Welcome to this course!


You will meet Norse Gods and Goddesses, explore different realms, create (and use!) your own set of runes, experience a high seat ceremony and experience many other Old Norse traditions and customs.

(For a very detailed course description please email Imelda on [email protected])


I could not record the ceremonial evenings (for confidentiality reasons) so those are missing, which is reflected in the (reduced) price of the course.

Once enough people complete the course in their own time and location, my intention is to arrange a day of ceremonial work (High Seat + Hall of the Rune Magicians) allowing all participants to catch up. Advanced students will assist me on this day (but a date has not yet been set).

There are 12 Instruction Webinars in All, of which 10 are available as recordings for those who enroll in their own time!
