E20: Intro to Seidr and Galdr

Seidr and Galdr—two ancient arts that blur the line between the spiritual and the mystical. In this episode, we’ll explore how these practices were woven into Norse myth and daily life, and what they can teach us today about voice, will, and weaving fate.

Join us as we trace the stories of the völva, Odin’s quest for knowledge, and the songs that shaped the worlds. Stay to the end for a guided meditation that brings you to the roots of Yggdrasil, connecting you with the living rhythm of the cosmos.
