The Author

Lars Magnar Enoksen (b. 1960) of both Swedish (maternal) and Norwegian (paternal) heritage, has written thirty-two books regarding Runes, Galdrs, Glima, Norse Mythology and Viking History. Primarily published in English and Scandinavian tongues, but also translated into Spanish, German, French, Japanese and Czech languages.

As a teenager in the late 1970s, Lars Magnar was a vintage punk rock era musician and by the age of twenty-three already busy writing for Walt Disney, with his comic book adventures released all over the world! This creative era spanned over several decades, and included illustrating many obscure graphic novels, which lead to the Swedish Academy of Comic Art awarding him the “Mini-Adamson” statuette in 1986 for his original creations used in advertising. In 1995 Lars Magnar began writing books about old Scandinavian traditions and “the Rune- stones of Scania” (Skånes runstenar), for which he was awarded best book of the year by the Native Heritage Association in 2000. 

Lars Magnar has a long and prolific fighting/wrestling (Glima) career that officially decorated him with “The symbol of maturity” (Stora grabbars märke) by the Swedish Budo & Martial Arts Federation 2009 for his Worldclass Championships achievement, as well as becoming ‘traditional martial artist of the year’ in 2016, which cemented his Grandmaster status. Furthermore, as a renowned Nordic Galdra-singer, he had preformed live and on studio-recordings with internationally successful bands such as Wardruna (2013), Niundi (2020) and Bhleg (2022).
