A Providence, Rhode Island resident, Ian Chinich graduated from Boston University and holds a master of arts in political science. He serves as a customer service representative with Automated Health Systems. Ian Chinich likes to travel in his free time, and has visited the Museum of Witchcraft and Sorcery in Iceland.
The Museum of Witchcraft and Sorcery presents the history of witchcraft in Iceland, and features a wide range of artifacts and unique items associated with sorcery. People that visit the museum can observe zombies, demons, and magical staves such as Hulinhjalmur, a stave that was once known to make people invisible. Even though witches are mostly believed to be females throughout the world, based largely on the Salem witches, Iceland has a different story. The first person who was burned as a sorcerer in Iceland was a man, and it happened in 1654.
The Museum of Witchcraft and Sorcery features a ritualistic stone from the time of the Vikings. The stone was used by Vikings to create a connection with the gods and make sacrifices to them, and traces of blood can still be found on the stone.
