1:1 Ritual Program

is a deeply personalized and transformative experience, blending the ancient practices of Norse spirituality, personal empowerment, and holistic healing. This program offers a safe, sacred space for individuals to explore their spiritual path with guidance, tapping into ancestral wisdom, shamanic rituals, and mystical

Here is what is included :

1. Personalized Spiritual Assessment

• Initial Consultation: The program  begins with a thorough intake session where Ash assesses the individual’s current spiritual path, challenges, and goals. This session focuses on understanding the client’s intentions—whether they seek healing, guidance, empowerment, or connection with ancestral spirits.

• Soul Mapping: A deeper exploration into the client’s spiritual history and energetic imprints. Ash works with intuitive readings, astrology, or divination tools (like runes or tarot) to uncover hidden strengths and areas for growth.

2. Tailored Rituals and Practices

• Custom Ritual Creation: Based on the client’s needs, Ash creates personalized rituals for empowerment, protection, healing, or divination. These rituals would draw from Norse traditions, shamanic practices, and other spiritual methodologies tailored to the individual’s goals.

• Rituals may include offerings to the gods and ancestors, sacred circle work, and invoking spirits of nature, with special focus on the völva and the wisdom of the natural world.

• Ceremonial Guidance: Whether it’s a full moon ritual, a seasonal celebration, or an ancestral honoring practice, each ritual would be designed to help the client deepen their connection to their own intuition and the divine forces surrounding them. The client would be taught how to perform these rituals on their own to maintain a continuous spiritual practice.

3. Divination and Guidance

• Rune Readings: Ash includes personal rune readings to help the client gain clarity on their spiritual path, identify obstacles, or receive messages from the divine. The runes would serve as a key tool for insight and foresight, tapping into the mysteries of the Old Norse traditions.

• Shamanic Journeys: Depending on the client’s needs, guided shamanic journeys could be incorporated into the program. These journeys might involve meditation, drumming, or sound work to guide the client into an altered state of consciousness to connect with their spirit guides, ancestors, or receive healing from the realms beyond.

• Tarot or Oracle Readings: For additional clarity, Ash may incorporate Tarot or oracle readings, allowing for further divination and personalized guidance. These readings could be used in combination with runes or other divination tools to enhance the depth of the spiritual messages.

4. Healing and Energy Work

• Energy Clearing: If the client is experiencing emotional blockages, spiritual stagnation, or feeling out of alignment, Ash will incorporate energy clearing techniques to remove negative energy or imbalances. This could include guided meditations, breathwork, or invoking the Goddess Eir for healing.

• Shamanic Healing: Drawing from the wisdom of the völva and other shamanic traditions, Ash offes rituals for spiritual healing, such as soul retrievals, ancestral healing, or working with plant medicine (mushrooms, herbs, etc.). The healing process would be personalized to address the unique energy imbalances the client may be experiencing.

• Protection and Boundaries: A vital component of any spiritual journey is establishing healthy energetic boundaries. Ash will help the client craft protective rituals and tools to shield them from external negative influences, ensuring that their spiritual growth is nurtured in a safe and supportive space.

5. Ancestral and Nature Connection

• Honoring Ancestors: A key component of Norse spirituality is the connection with one’s ancestors. The program includes rituals designed to honor and call upon the client’s ancestors for guidance and support. This might involve ancestor altars, disir invocations, offerings of food, drink, or other symbolic gifts.

• Working with Nature Spirits: Ash will guide the client in connecting with the (vaettir) spirits of the land, such as trees, animals, or natural elements like water and fire. This could involve nature walks, visioning exercises, or practices that allow the client to tune into the subtle energies of the Earth. The focus could be on invoking the protective spirits of the forest (like the huldra) or calling upon animal guides for insight and strength.

6. Sacred Personal Rituals for Daily Practice

• Daily or Weekly Rituals: In addition to larger, ceremonial rituals, Ash will help the client create daily or weekly rituals to help them stay connected to their spiritual path. These practices could be simple but powerful, such as lighting a candle in honor of the gods, daily rune pulls, or journaling prompts to reflect on personal growth and challenges.

• Sacred Space Creation: Guidance on how to create a sacred space in the client’s home or environment for ritual, meditation, and spiritual connection. This could include advice on how to set up an altar, which items (stones, candles, herbs, runes) to include, and how to consecrate the space for spiritual work.

7. Self-Empowerment and Intuition Development

• Developing Intuitive Skills: The program includes guidance on enhancing the client’s natural intuitive abilities. This might involve learning how to trust gut feelings, tuning into spirit messages, and honing psychic abilities such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, or channeling.

• Personal Empowerment Practices: Ash helps the client cultivate confidence and spiritual empowerment, teaching them how to stand in their own wisdom and personal power. This could include affirmations, visualization practices, or developing a personal ritual for self-empowerment.

• Inner Healing and Shadow Work: Acknowledging and integrating one’s shadow self is a key part of personal growth in spiritual practices. Ash offers tools for shadow work, helping the client to confront and heal deep-seated fears, limiting beliefs, or unresolved emotional wounds.

