Mimisbrunnr.info is currently seeing a lot of updates and the site might look a bit odd here and there while we transfer elements of the site to a new editor. Additionally, Mimisbrunnr.info is now under the umbrella of Hyldyr, an independent and folklore-focused publishing house that combines the efforts of artists and academics.
