The APT in Glasgow

The Association of Polytheist Traditions are holding another 1-day conference.

Landscape, Spirit, Deity

Saturday 8th November
1-5 pm
Unitarian Church

Speakers to include

• Potia - The Cailleach and my relationship with Her
• Alexa Duir - An Honouring of Rivers
• Jenny Blain - Finding Ancestors in the local landscape
• Malcolm Campbell - Outsiders - how echoes of northern shamanism survived in Scotland
  
  Malcolm is our guest speaker. He is looking at hints of Scandanavian shamanic traditions which can be found in Scottish culture and folklore - from a personal experiential perspective. He says the theme of the talk will be about how those who are a bit "different" are always outsiders in Scotland.. and how these things survive in a militantly christian environment.. He adds, 'I'll talk about the Norsemen in Gaelic Scotland, and traditions and language I've personally come across.. second sight, frithing, words like warlock, argi, .. and what it means to someone trying to explore seidr in Scotland today.'

The image on this page shows a small part of the Glasgow Eastern Necropolis: now in some disrepair, still holding the bones of many of Jenny's ancestors, just as the neighbouring area of the Forge (now a vast shopping and retail centre) still holds their memories. (Click image for a larger picture.)
