Weird Wednesday ~ Elf School

The Icelandic Elf School, otherwise known as Álfaskólinn in Iceland, teaches about the 'not so often seen' people of Iceland - 3 kinds of hidden people, 13 types of Elves, 4 varieties of gnomes, 2 forms of trolls, and 3 types of faeries.

The School, located in Reykjavik, has a full curriculum, publishes texts on hidden people (hidden people look just like humans but prefer to remain invisible), conducts ongoing research about elves and hidden people and collects stories about trolls, faeries, dwarves, and gnomes for future generations. 

The School is open to both visitors and residents alike. The Certificate Program consists of a 5 hour course and has 5-10 people each time. While only 54% of Icelanders believe in elves or hidden people, a whopping 90% of the population does take notice of this 'hidden' community.

Movies & Books ~ Oh My!!!

I am an avid reader! I will have one, sometimes even two books, going at the same time.  But new books are expensive and the local library is quite small. So I have found a great source for acquiring 'new' books without the horrid expense. I use Swap.com to swap out the books I no longer want. I have been able to complete several collections this way and have found several new authors as well. A person can also swap cd's, dvd's, and video games. Look me up if you decide to use (or perhaps already use) the site!

Recently I saw the Norwegian movie, Trollhunter. A fun movie, even though it was subtitled. A group of students investigate a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.
