Seers, or Vǫlva, can be
or
who practice Seidr.They're called Seidkona (Seid-woman) or Seidmadr (Seid-man)Though,it's mainly for women to take the duties of VǫlvaFor men, it's frowned upon & they'd call them"Argr" aka worst curse word ever for Norse men...
2/12
Dr. Crawford says "the state of being unmanly is called Ergr, comes from Argr"(YouTube)Reason why Practicing Seidr is unmanly, is bc it was introduced by, Goddess Freyja, from the Vanir Gods.She took this dark magic & introduced it to Aesir God Odin, who
it..3/12
Odin is tied to the practice of Seidr, which is why men choose to also be in it. In Odin, they have a Manly Patron.But, this manly Patron, Odin, is called "args adal" aka a Pervert by Loki in Lokesenna Stanza 24.So it's a woman's magicSo who is this Vǫlva?4/12
Vǫlva- a traveler who got paid to give prophecies to person who gave her
.1 Saga describes Vǫlva's diet & attire intricately is Eiriks Saga RaudaWe are told the Vǫlva drank "'
of a young goat...theof all living creatures.. were cooked for her.'"(Crawford,YT)5/12
Diet of Vǫlva in 5/12 isn't for nothing. She WEARS what she CONSUMES.Eirkis Saga describes Vǫlva wearing "'a black hood, made of lambskin...'"(Crawford,YT) #ACValhalla:
hoodACL Community says Pelt on her shoulder might be
or
, so she consumes theirtoo?6/12
Eiriks Saga states"'She(Vǫlva) had a belt tied around herself and there was a large sack on it.. in that sack, she kept her talisments which she needed in order to make prophecies.'"(Crawford,YT) #ACValhalla #ACFacts Valka clearly has a belt & a sack to put things in7/12
Eiriks Saga continues,"'she had a blue cloak w/ a neckstring over herself & stones were set in it..'"(Crawford,YT)#AssassinsCreed
#ACFacts:
-ish dress+ Neckstring w/ stones#AssassinsCreedValhalla
is Gets VALKA SO RIGHT!
-So how does Valka practice her magic?
8/12
Magic of Seidr is"concerned w/ discerning the course of fate and working within its structure to bring about change.."Vǫlva's"intended task typically involved a prophecy,a blessing or a curse."(Norse)She helped see
what's hidden,bring good fortune,or demise9/12
Archeologist Neil Price says seiðr(Seidr)rituals are for "'divination & clairvoyance; for seeking out the hidden, both in the secrets of the mind and in physical locations...it could also be used for the opposite."(Norse)
how #ACValhalla can go
Asgard/Jotunheim..10/12
@DarbyMcDevitt says Valhalla will be a fixed story, so Saga fact
In Orvar-Odds Saga, Vǫlva prophesized Orvar will be killed by his
, he
that,buried it deep,came back home 300 yrs later,& fell on thatw/ cliff being eroded away,
bite=
. FIXED PROPHECY! (YT)11/12
