@theoccultgarden: In Old Norse tradition, magic was primarily practiced through Seiðr a shamanic ritual led by female seers Völur using staff work, chanted songs (Varðlokkur), and trance to alter fate or see the future and Galdr, the chanting and carving of runes for protection and spellwork. While gods like Freyja and Odin mastered these arts, practicing Seiðr was culturally reserved almost entirely for women, making them both highly respected and feared in Viking society. #spirituality #magic #norway #vikings #witchtok
