Welcome to the Ice and Fire Home Page

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
  • Monthly training courses in the various aspects of Stav. Over the course of the year we endevour to cover the main aspects of Stav. For details and to book please see the Ice and Fire Programme page. Or download the PDF Leaflet
  • Weekly classes are held but at present only in Taunton in Somerset, we hope this will expand in the future.
  • Camps for Stav training at least three times a year. In 2008 we are holding our Summer Stav Camp with Ivar Hafskjold in July, and we held our Woodland living Camp in May and our Martial training camp in June, you can find more details of these at the Stav Camp Site and book online at the Ice and Fire Programme page.
  • A membership scheme with various benefits including substantial discounts on course and camp fees, full details can be found at Join Ice and Fire page.
  • A martial training programme which has been developed over the past ten years. More details on the Martial Art page

    Our Next Course is: "The Stav Summer Camp with Ivar Hafskjold." in Somerset on the 16th to 20th of July.
