Vahalla Ladder
Valhalla ladders are made from driftwood and are used for protection by gods as they sit at the top of the ladder to protect you and your home. Each ladder may have added elements of the like "Helm of Awe" and a crystal at the bottom, it all depends on what I am called to do.
Runic symbols may be included in the Valhalla Ladder to expand on their power. Elder Futhark is the oldest runic alphabet used by Vikings. It holds 24 distinctive runic symbols, each alphabet has its own meaning.
Valhalla Ladders: Sacred Protection from the Gods
​
Forged by the elements and guided by the divine, Valhalla Ladders are crafted from driftwood, each piece chosen with intention during meditative walks through mountains, rivers, prairies, and forests. These sacred ladders serve as a conduit between realms—where the gods stand watch at the top, shielding you and your home.
​
Each Valhalla Ladder is unique, imbued with Ancient Norse Energy and adorned as called by spirit. Some feature the Helm of Awe, a powerful Viking symbol of protection, strength, and courage—believed to strike fear into enemies and shield its bearer. Others may bear Elder Futhark runes, the oldest Viking alphabet, each symbol carrying its own sacred meaning.
​
Crystals, such as Shungite, may be woven into the design, adding layers of energy and wisdom. Known for its protective properties, Shungite shields against EMF radiation while propelling spiritual growth, urging its bearer forward on their path.
​
My connection to Viking symbology runs deep, rooted in the teachings of Seidr (Norse Shamanism) and strengthened by ancestral ties to Agni Skalfarbondi (350-380) and Dag the Wise. With each Valhalla Ladder, I call upon the blessings of the gods and goddesses, allowing their presence to infuse every creation with magic, strength, and divine guardianship.
​
These are more than artifacts—they are sacred keys, woven with the power of the old ways, standing as sentinels of protection, wisdom, and ancestral connection.

Witch’s Ladders: Weaving Magic, Intention & Power
​
A Witch’s Ladder is an ancient tool of spellcraft, where knots and charms bind energy, intention, and will into a sacred cord. Traditionally used in folk magic and witchcraft, these ladders serve a multitude of purposes—protection, healing, binding, manifestation, and deep spiritual work.
​
Binding is the sacred art of setting energetic boundaries, a weaving of intention that safeguards the soul. It is not about control, but about protection, balance, and sovereignty—a way to shield oneself from harmful influences, whether seen or unseen. Through knot, cord, or sigil, binding channels focused will to repel negativity, sever toxic ties, and reinforce personal power. Just as a tree’s roots intertwine to anchor and protect against the storm, a well-crafted binding weaves strength into the fabric of our existence, ensuring that only what serves our highest good may enter our space.
​
Crafted from natural fibers such as wool, hemp, or hair, they often contain three, nine, thirteen, or forty knots, each securing power within. Feathers, bones, beads, and other talismans are woven into the design, while incantations are spoken, charging the ladder with its intended magic.
​
Modern Wiccans and Neopagans use Witch’s Ladders for wish-granting, weather magic, and connecting with the fairy realm. Some bind the thirteen moons of the year, deepening their connection to lunar cycles and natural forces. Others use them for personal rituals—easing pain, ensuring safe travel, attracting love, or creating harmony in the home.
​
Each knot is a vessel of power. Each charm, a key to unlocking the unseen. Whether used as a personal talisman or a spell-bound creation, a Witch’s Ladder is a woven path between realms, carrying the essence of the witch’s will into the universe.
