“Dear Martina - I am deeply grateful to you for guiding me so confidently and lovingly into the world of Seiðr. As you know, the day was very challenging for me: First finding my own voice and then taking the Völva high seat. I was ashamed, didn't trust myself to do it and had a hundred thousand other voices in my ear, in addition to my own disapproving voice, telling me that it wasn't my place to take on this role. With your patient guidance and the support of the others in our group, I realized that it is not just me who carries these hurts and hears these voices, but that it is a collective legacy of all women: for centuries we have been subjugated, belittled and subordinated to men because we were afraid of female power. Even though it was a big struggle, I managed to overcome it and express my voice. I was surprised at how good it felt and how much strength it gave me. Being the seer myself was another huge step, but when I finally sat on the Völva seat and held my staff, I felt the power. I grew roots and branches, I connected with earth and sky, became the world tree itself and one with everything. I was surprised at how easy the journey was and how easily the information came to me. Although it was the first time, it was as if I had always done this. I realized that it is my right to take this place and live my magic. Even in everyday life. Thank you so much for this valuable experience! I'm looking forward to the next time!”
