time for which your soul has longed. NOW is the moment for which
each experience, each relationship within every lifetime has
prepared you. Without doubt, without hesitation the events occurring
now within history are the very reason that you have journeyed so
far from home to this world. Rare by any standard. Your life is the
labor that is enabling the birth of a new expression of life, rooted
in the wisdom of compassion." http://www.lavendise.com/

In the Land of the Fairy King: Iceland’s Elf
School Magnus Skarphedinsson’s cheeks are round and rosy. His
enthusiasm and childlike wonder make him bound around the room and
forget the clock when he’s teaching his class. Add a cone-shaped hat
and turned-up toes on his shoes and he might appear, for all the
world (except Iceland), like an elf or gnome, albeit a relatively
tall one. What he doesn’t look like is one of the more controversial
men in Iceland. But he is. Magnus is both the brother of the leader
of one of Iceland’s most influential political parties and the head
of The Icelandic Elf School. With a curriculum, classrooms,
textbooks, diplomas, and ongoing research, Álfaskólinn (Elf School)
teaches about the five different types of elves, hidden people, and
other invisible beings that inhabit this island nation. www.gonomad.com/features/0101/waigand_iceland.html
