Velkommen til trommereise under Blomstermånen d. 1. mai. ✨🌸🌕🌸✨

Mens månen vandrer over himmelbuen, vandrer vi på vår vakre jord. Årshjulet snurrer, og vi står ved inngangen til sommeren under fullmånen.

Fullmånen i mai – også kalt “Blomsterfullmånen” – bringer fornyelse, vekst og håp. Det er et godt tidspunkt å jobbe med denne kraften for å få klarhet og bekreftelse i viktige aspekter av livet ditt. Det kan være tid for å se på målene dine, fornye og bekrefte løftene og forpliktelsen til det du ønsker å fylle livet ditt med.

Blir du med på trommereise på d. 1.Mai ? Skriv “blomstermåne” hvis du ønsker mer info 🌺🌼🌸🪻🌕

"I tend to the soil as if I am tending to my ancestors. As if I am tending to my children. As if I am tending to my future grandchildren.
Because I am. The soil is made of what has died. The soil will grow the life/food for who comes next."

Some years ago I was in the small village Nanortalik where I was born in Kalaallit Nunaat. I was there doing a project for youth and kids with at their wonderful summer camp.
One evening I was asked if I wanted to offer a ceremony for the children and their families.

Stepping out and being visible in the place I was born and that I for years struggled to reconcile with my connection to as a danish Greenlander, was difficult.

So when I prepared for the ceremony in a drum journey I asked my spirits and the land for help and permission to do the ceremony. And I was brought to tears as women and men came to me in the national dress, taking my hands, smiling at me, hugging me, and welcoming me home.

Denying ourselves to be the person we are will make us sick, because identity is something we are naturally. We do not have to understand it, we just have to allow ourselves to be what and who we are.

The ceremony became a ceremony from my heart - a song of love and gratitude for this place, and all beings and forces seen and unseen on this land, that I feel so at home with, and holds such a deep love for🤍🇬🇱❤️

I am thinking about something my spirits told me many years after that I feel I need to remember more often in these times of conflict;
“It is not about the differences, it is all about the love.”

“The Umbilical Cord Ritual” is a ritual performance, inspired by old patterns from amongst others Norwegian skinfell.

Before the written language, these historical patterns held knowledge about how to be in good relation with the Land and spirits where people lived.
The patterns had old ritual and symbolic meanings dating back to pre-Christian times.
They were a visual bond of people’s lives with the land, beings and forces with whom they coexisted and that we still do, even though we may have forgotten.

Through the ritual performance, the audience is given a water pattern printed in sheep blood in their hands, with the words: “From your ancestors, through you and to those after you”, and song.

Throughout the ritual, the pattern becomes a visual cord that stretches between people in the physical space, as well as through time and space.

The Umbilical Cord Ritual is a ritual to honor the wisdom of our ancestral animist traditions. In the ritual we reinsert our community and our own souls sacred connection to water 💧

Over the years, my work with the spirits has rooted me deeply in my ancestors’ magical tradition of Seiðr.

To me, walking The Path of Seiðr is a sacred commitment to the land, our history, and our ancestors. Through the Seið-rituals, we awaken our sacred ancestral traditions, which lie quietly outside of time, waiting for us to bring the power and wisdom into our world of the living. 🤍

I am looking forward to offering a teaching course at the beautiful place at in April! 🌱

Soon is the time to sow new seeds for the year. 🌱

Perhaps you already know what you want to grow, but need guidance on how to proceed. Or perhaps you need help and insight from your guides to find the new seeds to plant? No matter where you are on your path, the doorway to spring is a good opportunity for your own ritual work in the great wheel of life, with which we are all woven together.
At the doorway to the spring, under the new moon, we will meet in the circle in community and seek the spirits’ advice and insight for our life path.

If you want to receive an invitation, you can write “Equinox” in the comment, and receive info in your inbox! ✨🌑🌱

This morning I am sitting here and writing with the dawn, contemplating and integrating the last couple of days deep and powerful work from Årshjulet and Winter Seidr. ✨

I feel a sense of deep wonder from our time in the middle of the forest, where we did an incredibly powerful community-Seidr.
Calling on our ancestors ancient ways, feeling the power of this magic tradition through, the land, staffs, songs and circle of committed strong people, still resonate deeply within.

I felt the web of life had been touched deeply, bringing something back that has been waiting in silence outside of time.

Within me it touches an essential feeling of coming back to who I am together with my ancestors and in my own time with a living community. Every time I feel the power of these ceremonies I reconnect to something my soul remembers that I didn’t know I had forgotten. It is the deep healing of a collective memory. Of opening pathways of ancestral knowledge and power that are waiting to be recognized and called back to the world of the living.

As layers of history of trauma and repression, shame and fear are moved out of the way, we can step into our own tradition with the land, and Life. 🌱

It takes a lot of work, hard work, determination, focus, bold bravery or maybe blind naivety - to birth this place. But it is here, and I am so, so grateful that it is possible for me to share this with so many other people, who feel called to the ways of our ancestors.

There is so much I do not know about the ways, so much I wished I could ask them about in my human life. But I know they are here with me and I feel their deep loving presence. I know they are here teaching me to go on, to keep learning, keep healing and keep trusting as we are finding the way together 🤍

It is done - now is the time to stay with what has come forth, and let it show the path forward.

Thank you everyone for the journey 🤍🙏
