Elves have been a part of Icelandic folklore for centuries and are still widely believed in today. Many Icelanders believe that disturbing an elf's habitat or causing them harm can result in misfortune, bad luck, or even death. While belief in elves may seem unusual to outsiders, it is a deeply ingrained part of Icelandic culture and heritage. It is a fascinating and unique aspect of Icelandic folklore that continues to capture the imagination of people around the world.

Huldufólk or hidden people are elves in Icelandic folklore. They are supernatural beings that live in nature. They look and behave similarly to humans, but live in a parallel world. They can make themselves visible at will.

Witchcraft has a long and fascinating history in Iceland, dating back to the time of the settlement of the island in the 9th and 10th centuries. The practice of witchcraft was closely tied to the old Norse religion, which was dominant in Iceland until the adoption of Christianity in the 11th century.

In more recent times, there has been a renewed interest in Icelandic witchcraft, particularly in the form of "seiðr," a form of shamanic magic practiced by the Vikings. Today, there are various groups and individuals in Iceland who practice modern forms of witchcraft, often drawing on both ancient Icelandic traditions and more contemporary spiritual practices.
