Folktale Week 2019I participated in “Folktale Week” over on Instagram for the first time this year and had a blast!1. Home - In the Icelandic “Book of Settlements” (Landnámabók) sites for homes were sometimes selected by Norse settlers by putting their “High Seat Pillars” (Öndvegissúlur) into the sea as soon as Iceland was spotted on the horizon. Wherever these pillar came ashore marked the location where the new home should be built, with these pillars on either side of the seat at the head of the hall. According to the sagas, Reykjavik was founded using this method by Ingólfr Arnarson in 874 AD. -- source link
