Seidhr: Reviving Lost Magic

In pre-Christian Scandinavia, a unique group of ritual specialists tended to the spiritual, magical, and practical needs of their people. These traveling practitioners were known as völur. Revivalist Heathens are rediscovering and rebuilding this ancient magical tradition. Explore the tantalizing finds revealed through modern archeology, the subtle messages contained in written records, and some techniques for weaving these threads into the tapestry of a modern reconstruction.

This class is limited to 15 attendees. Sliding scale passes are available for those who face financial barriers to attendance.
