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.
