Bridges between Worlds
Dempsey, Corinne G. (Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Nazareth College)
This book explores the tradition of Icelandic spirit work, known as andleg mal, as practiced in the northern town of Akureyri. Based on firsthand accounts of these spirit encounters, Corinne Dempsey describes how andleg mal's beliefs and practices span not only earth and spirit but Icelandic histories and cross-Atlantic cultures.
