Personal Bio
Seiður" is the Icelandic word which is used to describe the magic rituals that were practiced in Iceland during the Viking age. I still practice the Old Ways to this day. In pre-Christian Icelandic Mythology, seiður was associated with Oðinn, the god of war, poetry and sorcery, and Freyja, the goddess of fertility, magic and death; and during the days of first settlement, Icelandic sorcerers called upon these deities through spells and sacred poetry, asking to be granted the power to heal the sick, ward off enemies or simply ease the everyday toils of their fellow men and women. Although in most cases, Icelandic sorcerers of Viking times used white magic for their personal benefit or to aid others in times of need, the dark years of the middle ages would come to provide quite a few exceptions to Iceland's lineage of white magicians. I call upon Odin, and Thor, and Loki, along with Tyr and Frey. The Norse Gods are always with me as I am with them.
