  • General Info
General Information
Description
Sveinbj�rn Beinteinsson, a native of Iceland, was instrumental in helping to gain recognition by the Icelandic government for the pre-Christian Norse religion. The �satr�arf�lagi�, which he founded in 1972, and for which he acted as go�i, was officially recognised as a religious body in 1973. Sveinbj�rn lived his entire life in West Iceland. From 1944 on, he was a sheep farmer while also pursuing literary interests on the side. He published a book of r�mur in 1945, a textbook on the verse forms of r�mur in 1953, two volumes of his own verse in 1957 and 1976, and edited several anthologies. Sveinbj�rn is regarded with much respect and affection amongst �satr�. Not only was he a well known r�mur singer, or kv��ama�ur, in Iceland, he also gained an audience and followers in Europe and North America. He sometimes performed at rock concerts and is the opening act in the film Rokk � Reykjav�k, directed by Fri�rik ��r Fri�riksson. Sveinbj�rn can be heard singing on the bootleg album "Ragnarok" by Burzum, on the last track of the album entitled "Havamal".
