E28 - the Nordic Magick of Hyldemors Have with Maria Lisette Jacobsen

Today's guest is Maria Lisette Jacobsen from Hyldemors Have (Elder Mother's Garden) - teacher and practitioner of Nordic Shamanism/ Seidr, her signature course is 'Everyday Shamanism', and she inspires thousands of her followers on instagram and social media with her wisdom & knowledge of herbs & nature's healing resources. Hear our heartfelt and inspired conversation!  Today's topics included; Maria's life and her journey towards Seidr/Shamanism, emerging role-models in our culture for the younger generations of women, & how much goodness is to be found in the energy of the Scandanavian paradigm of the Divine Feminine. We also talk about helleristninger (petroglyphs) on Bornholm, the bronze age gravhøj/burial mound at the Karen Blixen museum at Rungstedlund (she was the author who wrote 'Out of Africa'/ 'Den afrikanske farm'), and Maria gives us 2 great tips for bringing spirituality into our every day lives! ❤️ As a thank you, if you'd like to treat Rachel to a cup of coffee, you can do so here! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rachelgo Find Hyldemors Have on social media: Https://www.facebook.com/hyldemorshave/ Https://www.instagram.com/maria_hyldemors_have/ Https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqha_LIbcZhalWd1JDfo6IA/ Https://www.hyldemorshave.dk The chant used at the beginning and end of each episode is 'Ka Liko Pua Kukui' https://youtu.be/DVU6zB59DKw In the Hawaiian language, the word kukui means 'enlightened'. The kukui nut tree is a symbol of enlightenment, wisdom, protection and peace for the Hawaiians and is said to contain subtle energy known in Hawaii as “ki”. I learnt this chant from Nonna Beamers book 'Na Mele Huna', and practised for many months. She describes it as 'a gentle nature chant alluding to love... A flower representing a sweetheart is a common love symbol in Hawaiian poetry'. In my own practice I experienced a deeper meaning - of the attraction of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine to each other, the love that is experienced when they come together and the wish within all of us for returning to this state of oneness once again. Practising this sacred chant (in my experience) helps move us towards internal union by integrating our own divine masculine and feminine and brings us into greater balance. I believe also (again through my own experience and illuminations that I received) that it can help us attract a partner that we long for, through the sacred expression of these energies in the chant. Although this is obviously not directly a Sarah (daughter of the Magdalene and Yeshua) chant, it is a representation of Sarah's archetypal energy of integration and expression of the Sacred Marriage.
