Welcome to online Seiðr Class #6!
In this class we explore the path of the Priest or Priestess in the Old Norse Tradition. Which roles did the Goði or Gyðja perform in their communities and how does this translate to the needs and demands of modern life and our role in our own 21st century spiritual community?
Please note that the recordings for the previous five on-line Seiðr classes remain available on this site (but attending them is not a prerequisite for attending this class!)
A wonderful and committed international community has built during these classes and I look forward to building more "cultural bridges between continents" with all of you!
I invite you all to also check out my books! All chapters (of all my non-fiction books) end with an activity or exercise. Plenty of material you can work with on your own!
See you soon! Imelda
