- Icelandic_Elf_School abstract "The Icelandic Elf School, known as Álfaskólinn in Icelandic, is a school in Iceland that teaches students and visitors about Icelandic folklore.The school teaches about the hidden people and the 13 different kinds of elves that the school believes inhabit the country of Iceland. According to the school's headmaster, hidden people "are just the same size and look exactly like human beings, the only difference is that they are invisible to most of us. Elves, on the other hand, aren’t entirely human, they’re humanoid, starting at around eight centimetres." He also claims there are gay and lesbian elves. The school is located in Reykjavík, the country's largest city.The school is headed by Magnús Skarphéðinsson. Magnús has a full curriculum, and certificate programs for visitors that can be earned in as little as half a day. However, the school also publishes texts on hidden people, partly for its own use in the classroom. There is also ongoing research on the elves and hidden people of Iceland. He also collects stories about trolls, fairies, dwarves, and gnomes, but says that "nearly 70 percent of our stories are about hidden people, because they are most seen here." These stories have been collected for the purpose of preservation. Magnús organizes five hour long educational excursions for visitors, and finishes the tour with coffee and pancakes at the school. Despite never advertising his school, Magnus typically gets 5-10 people per excursion. Since opening in 1991, over 9,000 people, most of them foreigners, have attended the school. The Álfaskólinn also provides "aura readings" and "past-life explorations".The question of the "level of belief in elves" in Iceland is somewhat of a cultural topos, with survey results published in 1975, 1995, 1998, 2006. Interpretations of the survey results vary.Based on the 2006 figures, Magnús claims that while only 26% of Icelanders believe in elves (summing the responses 'certain' and 'probable'), 80% "do take notice" (including the replies 'possible' and 'unlikely').".
