Very interesting video. You are missed. I hope you can return soon. Thank you.
Loved this video Anna! I think the concept of the walk is fascinating. It sounds a bit like a spiritual pilgrimage on a smaller scale. I’ve gone on solo walks before and I feel much is revealed when one clears the mind and allows their perception to expand. It feels meditative. I don’t doubt that those who followed this practice were able to perceive events yet to come or have some sort of supernatural or spiritual experience. Thank you for sharing this! 😄💖

Yes it's definitely a very relatable practice! I remember living in Northern Norway and being alone outside in winter, when there's no wind and everything is completely dark, shimmering with snow, still and eerily quiet - it feels very much like stepping into a different world!

Most intriguing! May I recommend "Geat and Maethild", a recent upload on the Northworthy Sagas and Stories channel here on KZread. Thanks as always, Anna!
I hope she’s doing well, I recall she said she was taking a long hiatus. It’s always nice to sit and listen to Old lore

I wanna see an adaptation of the Wild Swans fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen where the girl performs a Year Walk on her way to collect stinging nettles for her brothers
