The Lögberg-Heimskringla Crossword Puzzle
A fylgja in North Dakota
In Icelandic, the word
fylgja can mean “to follow”
but is also a noun meaning “a
spirit or ghost that attaches
itself to a particular person.”
Donna Skardal relates a sto-
ry she heard from her grand-
mother Margaret Eyjolfson,
the daughter of Guðmundur
Eyjólfsson and Katrín Mag-
núsdóttir of Iceland. She
lived in Akra, ND and later
moved to Winnipegosis, MB
and then to Foam Lake, SK.
“My grandmother came
to Akra, North Dakota with
her parents and they home-
steaded a little farm there,”
says Donna.
“Grandma was about 12
years old when her parents
were called away, to a fu-
neral I believe, a good day’s
journey away. So they made
arrangements for Grandma’s
young friend to stay with her
and keep her company, and
the girls they would do the
chores and that, look after
things. They also arranged
that a neighbour would stop
in that night after he came
from the field to see if every-
thing was all right as well.
“After supper, when the
girls had fed the calves and
the chickens and they were
just sitting on the beds and
talking as twelve-year-old
girls would do, all of a sud-
den Grandma saw a light go
by the window. She jumped
up and said, ‘Oh, that must
be Oli!’ So she went to the
door, but there was no one
there, nor was there any sign
of a light.
“She was sort of puzzled,
but went back into the house,
and just a short time later
— 15 minutes, 20 maybe
— there was a knock on the
door, and there was Oli. And
Grandma said, ‘Oh! Where
is your lantern? Your light?’
“‘Well,’ he said, ‘I just
came in from the field; I
didn’t take the time to bring
one. I don’t have one — I
thought it would be bright
enough to come.’
“And she said, in Ice-
landic I guess, ‘Then a light
must be your fylgja to go
ahead of you.’
“And he looked at her
and said, ‘As a matter of fact,
a very old woman back in
Iceland told me, a long time
ago, that a light would go be-
fore me wherever I went.’”
Donna Skardal lives in
Baldur, MB.
