This course has been a long time in the making. It combines decades of work, both from my professional and spiritual life.

“To Guide others through Death, we must first Know Her and Walk with Her.”

Welcome to the realm of spirit and the Well of Souls. Something has drawn you here, whether it be curiosity, a lust for knowledge, a desire for connection, or perhaps even a grief that still holds you. No matter the reason, the journey is the same.

This course was developed to bring the two sides of Death Work into one cohesive structure from a Paganistic/ Anamistic perspective. Starting with the personal journey and experience of Spirit Walking, gaining real illumination and wisdom from the secrets the Spirit realm holds, and combining that with the professional knowledge and skills of a Death Doula. By blending these two side you not only become a more powerful Death Worker, but also a much needed resource in our community.

Seidr

Discover the secrets of Seidr, an art of Spirit Walking and Working, that blends aspects of shamanic and magical practices in its own unique way. Learn precise techniques and tools to navigate the world of Spirits, communicating with them, and forging powerful alliances with them. Explore the aspects of Binding and Galdring the Runes. Using the power of Voice and vibration, to create the unique songs to call the spirits forth, to send your spirit outwards, and craft a new type of magic. Through the profound understandings and practices of Seidr, you will enhance your own abilities and skills as a Death Worker.

Death D0ula

Embrace the role of a Death Doula, serving as a bridge between the living – the dying – and the dead, similar to how midwives facilitate the birthing process. This aspect of the course approaches the end-of-life journey through Paganistic and Animistic perspectives, providing comprehensive training to serve our growing and aging communities.

Drawing from my own wealth of professional experience as a CCRN/ Death Doula educator, along with spiritual insights rooted in Seidr, I will help you develop the right tools, skills, and insights necessary to be a successful Guide for those crossing over and those left behind.

Dedication

Embark on a year-long transformative journey!

This deep work demands time, patience, and focused effort as you acquire knowledge and develop essential skills. This is why it is structured as a year long course. To give you that time, to dive deeper into the lessons and allow them to become part of you. With a well-structured course outline, which you can see below, along with dedicated practice periods for skill absorption, this intensive program promises a year of personal growth and transformation.

There is a small daily practice that will take about 15 minutes to accomplish. It will require some dedicated time for it, ideally incorporated into your morning or end of the day routine.

The thing about dedication – if it is something you really want, you will make the time for it. We make time for all different aspects of our life, because it is important to us and we desire it. This undertaking is the same.

Community Building

Join an intimate and supportive community of like-minded individuals committed to this profound spiritual path, and that are going through the process with you. With limited class sizes, you will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the material, receive individual attention, and foster strong bonds with fellow participants.

Through a private Discord server, you will gain access to course materials, engage in seamless learning, and forge connections within the community.

Weekly live question and discussion forums, scheduled at alternating times to accommodate participants from various time zones, providing additional support and inspiration.

The instructor will also offer one-on-one guidance during weekly office hours or by appointment, to ensure you are getting the most out of this program.

Spirit and Deity Guides

Forge deep connections and build solid communication with different spiritual Guides.

Throughout the course you will be introduced to several specific spirit Guides, that will teach and guide you through your own journey within the course. You will meet Hel – the Goddess and Keeper of the Dead, Kari – who will teach you about the power of your Voice and the magic of the Runes, Ancestors long passed – that can aid and protect you along the journey, and discover your Flygja – a spirit already connected to you and a powerful ally within magical practices.

We will also cover other types spirit helpers along the way that you may choose to incorporate into your practices.

Tools you will need for this course:

– 2 Journals: to keep records of your personal journey and to keep notes and ideas in. This can take any form you choose. I personally recommend simple spiral notebooks for this – you can always transfer over any key information into a “pretty” one later. You can also keep digital ones, as long as they are something you will keep going back to reflect on. I have encountered many who start with a digital journal, but were less likely to go back and work with them.

– a Staff: The best staffs in my opinion are ones we go out and find in nature. Fallen branches can form into great allies. It should to be at least 2 feet long and I would recommend not any taller than yourself. You can buy one if you want, but I would recommend one that didn’t have any carvings or symbols on it. As you work through Seidr you will be creating and infusing magic into it, so the more “unfinished” the better.

– a Rune set: You could buy or make one. One of my favorite and most used sets is one that I made out of pennies – writing the Runes on with a sharpie. This tool is really determined by personal preference and budget.

– a Tarot deck: There are some specific exercises that will require a tarot deck that has a detailed guide book. For this specific work I recommend the Runic deck but it can be any that calls to you or that you have on hand, as long as the story/ meanings in the guide book are detailed (at least 1 page each).

**Edit – Adding some info:

I have been getting some good questions! Everything will be going through a private discord server. All the classes and live discussions will be recorded and housed there in order for people to view them/ review them at any point throughout the year. So if you are not able to go to a class, discussion, ritual, etc. due to scheduling/ work, you won’t miss anything. I will also be available for any one-on-one guidance/ help you may need or want as you move through this year of transformation.
