Support the author and get exclusive content! Most of her works stem from her academic background in the historical, cultural, linguistic and religious aspects of pre-Christian Scandinavia. A Norwegian, born and bred, she writes most of her stuff in English in order to best reach an international audience. In order to earn more from her work so that she may finish book projects and make more videos and audio recordings of her books, she opened a Patreon account on Winter Solstice 2020.

• Have you been missing more videos from the Lady of the Labyrinth YouTube page?
• Are you among those who have asked me to make more lecture videos, as I did so much back in 2009-2014? Or more art-based mythology videos?
• Are you among those eagerly waiting for the next Blade Honer book?
• Are you among those who wish me to publish my books in audio or video?
• Are you among those who want to see those promised publications about Seidr, about Idunn, and about Initiation Stories, and so on?
• Would you have liked me to have more livestream lectures?
• Would you like to see recordings of live lectures/livestream lectures?
• Do you just like my work in general, such as my website/blog, my Facebook page, and want to see more articles published there?
If so, you might want to help me out by sponsoring my Patreon page so that I might get the time and energy I need to offer up all that - in great abundance!
Themes I currently plan to cover in series of talks on Patreon:
• Traditional Norwegian Folksongs – Themes, Origins and Performances • Norwegian Folklore Stories
• Stories of Seid & Magic in the Sagas • Norse Mythology Stuff
• Readings from the Ynglinga saga
• Skaldskap – Our Oldest Literary Sources to Norse Mythology
• Readings from my books (fiction and non-fiction) – like Audio Book chapters, beginning with audio recordings chapter by chapter of the whole Blade Honer series – I pledge to publish some chapters every week – the intensity of which, however, depends on how much support and interest I get.
