Staðbundin þjóðsaga
The Guardian Spirit of Reykjavík
Icelandic tradition holds that each of the four quarters of Iceland is protected by a landvættur — a guardian spirit. Reykjavík falls under the protection of the great bird (sometimes described as a griffin or eagle) that guards the southwest. According to the 13th-century Heimskringla, when the Danish king Harald Bluetooth sent a wizard to spy on Iceland in the shape of a whale, the guardian bird of the southwest drove him away with a great rush of wings. The four landvættir appear on Iceland's coat of arms to this day — the dragon, eagle, bull, and giant — representing the supernatural protection that Icelanders believe watches over their island.
