Courses and Workshops

Evening or day workshops in Norse Mythology

Evenings or days to explore the rituals and initiations that are found within Norse Myths and Culture.  We will hear about the significance of the runes told through the Norse Creation Myth and the story that lies at the very heart of Norse Mythology: the Birth of Wisdom.

​

This is a course that I have led in collaboration with the Clophill Shamanic Centre, College of Psychic Studies, the Psychadelic Society, Christ Church University, The Wyrd School (working alongside novelist Paul Kingsnorth) and with the Hedge School (working alongside Mythologist Dr. Sharon Blackie.)

​

Creation myths are the most important of all myths in tribal societies as within them reside the essential rituals or ceremonies of the people that told them.  Through hearing the Norse creation myth we can begin to understand the rich traditions and ceremonies of Northern Europe.  

I will also link the runes to the creation myth, and show how each sequence of the creation myth have a corresponding rune symbol.  Much of the sources for this course comes from runologist and symbolist poet Professor Sigurd Agrell (16 January 1881 – 19 April 1937).

​

Much of this material presented in the workshop has never been translated into English.

Reviews:

​

"It was a great day. Andreas is a superb storyteller, and his performance of the creation myth was wonderful to experience. It should really have been a two day workshop, and I'd have happily attended." Course participant, Trevor Silvester

​

"Andreas weaves the mystery of the runes into the fabric of mythology and storytelling. His workshop enabled me to follow a deeper and personal journey into my own path of Norse shamanism and for that it transformed my life.” Serena Constance, founder of Runes and Roses

​

"I truly was deeply touched. It felt like a proper inner journey, a kind of Initiation!"

Boyan, course participant 

​

"An extraordinary and intense two-day adventure that will stir the soul, break your heart, summon the spirits and send shivers of deep mythic recognition down your spine. Andreas and Paul create a beautiful intimacy of relationships within the group, across the rugged Irish landscape and into the stories of the old North. An unforgettable experience from vastly insightful guides that will leave you with a profound sense of ‘hiraeth’ and wanting more…

Ed Gillespie, Tales from the North attendee, Wyrd School

"Andreas has a gift for storytelling, and for teasing deeper meanings out of things you thought you were already familiar with. His breadth and depth of this subject made for mesmerising evenings.” Participant, College of Psychic Studies

​

"I began working with Andreas earlier this year and chose an immersive one-to-one experience and journey into Norse mythology and Runic tradition. I chose this pathway because I was looking for something for me, something different to and away from my day-to-day work - I  have not been disappointed. Andreas creates a framework which affords a solid base to work from and each step of the journey is treated with the utmost respect and reverence. I find him to be a highly intuitive and sensitive teacher whose breath of knowledge and experience shines through the work. I have enjoyed the material immensely. Andreas possesses a true gift of storytelling which has  brought so much alive for me. A very beautiful and profoundly moving course, thank you." Jan May - Jungian Psychotherapist

​

"There are teachers and there are practitioners. Andreas is both. Thanks to his competent and generous approach, this class was just what I was looking for, and more. Andreas gracefully and mysteriously wove a web of diverse threads into the magical tapestries of Norse cosmology, mythology and magic, revealing a new world of imagination for both spirit and soul. This was my first experience with Zoom in the context of a multi-week class like this, and I was surprised at how little this affected the quality of intimacy - as I experienced it - with the group. I feel fortunate to have found this class when I did and look forward to joining the intermediate course, gods willing, when the time comes.” Participant, College of Psychic Studies

​

"Over the last two years, I have been diving deep into rune lore and mythology and mysticism. Before that, there were many years of intense pain in my life (which I won't go into here). I now recognise your talk as one of the principle events that helped steer me into a good direction. So thank you. I hope to meet you again whenever that next night be possible." Participant

​

"The course went way beyond my  expectations. It was deep, enlightening and varied. It was exactly the right thing at the right time for me. I see a new way of viewing the world and it allowed me to understand Northern pagan views far better. It opened up my intuition to the wider and wise natural world but also to my interior connecting both. And it showed me the real meaning of runes rather than the very flat view that can be generally understood. Andreas was 
incredibly engaging" Participant, College of Psychic Studies

"Andreas Kornevall offers a powerful immersive experience of travelling into Norse mythology and Runic divination, food for both soul and intellect. Understanding Runic script as mythic symbols opens a door into the archetypes that inform all human existence, and Andreas' deep knowledge and love for his subject is truly inspirational." - Professor Angela Voss, Christ Church University
