Voluspa?

[Nitefalle]

I just saw this book on Amazon and it got really great, rave reviews. Has anyone on this board read it? Any opinions?

Völuspá - Seiðr as Wyrd Consciousness by Yngona Desmond

[Hærfest Leah]

No I haven't had the chance. (although it's on my wish list)

Her blog...

Haven't read it, but Yngona is one of the world's leading authorities on seidr.

Oh wow.....I just realized she's on a Yahoo mailing list that I'm a member of!! Cool....I will definitely pick her brain on there.

If anyone is interested, the name of the mailing list is SpindleNBroomsticks, and centers mainly around Frigga and her 13 handmaidens. HazelKate is the list owner.

I went searching for that list and it was not found, I even googled for it and came up with nothing. What's the link?

I'm a member of Asynjur, you may like that one. I know Yngona from that group too.

Yngona is also on the Troth member's email list.

Doh! It's "spindleNbroom", not sticks at the end. Sorry!

Sorry I'm just getting back here, I found the list, thanks. I'll join and try the group out.

I just got my autographed copy of Voluspa from Yngona in the mail today. I'm in the middle of another book at the moment but I'll start it too. Get back with me soon and I'll give you an update.

Small world, eh? I doubt if there are even 6 degrees of separation between Heathens around the entire globe...

I own an autographed copy of "Voluspa: Seidhr As Wyrd Consciousness" by Yngona Desmond. What I've read of it so far is insightful if unorthodox, though I wouldn't critisize Mrs. Desmond as she knows a whole lot more than me. I've also Sumbled with her. She's a very wise woman and is quite possibly the most physically fit grandmother I've ever met. She practices what she preaches.

Hehehe... yep... she recently visited Finland & Siberia to study shamanism in it's homeland, & killed a wild boar with a spear there...

I found it had a very in depth review and interpretation...though not the interpretation that I'm used to seeing.

I'm soo jealous.
