Northern European Magic, Ecstatic Trance & Shamanism

This immersive 9-month Seidr Practitioner Training is not simply a course in Northern magic.

It is a deep initiation into Seidr: the ecstatic, shamanic and spirit-working tradition of Northern Europe.

Across 22 live sessions, you will learn to journey between worlds, communicate with spirits, ancestors and Gods, and work with trance, divination, healing, protection, shapeshifting, dreamwork, ritual, elemental magic and wyrd.

But Seidr is about more than learning techniques.

It is about developing a spiritual foundation strong enough to stand upon for the rest of your life.

You will learn how to safely enter the unseen, develop discernment, deepen your relationship with the land and spirit world, and become increasingly self-sufficient in your own spiritual practice.

The deeper result is spiritual sovereignty.

To know where you stand, what lineage you serve, to trust your relationship with the unseen, and to carry spiritual power with discernment, responsibility and integrity.

My intention is not to create students who remain dependent upon a teacher, or people collecting another spiritual title or modality.

I train practitioners capable of standing on their own two feet before the Gods and spirits.

People who can listen, discern, serve the Divine Powers, and understand that the deeper you enter into magic, the greater your responsibility becomes.

Whether you are reconnecting with the Northern European ancestral traditions or feel called to this path through spirit and soul, this work requires reverence, discipline and devotion.

This is a path of return — to the land, the Gods, the unseen, and ultimately to knowing who you are, where you belong, and what you came here to carry.

WHAT SEIDR ACTUALLY GIVES YOU

You may enter this training wanting to learn journeying, divination, spirit communication or Northern magic. But the deeper result is something far greater.

You develop a spiritual foundation. You learn how to approach the unseen with discernment rather than fantasy.
You build relationship with the land, the ancestors, the Gods and the spirits around you.
You begin discovering where you belong within the greater spiritual landscape and what you are actually being asked to serve.
You become less dependent upon other people to tell you what to believe because you have practices through which you can listen, experience, discern and develop your own relationship with the sacred.

And as your spiritual ability increases, so does your responsibility.

Because Seidr is not ultimately about acquiring power so that you can get everything you want.
It is about becoming someone capable of carrying power with integrity.

Someone the spirits can trust, someone willing to listen, someone willing to serve. Someone who remembers that the land is alive.
Someone capable of becoming a keeper of our ancestral Northern tradition.

That is the practitioner I am interested in training.

FAQs

This is an online training - but includes a 3-day in-person immersion, where you can meet the rest of the tribe, commune with sacred sites in the south west of the UK and be in Seidr ceremony together.
We will meet 2-3 times a month which will give you plenty of time for integration, practice and learning. Sessions will range around 2 hours each (give or take depending upon the class, practices, guided journeys and sharing circle).
Yes, all classes and Zoom lives will be recorded so you can watch the replays at your convenience and there will be plenty of bonus video, Q&A content and practices for you to do outside of class.
Yes! Everyone is welcome to apply.
No, but you're welcome to get your own set if you feel called.
I will go over sacred tools throughout the training, but it is not necessary to get any extras.
If anything, what is most important is Mugwort to purify yourself but I will send an email out before the commencement date with some basic items (like Mugwort) which would be good to have (but again, optional).
No. Throughout the training you will build the solid foundation that you need.
The Northern Priestess Path is open to all women of Northern ancestry. There is no vetting, because these rites and wisdom were once the shared birthright of both the husfreya (the woman of the home) and the temple priestess. Its focus is on the sacred roles, seasonal rites, and spiritual leadership that once wove through daily life.
The 9-month SEIDR Practitioner Training goes further. It includes the foundations of the Northern Priestess Path but expands into the deeper magical practices and shamanic tradition of Seidr. This path is by vetting only, as it works with potent magic that must be safeguarded, and Freya herself has the final say on who may enter.

I teach Seidr as a closed practice, in accordance with Freya and the Gods.
Everyone is vetted before entering this path.
This protects the integrity of the lineage and ensures Seidr is passed on with reverence, alignment and responsibility.

