Damn Foreigners…
Iceland is having a Cultural Revolution. Never mind that they KEEP having them. After all, the average Icelander is a mixture of Norwegian, Danish, and abducted Irish women. But that is all in the past and they all know how to speak Icelandic by now—according to some, the world’s 3rd most difficult language.
Recently, there has been an influx of other damn foreigners to this remote and incredible volcanic island. (BESIDES me.) They are building a damn, er… dam in the preserves and it’s causing all kinds of trouble, political and otherwise. It has attracted workers from all over the EU (European Union) and taken jobs away from Icelanders who had no intention of doing them anyway as they are… horrible. The jobs, that is.
But that is not the worst part. The damn dam is disturbing the REALLY native Icelanders. The elves. And these are not just any old elves either. Just get those little pert Keebler cookie gobbling smartass elves out of your mind this second because Icelandic elves are large, blue and fierce. They have what can only be described as Super Powers and the Icelanders respect them so very much they will not build houses, roads, or anything else at an Enchanted Site because those elves are Badasses.
Hence the crux of the problem—the damn dam is being constructed by a sub-contractor, an American company, who would take one look at a blue elf and tell him to go put on his jacket and get back to work. This is REALLY not a good idea. There are folk stories about people who are rude to elves disappearing into the middle of the Icelandic desert lured by Elfin Ways so their families starve or their wells run dry if an elf asks for a drink and they turn them away… or worse. Elves are notoriously horny. And tall.
If one looks at the Icelandic people, one cannot help but notice the women are heightful and beautiful and the men are smaller and well…just check the box for “other”. I could not help but be over-mirthed when I ran across a link from someone who believes herself to be an expert on “Elf Sex” and even advertises in a travel brochure distributed in Icelandic Tour Shops that she is available to discuss the topic for a fee. Here is a link to her blog:Â http://elftruths.blogspot.com/
I can only wonder if this girl has been watching Lord of the Rings just a LITTLE TOO OFTEN…
Why would I think that?
Because I’ve met an elf of course. And he didn’t even make a pass at me.

How do people know a site is enchanted? Is it marked?
Huge, blue fierce elves seem appropriate to Iceland. I wonder if NYC had mystical beings what they would be like.

“Sex with Humans is Boring” was pretty interesting. The latest blog was about seeing elves while on pot. I thought they were supposed to see the “green man.” But maybe their pot was mixed with oregano. Who knows what you’d see then.

Yes all the Enchanted Sites are marked. But what is interesting is that I can usually spot them kilometres away. They just… LOOK enchanted. It’s hard to describe. There are “Enchanted Sites” experts too. You can even ring them up (they are listed in the phone book. Next to each person’s name in the phone book is what they do for a living or their hobby!) and they will be more than happy to discuss it.
I love this place!
As far as NY Mystical Beings, I can only imagine they would live near the 3rd rail and would be Rainbow Like in Appearance. Yes, I meant every connotation of that remark.
I really do think you need to come and visit here. This place is one giant Lay Line. Er…

My partner swears that the first night we stayed in Budir she stayed up all night talking to an elf. She claims that the elf told her to sell the apartment in New York and move to Snaeffellness penninsula. She didn’t mention anything about the elf being blue.

I didn’t realize elves were tall. As long as they’re not after me sexually, I don’t think I’d mind moving to Iceland myself, based on your description.

I have done a bit more research into this (research being talking to my Icelandic roommate and best friend) and she says that it is NEVER a good idea to ignore an elf’s advice as they have good reasons for what they say. Snaeffellness is considered by most Icelanders to be probably one of THE most magical places in Iceland, therefore that advice makes sense. My roommate also told me that the elves wear blue clothing which has been bastardized by language translators and other bastards, into them “being” blue. This makes them sound depressed but I am assurred they are not.
I cannot help but make a supposition here between the tall GREEN clad fairy folk of Ireland/Scotland across the sea and the tall BLUE clad elves. It would make an interesting topic of study. I am going to have to hang out in a popular Enchanted Place and see if I can get an endorsement.
