''WHITHER O BEAUTIFUL ICELANDER FAIRIES?''

You want to believe this. But you had better do and read on this beautiful Post.

In Iceland, people take their Elves seriously -and not in an ironic, postmodern way.According to one recent survey, 54-4% of Icelanders believe that Elves exist. And it's just not Elves. They refuse to rule out trolls and dwarves, too. In a country that grew up on sagas and stories around the campfire, a majority of Icelanders are prepared to acknowledge that some things are beyond the ken of Science. Like God, for instance. So why not elves?

Back in 1971, the Icelandic government first planned a highway Number 1, the main road out of Reykjavik. In the planning process a 'Boulder' was discovered in the way. So they ordered the diggers to move it. But, one by one, alarmingly all the diggers broke down and nobody knew why. Until the government asked the locals.
The boulder, they said, wasn't a boulder at all. It was an Elf House.And the government would need to negotiate its removal. With the Elves.

Wise Heads got together. By speaking through a psychic, the Elves on Highway Number 1, brokered one heck of a deal.The road works got halted for a week, giving the Elves time to make new arrangements, before the boulder was lifted -very delicately,  -onto a grassy knoll. They would then be free to move back in and live, undisturbed on the slip road. ''It would have been hundred times cheaper to just blow the boulder up,'' says Historian Magnus Skarphedinsson. ''But nobody would dare do that. Not in Iceland.''

I like to think of myself as open minded. I've seen my mother take two hazel twigs and divine for water right in front of my eyes. I.ve witnessed the healing power of reiki. And I have been to Ashram in New York where they worship the bathwater and the toe nail clippings of a living Saint. Without Laughing. No-one could say that I am ''closed''; But ''Elves''? That had even me stumped. And Magnus Skarphedinsson wants everyone to have an opportunity to communicate with Elves!

In actual Skarphedinsson is a true Viking.His physical appearance makes you think that he doesn't believe in Elves. But he does. In fact  -now just hear this-  he's Headmaster of Reykjavik's Elf-School, where he offers up a full Elf-Based Curriculum. And a passing out Diploma. Remarkable! Hahaha!

This post continues but the feint hearted take Heed! What follows will thrill and scare the living daylights out of you! See ya all morrow!

Good Night & God Bless!
