Odensholm, at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland, Estonia
The Odensholm Expedition and Rituals
A two-night expedition to Odin’s island, and the Blessing Starseeds ritual.
Odensholm sits out at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland, small and low and a long way from anything that wants something from you. It carries the name of Odin, the Viking god who gave an eye for wisdom and hung nine nights in a windswept tree to learn what he wanted to know.
The journey
Coming Home
The boat goes in the afternoon. You watch the mainland get smaller, then there is only water, and then the island.
Heartfelt Journey
You wake to water on stones and nothing else. Yoga on the grass while the island stirs, then a swim in the freshwater lakes.
Blessing Starseeds
By afternoon the stones are ready. Water comes out of the sea above the crater, and juniper and birch from the island go into the steam.
Celebration
You step out of the fire and the whole island is celebrating. Above it, the sky you crossed for.
