Fairies and hidden people in Akureyri

Fairies and hidden people in Akureyri

Fyrirlestur Bryndísar Fjólu Pétursdóttur og Katrínar Jónsdóttur

Our country is rich in sources about hidden and fairy settlements that appear widely in Icelandic literature, art and oral narratives. We need to keep the discussion alive about our conversation with hidden people and elves and to collect stories about people's experiences and record them for future generations.

The lecture is based on the sources of Huldustíg in Akureyri's Lystigarð and on sources that Erla Stefánsdóttir, a seer, left behind about the hidden worlds of Akureyra. Bryndís Fjóla and Katrín emphasize that we connect with nature, perceive hidden worlds and respect our national and cultural heritage.

Bryndís Fjóla is a horticulturist and project manager at Huldustíg ehf. She works as a seer and works on education to maintain knowledge of the hidden and fairy worlds of the country, including the habitats of the hidden people in the Lystigarður in Akureyri.

Katrín is a regional and response scientist and the publisher of Akureyri's Huliðsheimakort, which was published in 2009. The map is a remarkable source that Erla Stefánsdóttir worked on, but it includes, among other things, you can see selected places where Erla saw beings from other dimensions.

The lecture is part of the Akureyri Academy's series of events this year for residents of the nursing homes and other residents of the town. KEA's Culture and Recognition Fund supports the event.
