Icelandic folk magic and magical texts — so-called low and high magic – combine as sources and inspiration for A Book of Staves by Jesse Bransford. Within we are offered a series of pencil and watercolour drawings that describe the natural world as the artist experienced it in his travels in the Icelandic landscape; the works are spiritual aspirations as expressed through his art.
 
The works presented in A Book of Staves are original and powerful magical emblems created by the artist as naturalist. They are prefaced with a statement from the artist and an introduction by Robert J. Wallis, both offered in English with a parallel text in Icelandic. The images are further augmented with liberal quotations from Carolyne Larrington's much lauded translation of the Hávamál.
