Tíminn fyrir er kominn aftur: Íslenskur dularfulla hryllingur frá Gunnhildi Guðbjörnsdóttur og Dan Watt (blogg 2)

Blogg 2 Drangurinn er staður, þar sem talið er að íslenskir bændur hafi farið með kálffullar kýr til burðar undir vökulu augnaráði huldufólks. Íslenska kýrin getur verið í sex mismunandi litum og er talin hafa komið til landsins fyrir um þúsund árum. Brynhildur klappaði kviðinn á Dagbjörtu, meðan hún leiddi hana niður rampinn á Artic Trucks rafmagnsbílnum. Hún hélt lauslega í tauminn á kúnni og elti föður sinn að Drangnum. Í fölnandi birtunni glitti aðeins í rauðbröndótta lit kápunnar hennar. „Flýttu þér Brynhildur“ sagði pabbi hennar í svalri júlínóttunni. „Við þurfum að koma henni að Drangum áður en rökkrið skellur á“ Pabbi hennar var ekki jafn hávaxinn og margir íslenskir karlmenn, svo dóttir hans efaðist um að hann væri skyldur Skessunni á Arnavatnsheiði, en kannski rann blóð hins fíngerðara huldufólks í æðum hans, sem gæti einmitt útksýrt það nafn sem foreldrar hans höfðu gefið honum: Búi. Brynhildur var nú þegar hærri en hann og þreknari, eins og mamma hennar. „Hvers vegna komum við alltaf með Dagbjörtu og aðrar kálffullar kýr hingað? Og skiljum þær eftir? Er það ekki hættulegt?“ spurði hún fyrir framan risavaxinn hamarinn sem gnæfði yfir þeim. Til hliðanna rétt sá hún glitta í Hrútafell og hluta Eyjafjalla. Hann strauk löngum grönnum fingrum sínum í gegnum ljóst, úfið hárið og sagði „Ég er ekki viss um að þú sért tilbúin að vita það“ Þótt augu hennar væru ísblá eins og móður hennar, hafði hún erft ljóst hár föður síns. Það var sítt og hún lét það falla í óstýrlátum lokkum á meðan hún hjálpaði föður sínum á bænum. En hún hafði ekki erft fíngerða líkamsbyggingu hans, né langa útlimi og fingur. Hún var há og sterklega vaxin. Líkari norskum forfeðum sínum, en breskum. En henni fannst líka að Íslendingar skæru sig úr frá öðrum Evrópubúum. Henni hafði alltaf fundist blóð Íslendinga bundið landinu sjálfu. Þau nálguðust innganginn að hellinum. „Ég er nógu gömul“ sagði hún og lyfti hökunni. Faðir hennar stundi og opnaði tvöfalda timburhliðið fyrir innganginum að hellinum. „Huldufólkið mun vaka yfir Dagbjörtu og auðvelda henni burðinn.“ „Huldufólk! Álfar?!“ nánast hrópaði Brynhildur spyrjandi. „Kallaðu þau sínu rétta nafni Brynhildur!“ sagði faðir hennar áminnandi. Brynhildur var í þann veginn að hlæja vantrúa, þegar hún skyndilega heyrði hávaða koma innan úr hellinum

Thank you for your response. ✨

Kitchener Comic Con is this weekend at Kitchener City Hall (200 King Street 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.). After that I’ll be blogging The Gothic Horror Musical “Hierarchy of the Undead”

Hierarchy of the Undead

Photo of the road to Castle Ward taken by Leah Weir, January 2018.

Castle Ward is located in the village of Strangford of County Down in Northern Ireland.  The Hierarchy of the Undead is in no way associated with the castle, we just wanted locations and buildings with a Gothic feel to them.  The Ward family took over what was originally Carrick na Sheannagh, owned by the Earls of Kildare in 1570.

“On Hitler’s Mountain” by Irmgard A. Hunt (a plug for a book well worth reading)

Occasionally I’ll review a book on here, or promote a friend who is an author or artist.

A friend lent me an amazing book called: “On Hitler’s Mountain” by Irmgard A. Hunt. Irmgard lived in the mountains of Berchtesgaden where Hitler had his retreat. She relates how Hitler came into power, what happened to those who opposed him, the indoctrination of German and Austrian youth into Nazi beliefs, the effects of war, and what happened up until the Marshall Plan. Her mother makes an interesting comment later in the book about American or any other democracy: “If there were a bad economic downturn or perhaps a war with the Soviets, Americans too might accept a leader who promised to save them and the fatherland. We did not know how fast Hitler would change everything once he was chancellor. But he did.” The book reminded me how events affect different people in different ways and that, whether we want to hear it or not, it is vital not to alter substantiated historical information so those events never happen again.
