  • Many people in Iceland believe in little hidden people - huldufólk - or elves. Or so surveys suggest. But do they really? And could we all do with a bit of this magic?

    No matter how much we think stuff like this doesn’t exist...remember this... all legends have their truths to them...

    The elves, gnomes, fairies, goblins etc. are commonly also called the fae. They are all considered "cousins" to each other. And of course they exist. This, and other dimension(s) are their home. They can move in and out of them. Just as it's ridiculous to think we are the only life in the Universe, it is ridiculous to think the animals in the zoo plus some others, are the only other beings that exist here.

    10 years or so ago I had a couple of interesting encounters of the hidden folk whilst I lived in a caravan on the edge of an ancient woodland in Leicestershire U.K. .. Magical moments, and so grateful to have experienced their presence ..

    I associate with the fae folk. And respect them. The first one I SAW, clear as you or me, was a gnome standing on a boulder waving at me. I waved back, he smiled and went into his boulder.

    In Albania we call them " Zana e Malit" and many generations believed in them . There are still some places in the mountains that locals are afraid to enter like caves wich may br populated by Zanas a.k.a Elfs.

    Perhaps Icelandic elves or Hidden People opened the recent Fagradalsfjall volcano to release the enormous pressure that would otherwise have caused more damage. Maybe they made sure that the outbreak takes place in a closed valley that is easy to observe, and in an uninhabited area where no one can be harmed. ;-)

    They care for and love where they live, simple. It is not much, but it is home. Americans, myself included, have taken advantage of what we had and where we came from. The united states used to be a magical far away land, that everyone wanted to see with their own eyes. A dream long past. There is a price for every action and we are paying what is due.

    In Irlande, we say people like elves live in the Sidh, that means the Other World. I don't know who would like to get rid of such a story... If it is only a story !
