm geborene Junge nicht irgendjemand. Unter seinen Vorfahren finden sich Könige und eine Reihe berühmter Skaldendichter. Die sanfte Geiselhaft erweist sich für den vielversprechenden Knaben als Glüchsfall: Sein Ziehvater  ist ein für seine Bildung und Gutmütigkeit in ganz Island berühmter Gelehrter. Mit 20 Jahren verlässt Snorri Oddi, sein Lehrer ist tot ( Der Pflege Jon Loft

Þorrablót: Celebrating Iceland's Midwinter Feast

Þorrablót is a traditional Icelandic midwinter festival deeply rooted in the country’s Viking heritage. Celebrated during the month of Þorri (typically January to mid-February), this lively gathering brings Icelanders together in festivities to honor their ancestors, share traditional delicacies, and enjoy music, poetry, and storytelling. While its origins date back to pagan times, Þorrablót has been revived as a way to connect with Iceland's rich cultural history. The Origins of Þorrablót The festival is named after Þorri, a personification of winter in Norse mythology, often associate

Did Gandalf and the Hobbits come from Iceland ?

  I want to share this information with you, with the kind permission from the author of "Song of the Vikings" Nancy Marie Brown.  "Bifur, Bafur, Bombor, Nori, Ori, Oin, and … Gandalf! These were all names from The Hobbit. What were J.R.R. Tolkien’s wizard and his dwarves doing in medieval Iceland?"…   and Nancy continues…. "The wizard Gandalf, for example, is an “Odinic wanderer” (in Tolkien’s words)—like the old man with a broad-brimmed hat and a staff who wanders the nine worlds in Snorri’s tales and sits by King Olaf’s bedside keeping him up late with his wondrous stories.
