This post was inspired by Question #21 from this list.

Ever since I got interested in seidr, I’ve thought it might be nice to have an actual pair of catskin gloves to wear only while doing seidr. That’s because the volva who came to the Greenland village to prophecy was described as wearing them. This also makes sense to me because cats are dear to Freyja, who is both my patron goddess and the teacher of seidr to gods and men alike.

I’m not sure I’d ever get such a pair of gloves, however. I’m not sure where I’d even go to get them. I suppose I would have to have a pair custom made, but again wouldn’t even begin to know how to find someone with the appropriate skills. I feel like if I ever really need this, this is something that my queen or some other spiritual helper would have to pull a few strings t make sure I make the right connections at the right time.

Beyond that, I have little to know interest in involving animal bones, skins or other such paraphernalia in my personal magical practice. While I have a great deal of respect for those who do and understand the practice, it’s just not for me.
