The Two-Year Seidr Practitioner Training

A Pathway to Ancestral Wisdom, Trance, and Sacred Service

Step into the woven threads of the old ways.

This two-year training is an immersive and transformative journey into the practice of seidr—an ancient form of Norse trance, spirit-work, and prophecy. Rooted in the deep traditions of the völva and the seer, this program is designed for those called to walk between the worlds, to listen on the wind, and to speak the truths that rise from the Otherworld.

You’ll learn how to enter altered states, work with the spirits of land and lineage, and develop your skills in divination, healing, and ritual leadership. Each module offers grounded teachings, practical techniques, and space for your own intuitive unfolding.

This is a training for those who feel the pull of the ancient north—the drumbeat of memory, the call of the staff, the song of the seidkona rising in their bones.
