Welcome!
Welcome to Staff, Veil and Drum. This website is to serve as the journal of Védís, a völva who practices the art of Seiðr. This will be a study of Seiðr both in ancient and modern contexts, specifically from the perspective of the Catskin Collective’s tradition. It also serves as a place to connect with Védís for readings, energy healing, and commissions.
Looking to have a one on one reading done by Védís? She uses tarot, seiðr, and spá to give you answers. She is also available for distance healing sessions.
