Iceland is a mystical country. Arguably the last Nordic country to largely still cling on to their Nordic mythological roots. 54% of the country believes Elves exist.
Are you Scandinavian ? These myths is very much alive here on the Scanian/Skånska country side. Also in my grandmothers viliage in Blekinge, they even carved runes on sticks when people where sick. Some kind of health-rituale. This died of somtime in the 20ies.
