After a successful reprinting in Icelandic in 2013, the Icelandic publisher has made the book for the first time. So it makes sense that Eggertsson would spend 30 years researching Nordic spells, drawing from 80 old manuscripts to create his book of white magic, Sorcerer’s Screed, which he released in 1940.
He claimed to have 27 pages from a lost book, written on hide called Gullskinna (“Goldskin”), which, according to legend, would not burn. During his lifetime, the Icelandic writer and poet-who was born in 1896 and called himself Skuggi (or “Shadow”)-often criticized authorities and the cultural and educational elite and challenged conventional knowledge about Icelandic history and culture. Jochum Magnus Eggertsson was a strange character.
