Are you interested in learning more about Norse tradition, and curious about how it can be practiced in a modern era? Do you want to meet people who share your interest, and contribute to creating magical moments?
Norse Tradition regularly hosts lectures and retreats open to everyone who is interested, which are published on our Facebook page. Participants are recommended to register well in advance, as we experience great interest and usually have capacity for a limited amount of people.
Our lectures and retreats are currently held in Norwegian, but we hope to offer events in English in the near future. Please let us know of your interest, and we will contact you as soon as something is on the horizon.

PREVIOUS EVENTS
25-27 February 2022: Norse in Nordmarka - traveling with our ancestors
Norse Tradition arranged a weekend retreat in collaboration with historian and scientist Sturla Ellingsvåg, at the Nordmarkskappell. The weekend was a dive into our ancestors world, in an attempt to understand more of today's Norway. The development of the nordic society throughout the last thousand years was discussed, both from a historical and spiritual perspective. Everything from early European fertility-region through the conquers of the indoeuropean sky-Gods, to the christening and development of a modern society were central themes of discussion. We also wandered about what happens in the crossings of tradition and an ever more globalized world.
For more information about the event, view our Facebook-event HERE.
28-30 January 2022: Vinterblot
Our first ever Vinterblot was arranged at Svarstad Lodge, just outside Tønsberg. The blot was devoted to the God-creature Tyr. Thus, the lectures of the weekend were also dedicated to how the power of Tyr was expressed in the Norse society, through law, order and justice. We also talked partly about the mystical creature Loke, an expression of the force of chaos, and an opposite to Tyr's force of law and order.

13 november 2021: Norse at Valaskjalv - Good enough as you are?
Our first lecture in Bergen, Norway, was held at the great viking-inspired pub and restaurant Valaskjalv.
The lecture "Bra nok som du er?" (Good enough as you are?) presented topics such as sexual morality, violence, gender roles, social class, queer sexuality, marriage, and hierarchy in Norse times. You can find more information about the event on Facebook by clicking here.
