Magie und Liminalität

"The Old Norse magic known as seiðr is associated in various ways with the phenomenon of liminality. This study traces the threshold-crossing elements in the tales of seiðr and the two divine seiðr masters Óðinn and Freyja. Using the mostly fragmentary sources, the author reconstructs the conceptual ideas behind the connection of seiðr and liminality."--Provided by publisher.
