Bridges between Worlds: Spirits and Spirit Work in Northern Iceland
Dempsey, Corinne G. (Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Rose Marie Beston Chair for International Studies, Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Rose Marie Beston Chair for International Studies, Nazareth College)
This book explores the tradition of Icelandic spirit work, known as andleg mal, as practiced in the northern town of Akureyri. Based on firsthand accounts of these spirit encounters, Corinne Dempsey describes how andleg mal's beliefs and practices span not only earth and spirit but Icelandic histories and cross-Atlantic cultures.
