Introduction to Norse Goddesses

An introductory class to the goddesses of the North Germanic peoples – focusing on knowledge from the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda in order to inform our lesson and discussion. In this class, we will explore the major and minor goddesses of Northern paganism and ways to honor and connect with these complex and powerful female deities. We will review ways to set up altars and strategies for developing personal relationships with the goddesses and other female beings of the North.
