Alva Spells

I come from a long lineage of women that have been practicing witchcraft, going back to at least the 15th century (this is as long as we have been able to trace them). I work with herbs, the elements, spirits and my natural gifts, as well as the ancient traditions here from Scandinavia that has been used for thousand of years. I’m a lifelong practitioner of the craft. My witchcraft draw upon ancient traditions from Scandinavia. I have a degree in prehistoric archaeology and therefore I draw upon many of these ancient traditions that have been passed through generations. I’m combining this with the knowledge from the women from my mother’s site of the family, that have been “wise women” for as long as we have been able to trace back to the 15th century. I carry out most of my work in nature at sites known to have been used for rituals for thousands of years leading back to the Stone Age through the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Viking age and beyond. These places are known archaeologically because of findings of sacrifices and remains from spell work, and I use the same places so I can draw upon all the magic that is loaded in the air, the water and the earth. When I then do my spells, I can draw upon my own powers, the ancient powers and the spirits that have gathered there for thousands of years. I am blessed to be living in a place where these ancient sites are in our landscapes and people have been using them since the beginning of when humans first came here. These places represent the liminal space between our world and the other world and doing my magic in the old ways have been very powerful for myself and my clients.
