Beat this for an odd piece of history you never knew.  The most well-known witch trial in Iceland involved Jon Jonsson, who admittedly used a book of magic and Runes of Farting against a local girl.  As a result, these magic runes caused extreme humiliation, abdominal discomfort, and constant farting.  Regardless how awesome Jon Jonsson was, he was burned at the stake for his magic rune shenanigans.  Doodiepants…….

Now this is a serious curse:

Dastardly Runes!

which are to afflict your belly with great shitting and shooting pains, and all these may afflict your belly with very great farting. May your bones split asunder, may your guts burst, may your farting never stop, neither day nor night. May you become as weak as the fiend, Loki, who was snared by all the gods.

The Kirkjuból witch trial was perhaps the best-known witch trial in Iceland. It took place in Kirkjuból 1656 in what is today Ísafjörður.

The plaintiff in the trial was pastor Jón Magnússon, who had been suffering poor health since 1654. He contended that his illness, as well as what he described as demonic disturbances in his household and in the surrounding district, were brought on by sorcery practiced by two members of his own congregation, who also sang in the choir, a father and son both named Jón Jónsson. The elder Jón confessed to owning a book about magic and that he had used it against Jón Magnússon. The son also confessed to having made the pastor ill and of having used magical signs and farting runes (Fretrúnir) against a girl. (The curse of farting was intended to be relentless; to not only humiliate the victim, but also to bring about chronic abdominal discomfort and weakness).

Both father and son were found guilty of sorcery and were executed by burning at the stake. After they were executed, the priest was awarded all their material holdings. Claiming that the disturbances and sicknesses did not cease, he then accused a young woman, the daughter/sister of the Jónssons, of witchcraft. The case was brought to Thingvellir, was dismissed and the woman let free. She later countersued, but the outcome of that case is unknown. In Iceland, magic was often practiced and not necessarily associated with the Devil, but the religious and secular authorities, influenced directly or indirectly by Denmark and Germany, had a different view on the subject.
