The Norse Mountain of Healing
A Three-Part ShamanPortal Wisdom Webinar
With Forest Witch Imelda Almqvist
08 September - 03 November 2026

People often assume that the Northern or Old Norse traditions are primarily concerned with male gods and heroes. Yet beneath the surface lies a rich and mysterious realm of feminine power.

At the heart of Norse cosmology stands Lyfjaberg, the Mountain of Healing, where the mysterious goddess Menglöð resides alongside her Nine Maidens, also known as the Nine Disir, powerful healers and compassionate ancestral feminine beings, each associated with their own gifts and specialisms.

The ancient Old Norse poem Fjölsvinnsmál, found in the Poetic Edda, tells of this extraordinary spiritual pilgrimage to the Mountain of Healing in search of healing and wholeness, especially for women who have run out of options and seek the mountain as a final resort. Climbing this sacred mountain can bring profound healing miracles, no matter how ill or "dis-eased" a person may be.

In this three-part online webinar series, Shamans Directory Ambassador, Teacher, Author, and Artist, Imelda Almqvist, hosted by Christian Thurow, will introduce participants to three of the Nine Maidens in each class. Together, you will explore their stories, healing qualities, and practical ways of beginning a relationship and apprenticeship with these powerful feminine beings.

Participants who feel called to continue may receive guidance for developing a longer-term relationship with these sacred healers.

All sessions will be recorded and available to ticket holders until 31 December 2026.
