US NSW - Galdrsong candle Serpents coil at its rootsIn Norse lore, galdr refers to a type of vocal magic used by practitioners to influence events, create protection, heal, curse, or connect with the spiritual world. Galdrsongs were usually sung, chanted, or intoned with specific rhythms and tones, because the sound itself was believed to hold power. They appear in sagas and Eddic poetry, often associated with seir magic, runes, and ritual practices.
