So amazon recommend I buy this book, probably because I buy a lot of books on norse things and I buy a lot of Grimoire type books. I knew absolutely nothing about trolldom before buying this book, other than the cursory google telling me it’s the Norse/ Scandinavian form of folk magick. As a style of folk magick, it’s similar to other traditions such as hoodoo, Appalachian Granny Magick, and the Ozark Mountains traditions. Trolldom also appears to be the ancestor art to pow-wow, the American folk magick tradition brought here by the Pennsylvania Dutch, my direct ancestors to the point my maternal grandma practiced some of their magick. This book covers bota, or curative and healing spells, spells for love, sex and relationships, spells to get rid of longing, spells to gain friendship, spells for money, prosperity and work as well as gambling, spells for hunting and fishing, spells for dealing with thieves, spells for protection, spells to win in court, spells to find lost objects, and spells to gain strength, power and memory. It also contains a substantial selection of förgöra, or destructive spells, curses for mischief, and reversing/ revenge spells, giving is a significant repository of curses. Through the course of reading and working with this book, I’ve gone from knowing nothing about trolldom to trollkunnig, the Swedish word for confident in the art. If you’re interested, I highly recommend reading the book. It may be of note to some of you that this is very christianized, and I’ve found replacing the invocations to the Christian god with invocations to the Norse pantheon to be particularly effective in my own practice. I have trouble working with the Christian god, but am highly involved with the Norse pantheon as a Vitki. This system of magick is very different from the older norse forms of galdr, Seidr and the runic systems. However, I’ve found it highly effective as a system of folk magick. On another note, if you’re looking for someone to do Folk Magick on your behalf, i am a cunning person, to use the vernacular. Message me if you want to try to work something out. Yesterday when I finished reading this, I took a minute to ask my mom about some of the formulas and workings, which were similar to things my maternal grandmother had talked about. She reminded me that we come from the Pennsylvania Dutch and that weird shit runs in the family.
