Fika With Vicky Welcomes Guest Imelda Almqvist - April 20, 2023

Imelda Almqvist is an international teacher of Sacred Art and Seiðr/Old Norse Traditions (the ancestral wisdom teachings of Northern Europe). So far she has written four non-fiction books and three picture books for children. Natural Born Shamans: A Spiritual Toolkit for Life (Using shamanism creatively with young people of all ages) in 2016, Sacred Art: A Hollow Bone for Spirit (Where Art Meets Shamanism) in 2019, Medicine of the Imagination - Dwelling in Possibility (an impassioned plea for fearless imagination) in 2020 and North Sea Water In My Veins (The Pre-Christian spirituality of the Low Countries) was published in June 2022. Imelda is currently working on a handbook for rune magicians (about the runes of the Elder Futhark). The Green Bear is a series of picture book for children, aged 3 – 8 years. The stories and vibrant artwork, set in Scandinavia, invite children to explore enchanting parallel worlds and to keep their sense of magic alive as they grow up. Imelda has presented her work on both The Shift Network and Sounds True. She appears in a TV program, titled Ice Age Shaman, made for the Smithsonian Museum, in the series Mystic Britain, talking about Mesolithic arctic deer shamanism. Imelda has a forest school on the East Coast of Sweden, situated near rune stones, petroglyphs, stone circles and a famous grave mound. She takes her students on many field trips! She also travels a lot to teach in person in other locations. To stay engaged with her students all over the world, Imelda runs an on-line school called Pregnant Hag Teachings, where all classes she teaches remain available as recordings which can be watched any time. In 2024 Imelda will teach her first sacred art retreat in Greenland and prepare her students by teaching a webinar in basic Greenlandic! You can learn more about Imelda using the following links.
