Who am I
I’m originally from a town called Lycksele i northern Sweden and I moved to Norway in 1999.
I’ve been practicing openly as a witch since I started, back in 1994. The label I place on myself nowadays is Vísenda (Wise Woman), it isn’t easily explained, but as a fast explanation you could say that I’m in the ‘hedge’ category (I pick and choose what I like, regardless of religion and tradition), but my roots are firmly in the Norse tradition. At the moment, I’m researching seiðr, galðr and other forms of Norse magic. With the aim of one day being experienced enough that I think I deserve the title of Völva. And that’s a long way away.
I’m not Wicca, nor do I belong to any other religion. Don’t get me wrong, I do respect those who have chosen to do so. I’m more of a heathen than anything else, and I’ve chosen to follow the old Scandinavian ways, but in my own, modernized way. Many think of the Norse ways as a religion, but it isn’t, it’s a tradition (sed).
More About Me
I'm a multi-creative heathen witch. That's probably the beest way to put it

A group for any who find or practice in/with or just love the night/moon. Any and all are welcome whether they have walked the dark paths or are just curious. Mind you, darkness has a negative connotation and that is something I would like to change. Come and share, ask questions and learn with us as we blow the candle out and begin (or continue) our journey of discovery.
This group is for anyone who loves being in the kitchen! Kitchen witches, foodies, chefs, or novices, whether mundane or magickal! Recipe swap.. favs and seasonal, techniques, tips, how tos....share them here!
Ok. To further explain what I mean: Is there a path where it's always OK to do what ever you want, regardless of who you harm? Where it's common to attack people through magic.

I'm totally on board with following one's own code of conduct. I've also lived in several places, but I don't adjust myself to others. I have my own set of rules. I'm not in the group I describe above.
Which Pagan group would you say are the worst of the worst when it comes to so called "black" magic? Personally I don't believe there is any black or white when it comes to magic. It's the intent behind the magic which sets the tone.
But a friend... moreWhich Pagan group would you say are the worst of the worst when it comes to so called "black" magic? Personally I don't believe there is any black or white when it comes to magic. It's the intent behind the magic which sets the tone.
But a friend of mine is working on something, and needs to find out. She wants to know if there are groups who practice without the normal moral code, without any "you shouldn't do that" or "that's dangerous" rules. Who prefer working in the dark, without protection by a circle etc. less

Thansk, both of you. I'm rarely on G+ these days too. I find I have enough to keep my hands busy without another social media place where little happens.

Me too. Twitter and PP take up all my chatting time these days. They are both so busy it's all I can handle. But I'm thrilled you're here so we won't lose touch. Love you!!! ~bighug~

Facebook and Twitter steal my chatting time. I've also found a new friend who talks a lot on GTalk. I've decided to weed out the social media that don't bring me any links at all, so I'm quitting MySpace, for one.
NyxDarkSky: Hi Sweet Heart, wanted to stop by and let you know your web site store "Heksebua" banner has been added to The Witches' Hour Magazine Spring Issue #4 coming out March 31, 2012... *Hugs*
svehex commented on svehex's video: I seem to be missing a few of the comments here. I've gotten messages about three I can't see, even if I click on View more comments.
NyxDarkSky
We are still working on the setting limits... There should not be a limit on how many video's you can upload, or how many video albums you can create..

Thanks :) It seemed to stop at 20. I added ten the first time, and ten this time. I'll do smaller portions in the future, as you suggested.

NyxDarkSky: Popped over to your profile to get your YouTube lin and noticed some of your links come up page not found... You have to add the whole YouTube profile link, same with Myspace and Witchbook.. Everything else worked fine..
svehex commented on svehex's video: I use the same user name there as here: <a href="http://youtube.com/svehex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://youtube.com/svehex</a>
This is a very short and simple instructional for Naalebinding. I am aware that I'm doing it backwards compared to the other instructions out there, but this way makes it easier for me, so I thought I'd share it.
My first witchy finds video. The shops I mention are:
http://www.loiten-lys.no (Løiten Lys)
http://www.nille.no (Nille)
http://webshop.reinaas.no (Zimitirik)
My favorite deck at the moment is the Vikings Tarot. I connect a lot better to this one than my Rider-Waite, so the results are a lot better. I made this video to demonstrate captions and soundtracks as well as a comment to the question.

Good Afternoon svehex, Welcome back to Pagan-Place... How have you been doing? Brightest Blessings to you for a Fantastic Day filled with Love, Laughter and Happiness.. xoxo
