Andreas Kornevall was recently a guest on the Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast with Jo-Hickey Hall. In the episode they dive deep into the image of the dragon, and its embodiment of wisdom. Andreas and Jo speak of rituals of reconciliation, and connecting with the spirits of the land, a powerful conversation.
Also Andreas has new and limited places available for his personal 9 month mentorship programme in the Autumn season, 2024.
This mentorship is an in-depth exploration of Norse mythology and esoteric knowledge exploring Norse mythology, storytelling, esoteric rune wisdom, ceremonial practices and also virtual visits to sacred sites in Scandinavia.
Andreas will be on sacred sites in the early spring of 2025 some which will be shared here on the Substack.
For interest, please inquire directly to: mythandstories@gmail.com - to receive full information.
Lastly:
Chaise is launching a new course in collaboration with the School of Mythopoetics. Skaldskapr. The course is set to start October 6th, with an info session Saturday 9/28 at 11 AM pacific for those looking for more information. All info at the link below.
In this course, we will explore the crossroad between the arts of the Storyteller and the Sorcerer. We will hone our poetic magical power, a skill that bridges the gap between enchanting storytelling and working practical magic.
We will dive deep into the word-magic of stories that conjure, and the practices that are hidden away in every story that we encounter. We will unlock our listening, go beyond consumption, and tune ourselves to the practices and provocations of the Old Stories.
We will dig up the old bones of practical arts secreted within a selection of Old Stories. The stories offer easy and simple practices for working with ancestral spirits, gaining fairy-touched blades, becoming a conduit for the chthonic music, and becoming a skilled reader of the Language of the Earth. Pulling out these practical arts will ask us move from an armchair mythopoetic approach to a living embodiment and engagement. In this move, every action is empowered with the weight and depth of story as it calls us into living a life infused with touches of the mythic.
If you long to go beyond the mythopoetic and traverse into the realms of embodied magic this course may be calling your name.
