In the Mounds & Of the Stars: The Elves in Scandinavian Lore, Practice & Myth with Rose Aurora

When the average person hears the word “elves”, they often think of tiny helpers in Santa’s workshop or those that live in trees, making cookies. A more accurate portrait is that of a beautiful, luminous, god-like being with immense supernatural power. Spoken of alongside the Gods in the ancient myths, the Álfar(elves) have associations with burial mounds, the stars, fertility, and witchcraft. This presentation will explore who, and what, exactly the Elves are; where their skills and interests lie; how the myths give us clues as to what is expected of humans when it comes to their interactions with the Álfar; and how they are viewed, approached, & avoided in various parts of Scandinavia & Iceland - including via the lens of the Norse folk magic & sorcery of Trolldom.
