About this Event

Step into the vast world of Norse Paganism and what it means to be one. This entry level class will cover Animism, elemental magik, the Norse gods, how to have a daily practice, and end with a group journey to send you back out into the world feeling more connected to the realm around you.

  • Animism
  • Hailing the Northern Gods
  • Elemental magik
  • Honoring ancestors
  • Having a daily practice
