commentary
context
This episode occurs in Vatnsdœla saga, thought to have been written in the late-13th or early-14th century. The saga focuses on several generations of family in the Vatnsdalr district. This episode occurs shortly after a Sami woman predicts that Ingimundr will find his silver Freyr-amulet in Iceland, in the location that he is to settle. Ingimundr employs the help of two practitioners of Sami-magic to find his missing amulet.
