Folk Magic and Spiritual Counsel
At the dawn of the 2nd Millennium...
life for the Northern people was shaken by climate change, the Black Death, political unrest, spiritual confusion and cultural conflict.
In such times of deep uncertainty, the Sagas tell us of a wandering Seeress, called a Völva (or Vǫlva in Old Norse), who traveled from farmstead to farmstead in the darkest, longest nights of Winter.
When a Völva arrived, the entire community gathered with great ceremony and eager to consult with her. The Völva looked at omens, held community rituals, entered trance and co-created a conversation with each individual “to learn what each of them was most curious to know.” She was honored, respected, powerful and sometimes feared by those who might find the truth uncomfortable.

Welcome to the dawn of the 3rd Millennium and the Return of the Völva.
Today we face the same disease, hardships, chaos and social collapse. It is time for you to return to the practices our ancestors relied upon for support and survival because your very existence is credit to your ancestors’ ability to assess and adapt to radical changes in their lives.
I practice a modern version of the ancient Völva craft. I rely upon my own ancestral tradition of runes, folk magic and spiritwork of the North when working with people as it has been handed down to me by teachers and ancestors.
As a magical and spiritual tradition, I have found the Northern Tradition directly applicable to modern life in four ways: (1) it is specific in its messages and guidance, (2) its power and actions on people are palpable, (3) it is indifferent to social or political trends and (4) it is a non-appropriated open tradition.
I am called by many names--a witch, a seeress, a trollkvinna, a häxa or a völva.
I have always been the uncomfortable, sometimes unwelcome, truth teller of my family and friends. (Ask me about my childhood/early adulthood as the "identified patient".)
Since I was young, my ancestors told me that I am here to help people connect with their own deepest truths, even if uncomfortable.

What Is Folk Magic and Spiritual Counseling?
Just as the ancient Völva visited her community regularly and engaged them in co-creating the process, we will work together for multiple sessions in a supported environment. Each 60 minute session will involve the 4 part model described and is a cumulative and evolving process benchmarked against previous sessions. Between these sessions, we will meet for shorter less structured integration sessions where questions or issues can be addressed. Our conversations will be deep, truth-based, sometimes uncomfortable but always relevant and thought provoking. At the end of our work together, we will reassess and plan for continued development of your deepening insight.
60 minute sessions with clients typically follow a 4 step process:

- Further Practices/Rituals: practice from the folk magic of the North, to continue integrating.

Shifting Your Own Saga:A 6 Month Journey$750
|
The ancient Sagas tell of our ancestors being “bewildered” at sea due to fog or bad weather and the heroic actions they took to regain a clear path . Perhaps you find yourself equally “bewildered” in your own life path at the moment. And you know it is up to YOU to take charge, make changes and set a course through this bewilderment.
Change is hard and shifting your saga alone is like turning a longship in the sea solo. The North Wind blows hard on us all from time-to-time and no amount of love, light and mantras are going to set you clear.
