Rev. Nora Ford
For me my spiritual journey began to unfold on my 18th birthday when I was given a set of tarot cards. Something inside me was unlocked. In the beginning, I have to admit this open doorway seemed daunting. I knew I
was standing at the edge of great change and deep wisdom. When I turned 20 I discovered the Runes. As I opened to the runes, I became more aware of voices speaking to me, voices of guides and other spiritual beings.
When I would read runes, the symbol set became less and less necessary. I found myself going into deeper and deeper states of trance during my reading sessions. When I described my practices to another seer she
said “oh you’re a seidhr worker”.
For me, the runes sing and speak wisdom of the ages. My resonance with runes led to many changes in my life, including my study of the Gods of the Northern Tradition and their magical practices. Without runes, I
might never have been able to define my oracular work. My seidhr practice comes from a very deep and whole place inside of me. When I began this work it was as if I had recovered a lost soul part. I am grateful for the mentors, disir, ancestors, Odin and Freya for helping me find seidhr.
