In this workshop we will work with the 24 runes from the Elder Fuþark. They are also called the Old Futhark and are from the Proto-Norse language, which was the Scandinavian language from the 2^nd to the 8^th centuries. But, what do we really know about these Proto-Norse runes?

We will look at the history of the runes and at what sources we have, like the runic poems. "Rune" means "secret", and there are beliefs of a religious or magical meaning of the rune symbols.

In addition to working with the written and sound value of the runes, we will also review their symbolic value and how we can make use of their power. We will explore the runes as a magical tool for use in for example healing or spells.

Your main Energy Centers, called Chakras, embody many symbolic messages.  Being In-Balance, or Out- of-Balance, in any of the Chakras, can elicit a whole range of emotions and behaviors.  Learn how to tell which of your Chakras is out of Balance by observing yourself honestly.

In  Norse mythology there was female beings, known as norns, who spun the thread of life, not just for humans, but also for the gods. Life was something that was spun: a lace or rope that one could send on the way and one that could be manipulated. There are theories that Sejd seems to be the act of spinning, sending, attracting and manipulating this spirit line. This workshop is an introduction to Sejd. Through sources, theories, different experiences and practices we will gain a greater understanding of how seid can be used as a spiritual tool. Sejd is a practice in northern magic that has a clear resemblance to shamanism. It can be used to work with the lifelines, achieve visions, healing, and divine insights. Sejd is performed intuitively through song that sends the seer into trance. Inger Johanne will be focusing on different techniques and forms that can be used to exert Sejd. She will present sources, theories, different experiences and practices to gain a greater understanding of how Seid can be used as a spiritual tool.

In the modern Western world we think that man consists of body, mind and spirit, but our ancestors had a more complex division of spirit or the soul. It is thought that they had an animistic view of the world and also part their soul could be seen as a living being.

In Old Norse literature we can find several consepts of the soul: the líkamr (“vital processes”), the hamr (“shape/form/appearance”), the hugr (“thought”), munr (“desire”), the hamingja (“luck”) and the fylgja (“follower”).

Fylgja literally translates as “follower,” but, as often as not, it’s depicted as traveling ahead of its owner, arriving at the intended destination before its owner or appearing in the dreams. The Fylgja as the Valkyrier, Norns, and Diser all belong to the same category, devine entities that descend into the world as fate-spinners, to protect, guard and advise human beings.

Inger will in introduce they why she works with Norse shamanism and her Fylgja.  What do we really know about this type of being and is it possible to get in contact with our Flygja. Ends with a guided drum meditation
