Goddess Inspiration Oracle: Erda

Big news: the Goddess Inspiration Oracle is shipping a month early from Amazon.com. But I’m still featuring a goddess card each Monday now through September, the GIO’s official publication date.

KEYWORDS:

The Norse earth goddess, Erda, lived in a cave within the earth’s deepest recesses, which was set next to the roots of Yggdrasil, the vast World Tree. Yggdrasil was watered by Erda’s plentiful fountain of wisdom. Erda’s powers were as encompassing as Yggdrasil’s leafy span—the goddess and her magical fountain were often invoked by those in need of her far-reaching wisdom. Others believed Erda could bend the inexorable powers of fate over which she ruled.

Because of Erda’s association with fate, the Norse thought there was a clear correlation between the goddess and the art of divination. They often turned to the earth itself for guidance, using many aspects of it as oracles—animals, birds, the sky, even the ocean. They believed observation of these phenomena could offer divine answers.
