Olof is a Vitki, Seiðrman, healer, and artist. He grew up close to nature on Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea. The many sacred sites and living folklore of the island gave him a profound connection to the footprints of his ancestors. For over thirteen years he has worked with the Nordic Wisdom Tradition in a way that is animist, shamanic, and rooted in the soil beneath our feet. In Sweden, he facilitates a two-year training which takes people on the path of the Vitki/Völva. He has also created a temple in the south of Sweden called Lyfjaberg: sanctity of Menglöd, dedicated to the healing aspect of Freyja. His work has a strong emphasis on honouring and communicating with the land that is our Earth Mother. Olof is also a painter, dancer and singer, bringing creative and embodied energy into his teachings. In Sweden, he received spiritual training with a Priestess of Avalon, which gave him a deep connection to Goddess and a call to the sacred lands of Avalon. After many pilgrimages to the Sacred Isle throughout the years, he returned to Avalon to pursue the Soul Healing training with Kathy Jones, a journey that deepened his relationship to the Sacred Isle.
