About Us

We are a family-run store that has been operating since March 2025. Our goal is to be a provider and a good source of information about Icelandic culture and history. Most of the products in our store are made in Iceland by local artists who live in the country. Our products cover a range of themes, from the first settlement of Iceland during the Viking Age to modern-day Iceland.

Although our Reykjavik store is popular with visitors from abroad, it is also intended to be a valuable resource for local Icelanders who want to find gifts related to Icelandic heritage or learn more about their homeland

The store’s name, ‘Hrafnagaldur Óðins’, comes from later Icelandic manuscripts containing several stanzas about the Norse gods, which are narrated in a manner similar to the poems in the Poetic Edda.

Our Raven Workshop is located within our store, where we manufacture our own rune stones and runic jewellery, as well as many other interesting items. If you would like a necklace or armband with your name engraved in runes from different eras, you can order one through us.

Out of love for Iceland and in an attempt to avoid becoming just another store copying others in the current tourist boom, we want to do things differently. We hope that our store inspires everyone to love Iceland as much as we do.
