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 ways that these threads can weave the tapestry of a modern reconstruction.

This workshop will be recorded for folks who can't make the Zoom in person, and sent out for download after the workshop concludes.

The workshop fee is $15. Sliding scale ticket options of $5 and $10 are available for folks who face financial obstacles to attending the workshop.

Glasse Witch Cottage Friday Night Workshops are free for Patreon supporters.
