VGS 8 LECTURE~ Fröjas apples: Spirits in Swedish VGS 8 LECTURE~ Fröjas apples: Spirits in Swedish Plant Folklore w/ Sara Bonadea George~

In the Swedish peasant society of the 1800´s, plants were considered to be vessels of great power and they were associated with spirits. This lecture examines how nature spirits and other supernatural entities have been linked to herbs and trees in pre-industrial folk tradition. The guardian of the forest, the elder tree mother, the underworld dwellers, trolls, the goddess Fröja, the thorn man and the devil are some of the beings we will meet in the world of enchantment that is the Swedish flora. There will also be a reflection upon which plants were prominent in the folklore of Sweden. 

Sara´s presentation is mainly based upon her research in the folklore archives in Uppsala and Stockholm, as well as in old local history books. Through the plant lore, we encounter a mystical world where the flora is not considered to be a mere “carrier of light”. Rather, the plant world is a realm where the dark shadows dwell, although there are also benevolent powers in the Scandinavian landscape.

Tickets are on sale now for the Symposium! Be sure to visit our page and check out more about what Sara is presenting at this year's event!

Using the traditional materials, craft your own witchball or protect your home, undo evils cast against you and learn the history of this delightfully strange practice.
