Ice and Fire is the Stav organisation under Graham Butcher. Graham is one of Ivar Hafskjold's original four students and he has created Ice and Fire as part of the Hafskjold–Stav lineage.

The purpose of Ice and Fire is to promote Stav as a way of life, diseminate accurate and appropriate information about Stav and to teach it in a practical and accessible manner. You can find out more about Stav here.
