See inside the world's largest WITCHCRAFT museum
- A museum in Iceland is attracting global attention for displaying the most ghoulish artefacts ever known to mankind
-
The once infamous and controversial museum is now a site to behold,
with thousands of tourists visiting to see for themselves things like
trousers made of human skin
Of all the
museums you have ever visited, there is high chance that you have never
heard about Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft. This is not
your ordinary tourist resort where you go to see old artefacts and
crystal skulls of weird animals.
Museum
of Icelandic Sorcery, located in Iceland’s northern peninsula, gives
you a rare glimpse into some of the country’s darkest chapters in
history. Here you will come face-to-face with the grisly Black Arts.
The
Museum is full of creepy paraphernalia, ranging from skeletons earing
greying cloaks, old books scrawled with occult symbols to tilberi-milk
sucking creatures of Icelandic folklore. It’s a site to behold, and we
are not yet talking about trousers made of human skin. Yes, human skin!
It is alleged that the peculiar trousers
were made from the skin of a diseased friend. Most importantly, the
trousers are capable of giving you endless supply of cash, but on one
condition, you must wear them and put in the pocket a coin stolen from
the diseased man’s wife.
Those
in the know say the ghastly artefacts came about as a result of
people's demand for better livelihoods. It is said that some years ago,
life in Iceland was so hard that the locals were forced to turn to magic
to meet their daily needs.
Whether you wanted to acquire wealth, take
care of your enemy, or even force God to bring rain, they believed in
the power of sorcerers. But all that is now history. What is left is
overwhelming proof that Icelanders practice sorcery.
When
Museum of Icelandic Sorcery first opened its door in 2000, it attracted
strong resistance from a section of the society. But over the years,
they have come to appreciate it as a source of revenue, as tourists
continue to visit the area to see for themselves how a trouser made of
human skin looks like.
