Troll Brev.

I'm teaching "Queering the Runes" online through the Fellowship of Fire and Ice! And tomorrow (October 18th) is the registration deadline!

Details:

Monday, October 21st at 6pm PST // 8pm CST

The sliding scale for workshops runs from $15 to $50 based on what you can best afford.

The Fellowship of Fire and Ice is a radically inclusive heathen organization that strives to provide safe spaces to learn heathenry. I am so happy to be teaching with them and honored to be among such esteemed teachers!

Workshop description:

The Elder Futhark create a beautiful system of divination, though finding good information about them can be difficult - especially for queer, progressive, modern heathens and witches. Norse mythology includes an incredible diversity of gender and sexual expression, but this has been largely excluded from books published on contemporary heathenry or runic divination. Even worse, the runes have been wrongfully co-opted by white supremacists and heathens have to actively fight against this stereotype of the rune reader. In recent years, rune readers have been reclaiming the feminine side of the runes, bringing nuance to the craft. In this talk, Siri will explore the queer qualities of the runes through understanding pre-Christian Nordic gender concepts, translating that through a simulation and simulacra, and carving from this root culture a modern future-facing divination system.

Some Resources I Want You To Have

Troll Brev. Just a few resources on heathenry + the Far Right Hello everyone - I'm writing today because now that I'm back from Mystic South I'm preparing my talk on white supremacy in heathenry for the Salem Witch Festival. Which also means that I'm looking at a bunch of different resources that I want to pass along to you in case you are also doing some research in this area. Some of these will be links directly to the resource, others will be more like a bibliography note. (And before we...
