HELM OF DISGUISE | HULINSHJÁLMUR

There exists a stone like no other. It has special powers, is extremely precious and very difficult to find. There are only three mountains in Iceland where it may be found. Upon these mountains are little ponds and it is said that on midsummer’s night the stones float to their surface. However, it is not easy to catch them and you must leave the water before the sun has fully risen, otherwise the stones will imprison you. It is called Hulinshjálmur, which translates as the „Helm of disguise“ and if you hold it in your hand you become invisible. This blanket is dedicated to these stones and to all those moments when you feel like disappearing for a while.
