First of all I would like to offer my gratitude for this space. Now, I have been practicing Druid magic for 2 years and would soon like to begin the Druid Magic Handbook. However, I have come to realise that I have a more profound connection with the Norse cosmology rather than Celtic. Despite this I would like to a) continue with ritual magic and b) work through the DMH. I have 2 questions regarding how to do this: First, is there a book on Norse inspired ceremonial magic? I have read in the heathenry thread from on ecosophia that you are working on a Norse inspired Golden Dawn book? Second, to what extent can I/does it make sense to follow the DMH using the Nordic cosmology? For example, I think it possible to: 1) use the Nordic deities for the SOP ritual 2) Scry using Norse folklore (could you please suggest a lore/source for such lore) 3) (maybe) using Norse seasonal celebrations for a Norse Wheel of Life for the circle of stones working?? 4) using the Norse seasonal stations to enchant the cauldron. The Ogham pathworking will not work if I am using runes but I think I have found a reliable source for Runic pathworking. I think the rest of the skills/workings are transferable between cosmologies. However, it is clear to see that there are some tricky adjustments and I would greatly appreciate your advice on how to attempt them, if at all. I am writing to you from the CET zone so I will not be staying for discussion, so I would like to thank you in advance for whatever answer you give.
