Seiðr Craft - Chapter 15: The Difference Between Power and Presence
Power can move the unseen, but presence determines whether it stays. This chapter explores why force exhausts, why presence endures, and how the old ways taught that true authority is held in stillness, not display.
Seiðr Craft - Chapter 14: Preparing for Deeper Work
Deeper seiðr does not open to hunger or haste. It waits for stability, restraint, and the quiet strength to stand without reaching. This chapter explores the threshold where readiness is tested and the ground must truly hold.
Seiðr Craft - Chapter 12: The Weight of Words in Seiðr
Speech in seiðr is not expression but consequence - every word a thread cast into the unseen. Silence sharpens the voice, and the voice shapes fate. In this chapter, we walk the edge where breath becomes power and utterance becomes destiny.
Seiðr Craft - Chapter 10: Working With Silence
Silence is not emptiness - it is the deepest presence in seiðr. Long before visions form or voices rise, silence is the first threshold every practitioner must learn to cross. It reveals your fears, steadies your sight, and tests the strength of your grounding. In its weight and texture, the unseen world begins to listen back.
Chapter 10 explores silence as a realm, a teacher, and an initiation.
You’ll learn how to sit inside it without filling it, how to recognise the difference between silence and true absence, and how to read the subtle movements through which gods, ancestors, and land-wights actually speak.
This chapter is not about chasing messages - it is about preparing yourself to receive them. When you can stand inside silence without fear, your seiðr changes forever.
Seiðr Craft - Chapter 9: The Texture of Trance
Trance is not the dramatic plunge many imagine. It is a subtle shift in the body, a softening of the senses, a loosening of the everyday self until the worlds draw close enough to touch. In Chapter 9 of Seiðr Craft, we explore the real texture of trance: the descent of the body, the breath that opens the threshold, the sharpening of inner sight and the quiet tests that reveal misalignment. This chapter shows how Samhildr weaves through every moment of trance, shaping what you perceive, how you interpret it and how you return home.
Seiðr Craft - Chapter 8: ‘Standing’ Grounding
Standing grounding is the spine of seiðr. Before you call to the gods, ancestors, or landvættir, you must become properly placed: rooted, aligned, and fully present. This chapter explores the Norse foundations of grounding through the cosmology of Yggdrasil, shows how historical sources hint at this preparation, and gives you a complete step-by-step ritual to root, center, and steady yourself. When you stand well, the craft opens. When you don’t, everything wavers.
Seiðr Craft – Chapter 7 Samhildr: Where the Laws Become Living
There is a quiet turning point in seiðr where the craft stops being a list of rules to remember and becomes a rhythm that moves through your body on its own. Before that point, the laws sit in the mind like lessons to recite. After it, they weave themselves together instinctively, shaping your breath, your timing and your presence without conscious effort. This shift from memorising to weaving is the essence of Samhildr - the moment the craft stops being something you perform and becomes something you inhabit.
Seiðr Craft - Chapter 6: Ábyrgð - Responsibility
Irresponsibility in seiðr is never harmless. Every working is an exchange, and every thread you pull demands a price. The careless speak of fate as if it is a game, but wyrd does not forget. Power without honour becomes poison. This chapter reveals why responsibility is the foundation of true seiðr - why consent, consequence, and disciplined aftercare are not moral niceties but essential laws of the craft. Those who ignore them pay in silence, sickness, or tangled fate. Those who uphold them walk with steady power. This is not a path for the reckless - it is a path of weight, truth and sacred accountability.
Seiðr Craft - Chapter 5: Sannindi - Truth
Truth in Seiðr is not gentle. It is the fire that strips illusion from sight, the torch that burns away deception until only clarity remains. To live in sannindi is to see as Odin saw — through pain and sacrifice — and to speak as the völva spoke, plainly and without flattery.
In this chapter, we walk the path of truth: how to recognise it, live it, and speak it even when it cuts deep. For without truth, Seiðr collapses into delusion. With it, the staff becomes a torch that lights the way between worlds.

Seiðr craft - Chapter 2: Virðing - Respect
Seiðr Craft – Chapter 2: Virðing (Respect) explores the heart of Norse magic through the ancient principle of virðing — the deep respect that binds all things in the web of being. Before the chants, before the visions, comes honour: to gods, to land, to ancestors, and to oneself.
Through stories from the sagas, lessons of reverence, and modern practices, this chapter reveals how seiðr is more than ritual — it is relationship. It teaches that power without respect becomes chaos, and that every act of magic begins with humility. When we honour what sustains us, our craft grows clear, steady, and alive.
This is a guide to walking the path of the völva with integrity, rooted in frith, woven into wyrd.
