Wouldn't the English translation be dwarfs?

They aren't really popular wights, from what I can tell. I haven't really seen anyone talk about working with them, and I certainly haven't.

Going by lore, I expect they would react well to flattery, especially complementing their intelligence. They are also known for being greedy, so you could bury something valuable for them to find. Of course, when all else fails, give 'em booze!

I think offerings and working with them would best be done at night, as it's written in several places that creatures from Svartalfheim turn to stone in the sun.

Depending on your take on tha whole "dokkalfar" thing , you may or may not choose treat them similarly to elves.

I have notice that, I wonder why, but guessing that's another topic.
But can u explain how I would by going through the offerings, please.
I read that to about turning to stone.
Didn't know if that made much difference but will keep that in min about working with them at night time.
Is there anything else?
Please and thank you.

I would not recommend that book at all. I've read Conway's work. She teaches "Norse Magics" as Norse Wiccan, and it's not the same thing.

Conway in general is less than reputable. Much of her work, from what I've seen, is either UPG, lifted from others, or a personal take on things posing as an informative, all-encompassing resource.
