Elves - Iceland
Loading...

Iceland may have one of the smallest populations in Europe but it's also home to thousands of 'hidden people' -- elves and fairies
Between the rocks, fjords and valleys hides Iceland's 'hidden people'. In Iceland, fairies, elves and trolls triumph over scepticism. Fearful of reprisals -- or just a bit of elfish mischief, ministers were recently forced to back down on a road building project over elf territory. Foolish is he who fears not the wrath of a displaced elf.

@iggybrowsandunicorns Untrue- it was to confuse invaders, they reversed the names so people couldn't find the settlements as easily

we got the same thing in the faroe island, the workers that build roads on/close by the rock's where the hidden people lived (also called huldu fólk in faroese) got dreams/curses from them and so on,
one stone they tried to blow up was a total failure, they stuffed it with explosives and it only blew 1/5 parts of the stone

I don't see why people are so surprised by the fact that many icelanders believe in elves. Most people in the world believe in forces they can't see, they call it god, allah, angels and many more things.
I haven't seen one but I have never had a reason to doubt they exist.
I didn't really like this reporters story, it was quite silly and laughable.
I can try to see why he'd be sceptic and sarcastic but unseen forces seem so natural to me.
