This isn´t your Great Aunt Betsy´s seidr!
This is a book about Contemporary Seidr. I call what I do and teach Contemporary Seidr because it is not
the kind of traditionally-know Seidr.
It´s not exactly the kind of Seidr found mentioned ever-so-briefly in the Norse lore,
but a type of Seidr that is influenced by other different practices and traditions.
It is a style of Seidr that is closely akin to Shamanic practices found in other cultures and traditions.