Student Testimonials

“Over the last nine months, this training has become so much more than a course to me. It has been a journey of healing, self-discovery, and transformation that has touched every part of my life.
When I began, I was in one of the darkest places I had ever experienced. I was struggling with a deep depression that left me feeling disconnected from myself, my spirituality, and the world around me. Most days, I only left my bed because I had to go to work. I felt like I had lost who I was.
Through this journey, something slowly began to change.
Week by week, I found myself reconnecting with my spirit. I learned to trust my intuition again, to sit with silence instead of fearing it, and to build relationships with my allies and the unseen world in ways I never thought possible. Rather than simply learning about Seiðr, I was living it. Every lesson became another step toward finding myself again.
One of the most profound moments of the entire journey was discovering my soul rune. It wasn’t just an interesting exercise or another lesson. It felt like finding a missing piece of myself. It gave language to parts of my spirit I had always sensed but never fully understood. It deepened my understanding of who I am and strengthened my confidence in the path I am walking.
This training has changed me mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Mentally, it helped lift me from a place I wasn’t sure I would ever escape. It gave me hope, purpose, and something meaningful to look forward to each week. Spiritually, it deepened my practice beyond anything I expected, teaching me not only techniques but also how to cultivate trust, patience, and genuine relationships with the spirits and allies who walk beside me.
Even physically, I began to notice changes. As my spirit healed, so did my motivation and my energy. I started engaging with life again instead of simply surviving it. The practices became part of my daily rhythm, grounding me and giving me a sense of peace I hadn’t felt in a very long time.
What makes this training truly special isn’t just the incredible amount of knowledge that Xiomara shares. It’s the way she creates a safe, welcoming space where every student is encouraged to grow in their own authentic way. There is no pressure to become someone else. Instead, you’re gently guided toward becoming more fully yourself.
The community we built during the Zoom gatherings became another unexpected gift. Connecting with people from around the world, sharing experiences, learning together, and supporting one another reminded me that spirituality doesn’t have to be a solitary path. Those connections became just as meaningful as the teachings themselves.
Looking back over these nine months, I can honestly say I am not the same person who enrolled. I am stronger. More confident. More grounded. More connected to myself, my allies, and my spiritual path than I have ever been before.
I will always be grateful that I said yes to this journey. It gave me far more than knowledge. It gave me myself back.” — Ariel (Seidr PT 2.0)
“I would highly recommend this training to others who are interested in deepening their connection with the magic of the Old Norse tradition because Xiomara delivers it in a way that is both comprehensive in studies and personal experiences but also in application to modern times. This is a living art, and it requires attention to this type of detail. Theory and practice. Heritage and applied innovation. You will leave this experience with a much deeper understanding of your own connection to this work. Working with Xiomara has been incredibly life changing. I was first drawn to her because I saw a woman who was living by her practice, and inside the Seidr Practitioner Training that's exactly what you get! Not only was this experience based on a variety of cited sources and references, it was also guided in a heartfelt way from a woman who is truly passionate about rekindling this magic at this time. We discussed the most intimate things in such an empowering way that I am certain I've changed on a cellular level from this experience; memories were restored and connection with my past has become undeniable. Having grown up with quite a severed connection with my cultural heritage this was monumental for me. My path crossed with Xiomara after I had my own 5 year initiation with the runes, and what I can definitely say is that Xiomara is doing for Seidr what Diana Paxon did for the runes. You want to be in at the ground level before this goes into book form. You want to be part of the growth.” — Jessica (USA)
“My admiration for Xiomara started when she started to show up because I followed her since a long while back already. She suddenly started to share her knowledge and experiences and I was mesmerised- everything she talked about resonated deeply with my soul. I was drawn in so naturally and after completing the Seidr training I fully understood why. I don’t doubt myself anymore since I found this path and everyday my path unfolds and my spirituality strengthens. What she shared with us was an initiation into a very broad spectrum of magic & shamanism under the umberella of Seidr. She is very well educated on all of these topics that belong to Seidr & she has a lot of experience practicing & living what she teaches. So her embodiment was felt and it was very reassuring and refreshing to feel the way she lives our ancient tradition in these modern times. I’ve fully embraced nature as my spiritual path and I am way more clear, sovereign and embodied in a way I wasn’t able before I was on this path. I’ve come home. She knows her trade well and I trust her because she’s devoted to this path for the good and it shows through how she teaches and talks. I recommend her work 100%. What a gift to the world she is!” — Djaja (ES)
“Xiomara is embodied magic. It shows in her commitment, her excitement, and the presence she brought to our group. It’s as if she’s been lifted straight from another time and is fully expressing it in ours. Spiritual teachers are often put on pedestals, hidden behind masks—but Xiomara is shamelessly herself: open, authentic, sweet, witty, wise, and deeply human… all while carrying abilities that go far beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.” — Liisa (NO)
“The Seidr course called me from deep within my bones and I am beyond grateful that I followed. Xiomara gently and with great clarity guided me back home - back to my body, my bones, my ancestral roots, my medicine, my remembrance, my integrity and reciprocal way of being. After years of wandering from one spriritual practice to the next, I've finally arrived at a practice that my cells remember. Xiomara held the space with great warmth and deep-felt integrity. From the basics of protection to shamanic journeying to immediately successful astral projection, I learned so much. Months later I am still integrating the wisdom that is surely informing my practice for the rest of my life. If you feel an unexplainable call to work with Xiomara, I encourage you to trust and follow the call. I cannot recommend her work enough. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!” — Mona (DE)
“The Seidr Practitioner Training with Xiomara felt like a real door opening within me. It brought me home to my ancestors and the nature within myself, and connected me to the nature all around me also. It brought community, and fed my need for connection to tradition, while still allowing me to build my own tradition in today's modern world. Truly transformative - if you feel the call, listen to it.” — Jessica (USA)
“The seidr group and immersion was a deeply meaningful experience that strengthened my connection to spirit, ancestry, and personal power. The combination of sacred space creation, journeying, and personal power elements gave me tools I now use regularly in my practice. I’m grateful for the supportive community and the space to grow in my spiritual path.” — Christi (USA)
“The SEIDR training has been truly life-changing and eye-opening, transforming my spiritual journey in remarkable ways.
Xiomara did a fantastic job of teaching such a complex and ancient art of shamanism in a way that is structured, clear, and easy to follow. She is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to SEIDR, and you can feel her passion for this path radiating even through the computer screen.
This training has opened many doors for me, and I am deeply grateful to have experienced it.
Thank you, Xiomara, for everything!” — Tamalynne (AT)
