Nina nodded and took a deep breath. "I practice Seiðr, and I'm in training to become a Völva . I mentioned that the other day but I didn't explain those things. Seiðr isn't like the magic we study here. It's older, more rooted in the old ways before we relied so heavily on wands as a conduit." Nina shrugged and gestured at nothing with her hands. "It's shamanism, Völva are essentially shamans. I typically take a more ritualistic approach to my practice; I don't go looking for visions but when I was young, and I first met him, Loki advised me to look anyway."
