Freyja's Brísingamen. Several articles by Skuggi.
A good copy, unbound and uncut. Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval gave this copy to Jón Þorsteinsson as a gift for Christmas 1948. Interesting.
Jochum read and researched all the magic scrolls and ancient knowledge he could get his hands on, and wrote, among other things, the book Galdraskræða, in which he compiled various pieces of knowledge about magic and magic staves. He also said that he had found the magic book Gullskinna or Gullbringa, which is mentioned in folk tales, but it was not actually a magic book, but a prototype of Landnáma and it told the story of the first centuries of the settlement of Iceland as it really was. However, Jochum never wanted to show Gullskinna to anyone.
According to Jochum's theories, the South was fully populated when the settlers arrived and there was an Irish people there who enjoyed the spiritual guidance of the Chrysostomos (Chrysostomos or the Golden-mouthed) and who were part of a secret society that existed throughout Europe and as far south as Crete and Egypt. The headquarters of the Chrysostomos was, according to Skuggi's theories, in Krýsuvík. He claimed that the Chrysostomos and the settlers had initially lived together in peace. The high priest of the Chrysostomos in the eleventh century was Kolskeggur the Wise, and he had his disciples and scribes in two places, in Krýsuvík, where he himself lived, and in Vífilsstaðir under the leadership of Jón Kjarvalarson the Old, and there were a total of 13 in each place including disciples. They were always dressed in white.
These scholars created the cultural heritage of Icelanders, says Skuggi. Kolskeggur the Wise taught Icelanders to write in Latin script; he himself wrote Hávamál and wrote many Icelandic sagas, including Njála, Laxdæla, Hrafnkell saga, Gunnlaug saga ormstunga and Bandamanna saga. But the chieftains thought that the Krýs had become too powerful and in the autumn of 1054 they gathered a large army, burned Jón Kjarvalarson and his men inside Vífilsstaðir and then besieged Krýsuvík, which they finally managed to capture despite a brave defense. Kolskeggur escaped on Brimfaxi, an Arabian horse, but was caught in the lava south of Hafnarfjörður, where his horse broke its leg and Kolskeggur was killed. After this, the Krýs were exterminated.
People soon became afraid of the place where Kolskegg had fallen, and a chapel was built there, and the lava was then called Kapelluhraun. He was said to be a sorcerer and a devil, and over time his name changed to Kölski. The ancient scholarly books of Krýsi were banned and called magdraskræður. Ari the Wise was then commissioned to rewrite the story and erase the Krýsi's part, but after their disappearance there was almost complete stagnation in cultural heritage and writing among Icelanders.
