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.

To this end we offer the following:

  • A range of literature which may be ordered from the Stav Literature page
  • A DVD interview and training demonstration with Ivar Hafskjold.
  • Regular day training courses in the various aspects of Stav. In 2012 Graham Butcher will be teaching one day seminars in various places in the UK and abroad. For details and to book please see the Ice and Fire Programme page. Or download the PDF Leaflet
