The title of my talk is ”Maiden mythology in Norse society” I’m speaking about the role that a godess, giantess or Valkyries played in Norse society when it comes to initiating kings or warriors. I’m exploring the purpose of initiations called ”sacred marriage” and the esoterica behind ”finding a spirit spouse”. The great psychologist Carl Jung have greatly contributed to our understanding of the unconscious influence of the archetypes, I’m speaking about this as well as the process of how we become more self-aware, and how we integrate the shadow self of our psyche. The knowledge about this process could aid the Aristos in the adventure of forming ”nobility of character”.I’m mentioning the greatest archeological findings in Scandinavia since Viking age as well as a historical event from the last pagan temple of Uppsala. Lastley I’m speaking about the halls of initiation, Valhöll and Folkäng and Norse divination “art of Sejdr and Galdr” and the mediators of the ceremonies; the Gydjas, the Völvas, the Valas.
