In this immersive class, you will learn the ancient art of galdr and stave magic, focusing specifically on the creation of protective staves used as wards. Rooted in Northern European folk traditions, these symbols are more than marks. They are living constructs activated through intention, breath, sound, and ritual.
Participants will explore the history, folklore, and cultural context of galdrastafir and lukkastafir, gaining a clear understanding of how and why these staves were traditionally used for protection, sealing, and energetic boundary setting. From there, we will move into the practical work of designing, activating, and maintaining warding staves for homes, sacred spaces, and personal spiritual use.
In this class, you will learn:
• The difference between galdrastafir, lukkastafir, and other well known protective staves
• How wards function energetically and symbolically
• Ethical and respectful approaches to working with traditional stave magic
• Methods for creating your own protective staves with clarity and intention
• Activation techniques using galdr (voice), breath, and ritual
• Proper placement, upkeep, and release of wards
This class is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Whether you are seeking to protect your space, strengthen energetic boundaries, or deepen your connection to ancestral magical practices, this workshop offers practical tools and deeper insight into the power of warding through stave magic.
Come prepared to work with focus, reverence, and intention as you learn to craft wards that stand firm and true.

All materials for this class are included in the ticket price.
