​About ​

Thank you for visiting my site. I hope the below information gives you an understanding of my work and path.

 

I am a teacher, folklorist, and traditional healer with a decade of experience and training. I am a lineage holder in the Trolldom tradition. Trolldom is the practice of Scandinavian folk magic and folk wisdom. After training with my mentor, Johannes Gårdbäck, to become a professional practitioner, I then worked to become a teacher of the Trolldom tradition under his guidance. I now specialize in working with plants and teaching about the old ways.

​

In addition to my training in Scandinavian folkways, I have been trained in mediumship, spirit work, plant work, trance, and Christian wisdom traditions. I have had many wonderful teachers over the years, all of whom have been integral to my growth as a practitioner and teacher.

 

I have been encouraged by my mentors to share my gifts and experience with others, this is the basis on which The Nine Winds was created. ​I have found that working within traditional systems has brought thriving and growth to my own life and I am passionate about introducing these ways to others. I find that people who are often drawn to my work have similar life paths and goals, like wanting to heal trauma or have a desire to work with plants and ancestral traditions. 

​

​I have contributed to the tradition through my research in folk archives at UW-Madison Libraries. This research informs my lectures and writings on traditional folk magic.
