ABSTRACT
AMONG the other powers of the North a magician named Holler was also revered, who, as much by his deceit as through their extraordinary superstition, arrogated to himself the prestige of divinity and worship among these people fascinated by mysteries. He attained a grandeur among the gods equal to that of Odin and achieved such fame in his use of weapons and conjuring that instead of a ship to cross the seas he employed a bone, which he had engraved with fearful spells, and on this he skimmed over the waters in his path as speedily as he could have done with wind-filled sails. In the end, in order that his godhead might be proved mortal, he was destroyed by his rivals with a most ferocious form of death. 1

He crossed the seas on a bone
Nothing prevails against death
