Utiseta: Forging Bonds of Magical Power:
The roots of folk magic is found among the patterns of nature; the stones and soil, the trees and roots, the mounds and cairns, and in the wind and weather. Most wisdom cultures have systems for deepening perception of the natural world both inside and outside of us. Utiseta, or “sitting out” is one such custom found in northern folk traditions. Engaging in this practice amplifies your capacity to forge authentic bonds with the great powers of the land.
This class will explore the old lore of sitting out on burial mounds as it has been passed through the ages, a practice filled with relevancy for every magical practitioner. Equally, we will learn an even deeper practice— complete perception of the energy, spirits, and patterns found in the natural world. We will discuss methods of sitting on the land, communicating with elements, the language of birds, the indicators of ecology, and how to walk the land in a sacred way. Ancient sorcerers, farmers, and healers knew how to listen to the wind, smell the season, taste when the harvest was ripe, and influence forces of nature. Here, we learn these practices of immersive nature awareness for the modern world. Here, we will forge the threads of connection, the reciprocity, and the communication systems to fully integrate nature’s pattern to empower authentic sorcery.
