An Ash I know named Yggdrasil

A giant tree covered in white mud

From it comes the dew that falls in the valleys

It forever stands green over the fountain of Urdur

From it comes the maidens vastly knowing

The three from the arcade underneath the tree

One is called Urdur (being), the other, Verdandi (becoming),

On the wood the carve, the third one, Skuld (been)

They lay the law they arrange the lives

Of progenies and lay down their fate

-Verse 18, the Voluspa, the prophecy of the Edda

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

“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.
