Over the course of 5 days, you will be thoroughly introduced to the Scandinavian ways of folk magic and spirituality. This workshop will be taught as practical training for the student with demos, presentation and lecture, but with emphasis on hands-on learning and practical skills. Handouts will be included. Taught by Johannes Gårdbäck traveling from Gothenburg, Sweden, and Missy Rhysing owner of Ritualcravt, Colorado.
ITINERARY:
Day 1. Trolldom, Kultur & Natur – Introduction to the Lands, Culture & Folk Magic of the Scandinavian tradition. An introduction to Scandinavian Nature & Culture, and folklore over the past 5000 years in ways relevant to Spirituality and Trolldom. You will get to learn what dwells under the ground, around us in the forests, meadows and hills in a way few non-Swedes ever get the chance. Burial mounds, ancient stone ships, Sacred wells, Hills/Meadows/Groves of the Vanir and Aesir and far older deities. We will look at folk art and how it carries the trolldom tradition throughout the ages despite religious shifts, building traditions, the hidden layers of festivities such as Jul and Midsummer and much more.
Day 2. Spådom – The ability to see spirits, spells, and the unseen. Diagnosis, fortune telling and divination. After a short introduction to the traditional ways of Spådom – such as Årsgång (The Annual Walk), Stöpa (Steeping), Se I Spegel (Mirror work) – we will dive right into the training and opening of these inherent abilities to perceive these things in the participants.
Day 3. Naturens Språk – The Languages of Nature and how to use them. The keys to our initiatory practices of the Dragons Blood and the White Serpent lore. We will take a look at inner languages and outer languages that will unlock abilities to spirit travel and do all kinds of practical magical work in the spirit realms. We will talk about the languages of Trees, Herbs, Stones, Minerals, Animals of the Tradition and how to explore them, their qualities and spirits for various trolldom purposes.
Day 4. Besvärjelser. – Spells and Trolldom methods to heal, hurt and everything in between. An introduction into the means and methods of the tradition and how we go from there to easily design work for any kind of magical purpose.
Day 5. Väsen – This day is dedicated to the Spirits of the Tradition: Ancestors of blood and land, how to handle the spirits of the dead, befriending the Tomte, Trolls, Elves, Dwarfs, vaettir, various nature spirits and the Deities. Relating & communicating in fruitful ways.
