What's the WyRD?
The Wyrd is an interconnecting web of past, present and future that resonates in the world and in all of us.
The origin story of the Wyrd lies in ancient Norse history where the 3 Norns protect the web at the bottom of Yggdrasil (the Tree of Life) and are the keepers of fate.
In this world, the Völva are healers, seers and spirit guides who can connect with the Wyrd to ask for guidance, harmony and blessings for themselves, for others and for the Universe using Seidr magic.
Seidr allows us to literally tap into the Wyrd's resonating energy. The original Völva would enter into a trance like state and journey into the unearthly worlds to consult with their spirit guides. My modern interpretation of the practice uses sound and energy work to create vibrations that resonate with the Wyrd and connection to by guides through meditative journey.
The Völva may or may not have connected to the Wyrd through divination of Nordic Runes but it us understood that they would have practiced Galdr - chants and incantations using Rune sounds and/or lyrics. The Völva were known as seers so I include this intuitive element in my practice.
There are many, many interpretations of the Wyrd but for me and for my work, I believe strongly that the more effort we put into sending out and letting in good vibes, our collective resonant energy will elevate us to a higher frequency that makes the world a brighter place to be!
