From Fairytale To Goddess: Frau Holle And The Scholars That Try To Reveal Her Origins

The German folkloric personage of Frau Holle has always been subject to controversy, both in the past and in the present day. The question of whether or not she is the survival of a Heathen goddess or a wild numen of later folklore rages on among scholars and Heathens alike. This is not a paper that sets out to answer this question though. Instead, this paper focuses on prior research, examining the work of scholars and the pathways they tried to illuminate.

Out of the Waters Beneath the Tree: One Potential Origin for the Seiðrworker

This paper begins with a question: Was the practice of Seiðr restricted to Viking Age Scandinavia? While the answer may seem clear cut to many, there is far from universal agreement on this issue. Scholars such as Lotte Hedeager and Leszek Slupecki have called into question both a Viking Age origin for the practice, and limitation to Scandinavia.

This paper examines this question from the perspective that Seiðr was originally a spun form of magic. From there, I look for an underlying worldview that could explain a cultural association between spinning and magic.

The Old Norse sources inform us that it was Freyja who taught the art of Seiðr to the Aesir. In this paper, I present evidence for an entire grouping of Indo-European goddesses connected with spinning, childbirth, death, and magic. Finally, I argue that Seiðr was originally the remnants of earlier cultic practices to a goddess.
