Seidr is a (Northern) European ancestral tradition whose roots go far beyond the Viking Age and can be traced back to the matriarchal cultures and fertility rites of indigenous peoples. Depending on its form, Seidr combines aspects of animism, shamanism, folk medicine, priestesshood and witchcraft, as well as initiation and mystery paths.

A personal Seidr practice weaves an indestructible bond between us and the divine. It teaches us how to use the primal forces of life in a targeted manner to bring about change in our life circumstances and to work for the highest good of all.

Seidr traditionally involves working with song, staff, oracle seat and the spirit world (often associated with runes and galdr). It is practised alone or in community. Key elements include utiseta (vision quests), mediumship (oracular practices and divination), ceremonies (land and group healing) and the interplay of cosmic forces and the cycles of nature (annual rituals, offerings, etc.).
