Common Misconceptions About Trance Possession

TW: this post speaks on themes of sexual assault, misogyny, and other themes that are connected to the way we do this work.

Disclaimer: This work is not recommended for those under the age of 24. It is not recommended especially for minors. Though it is good to learn about healthy dynamics, intimate relationships with the Divine should not be happening while the frontal lobe is still in development.

There are few places that speak on the rewards and benefits of possessory work, if any. Westernized opinions tend to affiliate possession with demons inhabiting humans and priests attempting to expunge them from the bodies of innocent people. Even the pagans who have started this work through various means like oracular seidr rites or possessory rites have often taken to the issue that we have no control, no say, and no benefit from doing this kind of work to sway people from not using it as a power trip.

We allow ourselves no freedom to show people that we aren’t doing it in a selfish way. But while trying to make sure people don’t abuse this situation by fear-mongering and twisting it to suit the narrative of the people showing this, we end up abusing ourselves in the process.

I have explained the nuance of trance possession before but I haven’t actually broken down the ways in which it can be beneficial and what kinds of relationships can come out of doing this work.

An introduction of this blog:

My name is Raven and I am a practicing Norse pagan. Specifically, I am a priestess of the goddess Sigyn who I am oathed to. I also have a relationship with Loki, but I do not do work for Him. Rather, my job is to serve Sigyn.

There is very little known about Sigyn. Most of who She was has been wiped from history and we only have a few brief mentions of Her in the stories, the most notable one being where She held a bowl above Loki to catch snake venom while He was bound in the cave. She is truly so much more though.

This blog will function off my UPGs from working so closely with Sigyn. I recognize that there is little context for Her and while I serve Her, you may take from this blog what serves you best. Not everyone will agree with what I have to say, and that is quite alright. I am not here to argue, just to share.

My hope is that people will begin to reach out and get to know Sigyn, as She is truly remarkable in Her ways and being. I hope that by sharing my stories with Her, you may feel comfortable reaching out to know Her yourself.

Being so afraid of being wrong that you can’t move is actually the worst thing you could do for your practice.

You aren’t imposing on anyone.

You aren’t insulting the Gods. Arguably, you don’t actually know what would be considered insulting unless you’ve actually asked Them.

You’re not going to be beaten up and told you are the worst devotee ever.

You aren’t going to be told by any Deity you are morally imbalanced or impure.

The only thing the Gods are actually concerned with is the ability to get you to listen to Them which means peeling away layers and layers of trauma, biases, and patterns that take you away from Them. They would not forcibly remove you from Their attentions just because you wanted to try something new or do something that no one else is doing.

The ultimate goal of any Divine relationship for either side should always be to draw nearer to Them, not be pushed away because your discernment is inaccurate while you are learning.