8. Follow-Up and Ongoing Support

• Check-In Sessions: After the initial deep-dive ritual work, follow-up sessions would ensure that the client is integrating the practices and receiving the guidance they need. These sessions could be used to refine rituals, troubleshoot any challenges, or offer additional support as the client progresses on their spiritual journey.

• Continued Growth: Ash offers a support system for continued spiritual growth, such as providing access to a private online community, offering ongoing mentorship, or additional resources like workshops or mini-courses.

9. Sacred Tools and Resources

• Sacred Tools for Ritual: Throughout the program, Ash provides the client with sacred tools to enhance their rituals. These might include hand-made items like candles, incense, runes, as well as personalized journals or online guides.

• Custom Ritual Kits: A special package of herbs, mushroom oil, essential oils, candles, and other ritual items will be created to align with the client’s needs, such as for protection, healing, or empowerment.

The 1:1 Ritual Program with Ash is a deeply transformative and holistic spiritual experience, combining personal empowerment, ancestral connection, and ancient practices. Through tailored rituals, divination, energy work, and deep spiritual guidance, the client would gain clarity, healing, and strength, reconnecting with their inner wisdom and aligning with the divine forces of nature. This program not only helps the individual deepen their spiritual journey but also empowers them to create lasting change and growth in their life.

Custom Bindrune: A bindrune is the creation of an intentional symbol weaving runes in a linear or stacked form. This unique symbol can then be activated with chanting runic names (galdr), invocation to birth intent, carving the symbol into wood, painting onto cloth/hide or tattooing.

My first bindrune was made when I visited Iceland. A vitki (sorcerer/magician) carved the symbol into a piece of elk bone and tied it to a leather cord, to be worn as a necklace. While studying Norse pagan practices, my mentor showed me how to chant the names of the runes and weave them with sound before drawing or pulling them into physical form. She told me that vibration is the first gate of working with the runes.

Speak their name, sit quiet, ask them for the best ways to weave them. She said that the runes are ancient beings that cannot be “used”, they interact, assist and help integrate wisdom that innately exists in the beholder.

A digital file is included with your bindrune

Runic Ritual Program: Galdr chants, created invocations and suggestions on altar creation based on your intention.

“I recently completed 1:1 Mentoring with Ash. It was clear from the very beginning, that she was not only knowledgeable but lived and breathed the Runa! She is a great mentor and communicates clearly and patiently. Most of all, she is humble and is willing to impart her knowledge with generosity and grace. Ash is a great mentor, one I highly recommend!”

Dana Clemens

“Ritual was my gift to myself after moving to a new country and leaving everything I owned behind. I started fresh, unhindered. Last year I connected with Ash’s work with animal bones and heathenry. Through our work together, I have breathed the sacred and profundity back into my daily life. I also manifested a job offer and reconnected with my dad. I am beyond grateful for this new way I show up in this precious life. We have built a relationship of trust, can’t wait for what I plan on birthing next. I am wealth, in all its forms!!”

“A huge “THANK YOU” to you!! The work you’re doing bringing people together so they know they are not alone in their struggles with grief is such a special gift. I appreciate it so much, from deep in my heart. So thank you thank you thank you!”

-Jennika Bergeron (Sacred Work of Grief course)

“I have just finished the course on Intro to Norse Magick done by Essence of Ash. We did Elder Futhark, Bindrunes, Staves, Rituals and Ceremony and the practice of Seidr. Ash helped me understand the meaning and the magic of the runes. Ash had a great presentation of us each week. Everything I have learned from her course has helped me in my practice. I highly recommend Ash’s courses. Ash is a wonderful teacher and person.”

@mertens.rhonda (Intro to Norse Magick course)

“Ash’s Sacred Work of Grief provided an introduction and framework for me to acknowledge and understand the complicated nature of grief. She is well-versed, knowledgeable, and approaches the material with a tender heart… full of kindness, compassion, and honesty. We even shared a few laughs despite the solemn nature of the work. Not only did she bring awareness to us, but she sat with us and shared her own grief… an encouraging example of authenticity! I am grateful to have witnessed and to witness the handful of amazing people in our group! Thank you, Ash! It was an awesome few weeks to share with you & everyone else!”

  • I completed the 1:1 Ritual with Ash in February 2022. I recently came out of a divorce and was feeling completely disconnected from myself. I was desperately searching for embodiment practices and wanted to play around with talismanic magic. During and after our time together, I stepped back into the river of my life, and back into alignment with my power. My voice is clearer and stronger than ever before and I have experienced some incredible shifts in my finances. I have also done her Rune Oracle Mentorship and gone to her for tarot readings. I highly recommend working with her!

  • This course was very informative and very thorough but not at all in an overwhelming sense. Ash’s deliverance is humble but heartfelt, her connection to the runes is so prominent that it creates a sense of belonging to those she is speaking to. She is an amazing mentor for those seeking guidance down their path into Norse Magic and bindrunes.

  • Ash took care of dad for 3 solid months while he was failing badly. Our family relied on her to take him to appointments, pick up medication and be a companion when we were not able to be there. This difficult transition was made much smoother with her presence and kindness. Our family is thankful we found her for end of life support as well as the other hospice team members. Dad was lucky to have her.
