What makes a space sacred, and how can you create one that aligns with your Heathen practice? In this episode, I explore the history and significance of sacred spaces in Norse and Germanic traditions, from ancient vé and hörgr to modern altars and outdoor shrines. We’ll discuss different ways to establish a sacred space—whether in your home, outdoors, or on the go—and how to dedicate and maintain it.
Whether you're working with limited space, sharing a home with non-Heathens, or looking for new ways to connect with the landvættir and your ancestors, this episode will offer practical tips and inspiration. Tune in and learn how to create a space that feels truly sacred to you.
