What does it mean to live in a world where the land, the trees, the waters, the home, and the ancestors are all alive with spirit? In this introduction to Norse Animism, we will explore the ancient worldview at the heart of Nordic spirituality — a way of living rooted in reciprocity, reverence, and relationship with the seen and unseen worlds.

This class will offer a grounded and accessible introduction to animist practice through a Norse lens. We will discuss the spirits of place, land wights, ancestral reverence, hearth traditions, sacred offerings, and the importance of cultivating respectful relationships with the natural world. We will also explore how animism differs from modern ideas of spirituality and how these ancient practices can be meaningfully integrated into contemporary life.

• Understanding the animist worldview
• Working with land, home, and nature spirits
• Ancestor connection and devotional practice
• Creating offerings and simple household rituals
• Developing spiritual awareness and reciprocity
• Ethical spirit relationships and boundaries

Begin your journey of creating a deeper understanding of how to begin walking an animist path rooted in connection, intuition, and respect for the living world around us. Whether you are completely new to Norse spirituality or seeking a more spirit-centered approach to your practice, this class offers a welcoming doorway into the old ways and the wisdom carried within the land itself.
