alexanderhay, 7 months ago to Halloween What better way to start my #2023 #Halloween links thread than with this article, covering modern uses of #Níðstöng, or '#ScornPoles' in #Iceland. (To make, just add a #Horse's severed head, a pole and some #Runes. Not to be confused with the #Vindgapi, which uses a #Ling #Fish head instead, and which is used to summon storms.) #Galdur #Folklore #Magic #Occultism https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/iceland-nithing-pole
