Magic in Vinland
Magic in Vinland comes from one of four traditions. In each case,
the understanding and practice of magic is different: sometimes
minorly, sometimes majorly. Thus, each type is described
independently even though there is overlap between them.
-
Norse Seidhr Magic
- This is shamanic magic learned by the Norse from their Lapp
neighbors centuries ago. It is primarily a woman's craft,
being seen as unmanly and worse in men.
-
Lagakin Spirit Magic
- Most Lagakin leaders practice a limited form of spirit magic,
but the true practice is restricted to shamans called
buowin.
-
Norse Runic Magic
- Incomplete notes on runic magic.
-
Frankish Witchcraft
- Incomplete notes on witchcraft as practiced by Frankish
immigrants.
