Seiðr/Fornsed Courses in Wisconsin
(A body of work commonly referred to as "Norse Shamanism", but that term is historically inaccurate!)
Hosted by the Golden Light Healing Center , just north of Green Bay (Amy and Dave Wilinski)
THE SEIÐR/FORNSED FOUNDATION COURSE
April 24 - 27, 2025
This is an intensive "full immersion" course which covers grounding in Norse Cosmology, an introduction to the major deities and inhabitants of other worlds, the runes of the Elder Futhark, galdr and many other foundational concepts for beginners.
Our work includes a High Seat Ceremony and a Hall of the Rune Magicians Ceremony.
ADVANCED NORSE MODULE #1
THE NORNS, THE VITKI AND CHANGING THE WEAVE
October 10 - 13, 2024
In this advanced Norse module we will work with the Norns: Urðr, Skuld and Verðandi, individually and as a collective. We will have a close look at their names (often misunderstood and mistranslated). They are said to decide the fate of all beings (and not just human beings, also animals, land etc.) but how do they do that? And do we have any power over their workings? What role does human free will play?
ADVANCED NORSE MODULE #2
THE VITKI OR RUNE MAGICIAN: ADVANCED RUNE STUDIES
May 1 - 4, 2025
We will take our work with the runes to a more advanced level and work with rune staves, bind runes and sigils. We will also look at runic calendars, rune magic and runic codes (encrypted runes).
We will have a brief look at later rune rows than the Elder Futhark (some of which have 9 additional runes) and make a brief foray into "exotic" topics such as Norse Love Magic and pre-Christian techniques for solving crimes.
