The path of the ancestors

Markus

Hainhüter & storyteller

The ancestors speak softly. Whoever grows quiet hears them in the forest, in the wind and in their own blood.

Guidance at NORDVAKA

I guide the men’s paths.

At NORDVAKA I support the men’s paths alongside Nico. I am deeply connected with our ancestors, with the forces of the North and with the gods of the tradition, and with the trees whose language I speak.

I am in training with Nico and deepen the ritual path step by step. As a storyteller I pass on my knowledge of Nordic and Celtic belief to young and old, because stories carry the strength of the ancestors into the present.

Connection

Ancestors, gods and the forces of nature

For me the old stories are not the past. They live: in the ancestors who stand behind us, in the gods and forces of the North and in nature, which carries it all.

From this connection come objects from nature, often from wood, which I work historically. They accompany, protect and strengthen in ritual work and can support inner healing. Without promises, as companions.

At NORDVAKA I guide through

  • The men’s paths, in support alongside Nico
  • Rituals and stories from Nordic and Celtic tradition
  • The connection to the ancestors and to the forces of the North
  • Accompanying objects from nature

Working name

Hainhüter

Hain

Place of encounter

A grove is a piece of forest that has been regarded since ancient times as a place of silence and of encounter with the sacred, where the worlds are closer to each other.

Hüter

One who keeps

To guard is to preserve and protect: the forest, the knowledge of the ancestors and the stories passed on from mouth to mouth.

Together, Hainhüter describes my path: to serve the forest, to keep the knowledge of the ancestors alive and to guard spaces of encounter for others.

How I work

I believe we never walk alone. Behind us stand the ancestors, beneath us the roots, above us the expanse of the gods.

With reverence. With silence. With the ancestors at my side.

Whether about the men’s paths, the stories or my work with these objects: there is no pressure, only an honest, respectful exchange.
