XIOMARA CRYSTAL

Growing up in a trilingual household—English, German, and Portuguese—I was always attuned to the subtleties of culture, music, and language. While music was my first love, a quieter, deeper pull stirred beneath the surface: the mysteries of the unseen, the spirit world, and the old magic of the earth.

From the age of 3, I experienced lucid dreams, out-of-body travel, and spirit encounters with the dead—moments that awakened me, frightened me, and eventually shaped me.

For years, I pushed these experiences aside. Without guidance, the unknown became something to fear. But the mysteries have a way of returning, and when they did, I met them with new eyes—no longer a girl afraid of the dark, but a woman called to walk within it with purpose.

My path took form through years of occult study, breathwork, folk magic, kundalini awakening, and re-immersion in dreamwork. But the turning point came when I moved to Avalon (Glastonbury)—a land steeped in myth, where I deepened my connection with the Otherworld and the ancient spirits of the land. There, the threads of my past and purpose began to weave together.

It was Freya Vanadis—Great Goddess of the Northern lands—who illuminated the path ahead. Through her, I remembered who I am. She is not just a presence in my life; she is the flame at the center of it. It is through Freya that I discovered my soul’s mission: to walk the path of the Seidkona and guide others who feel her call.
I now serve as a Priestess of the Northern Path, devoted to reviving the living tradition of Seidr and helping women awaken the ancestral magic that lies dormant within.

I have trained for years as a Rune Vitka under Tim Raven, grounding my work in the spiritual technologies of our Northern European ancestors. I carry their legacy in my blood—and quite literally on my skin. Tattooed on my body is a verse from the Völuspá, a sacred reminder of my vow to bring a New Seidr into this world: one that speaks to our time, without diluting the power of its roots.

I have also come to know, with unwavering certainty, that power runs through every woman, especially those of Northern European descent. This power is a inheritance—woven through your bloodline and bound to the land. It is a wild ecstatic magic that lies dormant within you, waiting to be reawakened. A legacy of strength, wisdom, and primal magic, handed down through generations of women who walked in union with the earth, the gods and disir, and their own sacred feminine power.

This understanding didn’t come easily. My own journey began in solitude, uncovering forgotten ancestral knowledge, reconnecting to the land, and weaving my soul with the practices of Seidr. What I discovered was more than a connection to the divine—it was a power that is as old as the earth itself, a power that resides within every woman, every cell of our being.

I am not here to offer you another “spiritual” course. This is not some fleeting taste of magic. What I offer is to help you return to your roots, to the sacred lineage of the Northern lands. This is a rebirth of what has long been forgotten, now revived.
