Völvas practiced seiðr, spá and galdr, practices which encompassed shamanism, sorcery, prophecy and other forms of indigenous magic. Seiðr in particular had connotations of ergi (unmanliness), although there were male practitioners.
These are very interesting female shamans in the Tuetonic tradition and Just curious if anyone is or deals with Volvas?
Ciao, vladstick
well if they were from a strict Teutonic background that kinda limits the potential for practitioners

Perhaps if you elaborate more on the topic it will bring up a discussion. :)
It is the Norse eq. of a witch,sorceress or shaman of the female gender.
