40.25ish Valur says "He was Feart!" which is Scottish for afraid. I love it! Josie Anne obviously having a great influence!
Slainte Mhath ♥️
Cool!
Reminds me very much of the witchcraft trials in Salem, Massachusetts in the 1600's. 19 hanged, one pressed to death with heavy stones and 5 died in custody. I grew up about 10 Miles from Gallows hill.
Makes ya notice a real relationship with highly religiousness and supposed witchcraft. Massachusetts was founded by quakers seeking religious freedom, right?
I had no idea that so many people died as a result of this.
Thanks for that information.
I visit Salem when I travel to Boston, best time to visit is fall.
What an interesting newscast.
Thinking Polly would really have loved that snow.
Just an FYI, the host mixed up the geographic locations on the Westfjords map: Ísafjörður should have been named when identifying the Northern Westfjords and Patreksfjörður the southern Westfjords. Other than that, I got necropants fever and the only remedy is more disco and more donors 🕺
A very pleasant surprise! Another episode of Supernatural Iceland. A dark part of life in times gone by... Sad and tragic for the people convicted of witchcraft. I watched this episode a second time. Thanks for sharing more of Iceland's history. So well done. Gorgeous snowy landscapes. Many thanks. Dear Art, hope you have an enjoyable break.
Fabulous storytelling , as always, Valur!
I love these videos. Very relaxing.
* It was wonderful to hear thousand year old tales.. We are too young of a nation to have those.. Thanks for wading thru the snow for us..
Thanks so much for your work, everyone at RG.
Folklore is a great passion of mine andI really appreciate the chance to learn more of Iceland's traditions and stories.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves to hear the way you speak English; thank you for your fine and enchanting delivery of these stories.
🇦🇺 ❤️🇮🇸
Thank you, Valur, for connecting us again with Iceland's past history. This type of video is just one of the reasons TRG is one of my favorite CZcams channels. Being able to travel in Iceland, and see this history in the landscape is a real joy.
Fascinating 👌. The pants of death 😅😳. "Popsicles, I mean icicles", 😅, love it🤗. So many humourous lines 👍. Was this done awhile ago, or is that snow now? The colourful houses against the white snow looks so beautiful 😍
Thank You Valur. This was worth the wait. Creepy and spooky, indeed.
I thought that was The sorcerer’ screed you had In Your pocket. Great book to explain about the Runes and what there used for.
Excellent episode to wrap up the supernatural Iceland series. 😉
Valur what an unusual and interesting story on the folklore of Iceland. I think it is amazing how you walk around the small towns and countryside while telling your stories and as in the one episode I watched you talked about the few crimes that had occurred in the area. I say few because her in the US where I live crime is everywhere. Best of luck and good health to you.
Future reference for English: "Castle" is actually pronounced without the "T" - like "casull".
This is a great video, Valur! Very spooky beginning, informative and with touches of humor! You wore yourself out and your efforts are very appreciated!! Now get some rest! ✨💖😁
Absolutely loved this one Valur! I was there in 2018, such a beautiful town & the museum had so much incredible history & lovely food too. Hope to return asap!
You got loads of snow. Winter has arrived. Good for snuggling up in bed with a story from Valur. Although I don't I'm going to sleep afterwards. 🥺
@TheReykjavikGrapevine 2:15, It’s the other way around with patreksfjordur and isafjordur. Isafjordur is more to the north and Patreksfjordur more to the west.
It's interesting just how similar some of the folklore and mythology of Iceland is to Ireland.
Hahaha bit coin pants!
Fascinating stuff! thanks for sharing these stories with us.
Makes you realise the past really wasn't that great! Poor people, how could they even begin to defend themselves?
This series is very interesting. Thank you
Really cool subject matter... Seems ancient mythology all over the earth has these fantastic lors between "good spirits vs evil spirits"... Creative manifestation may be more real than the fantasy we easily dismiss... Always enjoy checking-in on Iceland. Thx! 😉
Interesting video and something a little different. Thank you
Great episode. It appears that the Icelanders were a. bit more restrained that the Salem witch hunters.
The Scenery is great, Josie was right.
It's odd to hear English spoken in the Icelandic sound system. :-) So many strange fricatives. Almost sounds like Old English or Old Norse.
People had a lot of time to think back then!😆
Even today there are still too many countries - in Africa and Asia - which I'd never survive, going by broom there or not. This planet needs more education and less religion.
Yes!
I really enjoy your channel. I really enjoy your stories and sharing the culture.l
was just in Iceland in September for the first time.
My great grandmother was from Iceland and immigrated to Canada in the 1800’s. I have just connected with distant family who’s great grandmother was my great grandmothers sister. Have you done any videos on the Icelandic people who left to find a different life for themselves. Why they left?I found it interesting that people asked why I was so interred in my heritage. I have always been drawn to Icelandand it was always my dream to see the country and learn the culture. Thank you for your channel. 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
oh my god, a ghoulish Ponzi scheme
Harsh stories. Harsh place.
Thanks for recommending The Sorcerer's Creed.
Backrooms lore?
Dead mans trousers ! Wierd !!
That story about the pants is the most messed up thing I have ever heard, and I have read a couple of grimoirs so that is saying something. Steal the gold of a poor window, so that you can wear the skin of the legs of her late husband? Who thinks of this? The devil himself?
You don't have to wear the widows dead husband's skin. You just steal her gold and put it in the scrotum of the skin that you did agree to use. See? It's not soooooo bad. 😉🤣
The necro-pants story, worn after digging up dead body and skinning the skin from legs and genitals, followed by robbing a poor widow of all her gold on the day of the funeral of her dearly departed husband.........you guys are way too isolated up in Iceland!
Even if it's never been acted on, the demented imagination of some deeply disturbed individuals had those thoughts......wtf! Those are your relatives Valur! 🤔😱🤣
😂😂😂
seems like some of these spells are 12th century trolling to make people do dumb shit
GRAPVINE INTERVWE SEE 보고잇습니다브리슨🥰😍🤩
