Very thorough beginner’s course
This beginners course offered more than I expected and I already expected great things from it 🙂
Although I’m familiar with Germanic cosmology, the approachable and down to earth teaching style of the course gives the often academic or esoteric concepts depth through the actual practice of Seidr.
I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone interested in Seidr. Naomi and David are not just skillful practitioners and teachers they provide lessons and delve into topics in ways I’ve never seen them explained before.
As an example, the Germanic Wheel of the Year is a framework they developed to illustrate all the seasons and how they interact and align with the nine worlds, Yggdrasil and the inhabitants of these places. However, students aren’t left with just an intriguing concept, we are also taught and encouraged to develop our skill in trancework & journeying through exploring and experiencing the concepts laid out in the year wheel in very tangible ways.
This is only one example, there are many more takeaways from this course which I believe will enrich the practice of anyone interested in the workings of Seidr, whether you are an experienced practitioner of other magical frameworks or this is your first time delving into these arts.
Excellent course about the theoretical and practical foundations of Seidr taught by a wise and passionate teacher
The Seidr course by Mirkrida – School of Seidr is the perfect course to build a strong foundation for your personal and individual ritual practice on. Based on the rituals and magical practices of the Germanic peoples from Northwest Europe, you’ll learn different Seidr techniques, such as Trance Journeying, Galdr and divination, how to connect with gods, spirits and your ancestors.
The course is grounded both in profound historical research and the teacher’s vast personal experience in the field. Naomi provides lots of easy to follow video tutorials, texts and academic papers to study with. I learned how to practice Seidr with this course hands-on: guided by the teachings I created my own ritual tools, connected with them and found my own songs to work with in ritual.
The course is divided into six chapters that chronologically build upon each other. The assignments at the end of each chapter deepened my understanding of the teachings and encouraged me to adapt the techniques and ideas that Naomi shared in a way to make them really my own.
You can work in your own time and at your own pace through this course; Naomi is always available to answer questions and provide feedback if you ask for it. She is a great mentor that teaches in a really graceful way by sharing her knowledge and personal experiences without forcing her opinions on her students at any moment. This is a rare and precious gift and really refreshing to see – considering the unfortunately widespread gatekeeping attitude that is present in a lot of pagan online communities.
The teachings offered in this course by both Naomi and her husband David are far from the superficial and airy content you can easily come upon online when researching “norse” magic, rune work or mythology. Instead the teachers share concepts and ideas that they have developed and tested in their own year long ritual practice. The Northwest European Wheel of the Year as a strong basis for a lot of their workings is only one great example for this.
I recommend this course to everyone who is interested in Seidr or Northwest European folk magic. No matter how little or how much knowledge you have beforehand, this course is going to expand your view on well-known topics and present you with exciting new practices to incorporate into your personal life.
This course offers you profound knowledge and deep dives in a very accessible way. That being said the course can still be challenging at times, but is always deeply rewarding and in the end you will have gained knowledge that can serve and support you for the rest of your life.
Wonderful Course!
I am deeply grateful to Naomi and David for their commitment to this practice with authenticity and integrity. I feel like I learned so much and will be integrating this forever!
Stunning and life changing
This is clear, guided spiritual learning like I have nevwr been able to find anywhere else. Thank you for connecting me to my ancestors!
