Dear followers! I am trying to make a living from my work, and like any freelancer, I need sponsoring. Abundant gifts of entertaining education will be given in return. On my Patreon you will be able to watch in video format or listen in RSS feed, all the lectures and audio book readings of the “LadyoftheLabyrinth”; The Seed of Yggdrasill, The Maiden with the Mead, The Goddess Idunn in Poetry and Myth, the Blade Honer series, the Patreon lecture series that gave rise to the book “The Great Knowledge – Fjǫlkyngi - Stories of Seiðr and initiation”, and a new series called “Deep Diving into Edda Poems with Maria Kvilhaug”, so far featuring the Grógaldr, the Fjǫlsvinnsmál, the Hyndluljóð, and the Poems of Helgi Hiǫrvarðsson and Helgi Hundingsbani, where I go through translations and interpretations, cultural contexts, and apply the techniques of solving poetical riddles that I explained in The Seed of Yggdrasill.
