Heill the list,
I am pleased to inform the list that there is another new work out there recently completed by practising Dutch Vala Linda Wormhoudt. I intend to do a review of this work as soon as I get my first draft copy which I will be posting as soon as I am able to. Publication runs will begin in January 2010 as far as I am aware.

Chapter 1 The Vala
Chapter 2 The History of Scandinavia
Chapter 3 Gods and Goddesses
Chapter 4 The Norns
Chapter 5 The Dark side of seidr
Chapter 6 Death Cults
Chapter 7 Working with the dead here and now
Chapter 8 Dodenwegen.. traces of deathpaths in the landscape
Chapter 9 Burrialmounts...utiseti
Chapter 10 Galdur
Chapter 11 Seidr and healing
Chapter 12 Landwights
Chapter 13 The Oracle....high seat,different methods of seering
Chapter 14 Hedge Riders
Chapter 15 The magical objects of the Vala

Over 400 pages to date pending finalisation,this IMO really needs to be translated into English also. It includes in most chapters historical as well as her personal workings which I am sure may upset some trad folks out there.I am having a personal signed copy in her Dutch edition. Linda is one of the very few Europeans female seidurs that is actively teaching her art to students and as I understand it, book two is already in the pipeline.

    To bad its not in German, because then I would at least have a shot at translating it.

      Linda is currently working towards completing an English translation of her seidr book. She says : Building bridges'.......I would like to invite people who are interested in Northwest European spirituality, seiðr, Sami spirituality, the ancient Finnic traditions and more to make contact. Every branch of this European spiritual tree has its own original magic, wisdom and knowledge. Blending spiritual ways is not my aim: every path has its beauty. It does not matter if your interest is mainly scientific or not, together we could create more insight in the ways of the ancients, and how to integrate this in our current world.

      Mastered by impulsive desire,
      By a mighty inward urging,
      I am ready now for singing,
      Ready to begin the chanting
      Of our nation's ancient folk-song
      Handed down from by-gone ages.
      In my mouth the words are melting,
      From my lips the tones are gliding,
      From my tongue they wish to hasten;
      When my willing teeth are parted,
      When my ready mouth is opened,
      Songs of ancient wit and wisdom
      Hasten from me not unwilling.

      Kalevala, Finland
