For those readers who enjoyed the anthology “Priestesses Pythonesses & Sibyls” ( see http://pythoness.avalonia.co.uk/foreword.htm for details) you may recall the exellent essay “The Seer” by Katie Gerrard. In this essay Katie writes about her experiences and research of Seidr, a trance technique originating from the Norse traditions of magic. Katie has been working with Seidr since the 1990’s researching and experimenting with what information is available on the historical techniques. For the last few years she has been involved in the facilitation of a practical Seidr group in centra Lonon and has also lectured on this and related subjects at national events in the UK.
Well we have just found out that Katie will be facilitating a course in using the Runes at the magical bookshop Treadwells in Covent Garden, London this September. In this workshop she will cover the history of the Galdra, Spellcraft, intoning and making your own set of Runes and it is great oppurtunity for anyone interested in working with the Runes to find out more. Details can be found at Katie’s website “The BirchTree” http://www.thebirchtree.com/page12.htm
