#seidh

I have this post in me about how all cultures evolved from adopting other practices and how I feel like my heathenry will become something modern rooted in history and tradition, rather than a speculative reconstruction of sorts.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, it’s just not for me. I like to experiment, especially with magickal practices, so to me, as far as something as seidh goes for example, I don’t think it matters how we enter trance, it’s our intent that matters and where we travel.

But that’s just me. I wish I had anybody to learn from and to exchange ideas.

Anyways, all this could be a longer post, but it just won’t come out yet.

The Galdrabók

This is a resource in Icelandic magick, including their system of magick as well as insight on their deities. I would like to read more into it, but for now I share it with all of you.

And can I just say how this is a great way to organize magick? (Shown below)

In fact, I would consider myself relatively uneducated/illiterate in traditional forms of magick (I’m slowly catching up!!) and more experienced with the actual workings and practice of magick firsthand. I am in some desperate need to look more into Icelandic understandings of magick (and other traditions) because even just looking through this book, it clears some things up for me.

Just looking into those classifications of galdur and seidh helps me better classify and put into perspective the mechanics of my own practice and the functionality of magick as I’ve observed.

Sooooo... I have to educate myself some more! And I’m loving it. Just a little disoriented by how much I need to learn and how to manage it all 😅

The roles of a Gyðja, as told by Laine Mardollsdottir

I decided to have a small ritual to honor Freyja. 😊

Getting up at gone 3pm after seeing Eivør and Heilung yesterday.

It was fucking awesome getting to drag @holy3cake down to see Eivør, and still nuts to me that this silly blog I made to fangirl about the Weeping Monk/Lancelot and write whump ended up gaining me an irl friend.

What an incredible night!

This song will not leave my head, and I think I need to write this into Horizons to Battlegrounds because the Ashfolk vibes are immense...

This is my main blog but I've got a couple pagan side blogs, mostly @tuiliel, which is where I was following the thread, but you said:

"Asked Freyja on me at a ritual at PantheaCon" or similar on skald's post any how everyone should contribute more, and that caught my attention, and combined with your ask button text - are you trained in Hrafnar-style Oracular Seidr??? If so, me too - and hello, new friend!

Yes! Not only was I trained in Hrafnar-style Oracular Seidh, I was a member of Seidhjallr and Hrafnar for many years. Diana Paxson was my clergy training mentor as well!

I and a handful of other members hived off a South Bay group from Seidhjallr many years ago, and several have joined us directly since. We no longer focus exclusively on Hrafnar-style Seidh. We are called the Nine Worlds Wanderers. But we've been on a bit of a hiatus lately.

That said, the ritual at PantheaCon I'm referring to in that particular post was actually a Facets of Freyja ritual, conducted by a handful of us from Hrafnar, the Vanic Conspiracy, and Hrafn Skjoldr Kindred combined into "Freyja's Aett".
