About
I’m Ninni. A creative witch on her own kind of shamanic path. I’m a folk witch and guide into the realms of transformation. I believe the greatest magic in this world are our creativity and our ability to transform ourselves and that a lot of wisdom lives in the old knowledge.
Hi!
I’m an Eastern-Finnish-Karelian witch walking my own kind of shamanistic path.
I write, I sing spells, I craft things. There are always a few projects waiting for their turn. I seek inspiration from nature and folklore, always building a deeper connection with myself and the world, always finding new layers in both.
I struggled through overwhelm, anxiety, and burnout. And an enormous creative block. I opened a conversation with my nervous system, my fears, and my shadows, and found the energy and courage to follow my own North star.
I’m not saying the overwhelm and anxiety are gone. But through them, I have become brave and strong (and some might say: insane) enough to build something that truly means something to me.
That is what Witches’ North is about: taking ownership of your magic and your power, together with the spirits, spells and wisdom of the Finnic folklore. Here we connect to something ancient and bigger than ourselves. We building momentum for change from inside out.
Our craft matters.
I walk with witches, dreamers, memory keepers, and cycle-breakers who are ready to live their lore.
My offering
I offer online circles, courses and workshops that explore Finnic and Finnish folklore. We search for rooted and nature-connected ways of excising in this world.
We sing spells, meet the ancients and hear their wisdom. We listen to the nature and its cycles in our craft.
I teach the history of the lore, make interpretations and suggestions for personal growth based on it, create impactful audio journeys to meet the spirits of our lands, and offer creative prompts and projects my clients can work on.
I mix Yoga Nidra, modern coaching and somatic work, drumming and creative approaches in my offering.
A glimpse of future
In my vision I have my own, beautiful place, surrounded by nature and the quiet magic of the land and lakes. It’s a place where I can invite you to immerse yourself in the lore and wisdom of the Finnic peoples. My saunas on the shore of the lake welcome you to their transforming warmth, to be reborn again through the ancient rituals. We sing spells and drum around the campfire, laugh and cry together, as our stories are heard. You can visit me together with other retreat guests, or perhaps you want to rent a room for a bit longer residency in this land of the witches. Depending on when you visit, we explore the nature picking berries and mushrooms, collecting herbs for the sauna or doing crafts with deep meanings. I can’t wait to meet you here!
My vision
The tradition lives
Folk tradition is not a museum piece. It is alive and it grows as the people who carry it grow. It transforms to meet the modern day needs. My vision is to help people find this tradition and build deep meaning from ancient material and grow together with it. Doing this in an honest and respecting way, knowing the origins of it.
Human creation
We are creators and that is one of the most beautiful and meaningful parts of human existence. When you create from your own voice, your own roots, your own place in the living world, the creation carries weight. In the world of unlimited information and algorithms, remaining creative is a true magical ability (and a riot against the machines and those who own them).
Your spiritual home
Witches’ North is the place where those whose spiritual home is the north gather. Whether you were born here, carry it in your blood, or simply feel it in your bones. Online, we meet across distances and time zones to practice, create, and hold each other accountable to the world we are building. In the future I will offer retreats and gatherings in Finland, in the forests and by the lakes that this tradition grew from. This being said, I encourage building your own kind of practice, this is not a cult or religion of any sorts 😀
Practice with an impact
I believe that a person who is rooted and whole and live true to themselves makes better choices for themselves, for their communities, for the world they inhabit. When you are truly connected, you cannot remain indifferent. That impact can be big or small. A piece of writing that carries old wisdom forward. A small daily act of care for the land. A voice raised when something worth protecting is threatened. Or perhaps just the quiet, radical act of living differently, building inner balance in a world that profits from imbalance. For me personally, the biggest thing is sharing and building the tradition and helping people build the balance within themselves and through that, in this world.
Connection is the practice
In the core of Witches’ North is building connection that holds. To yourself, to others, to the living world, and to something older than all of it. This is where the magic lives.
To self
This is all about self-discovery and compassion. You cannot live fully from a self you don’t know. Your beliefs, your shadows, the patterns that protect you and the ones that limit you. These are not problems to fix, but territory to explore. When you know your own energy, your own voice, your own magic, you stop performing and start living.
To others
We are not meant to carry meaning alone. Shared ritual, shared witness, the moment someone else names what you’ve been carrying in silence. This is a biological and spiritual necessity. The right circle doesn’t drain you. It reminds you who you are and lifts you up.
To nature
Disconnection from the living world is one of the quietest forms of poverty. The forest has memory, the water has voice, the land has its own intelligence. When you bring yourself to nature with intention, it meets you. Nurturing this relationship brings both healing and meaning. But more than that: it returns you to a conversation that was never meant to stop.
To something greater
Humans have always needed to make sense of the world. Across centuries and continents, the stories we’ve told are surprisingly similar. You are part of a long continuum of meaning-making. Mythology and science are not opposites. One tells the story of the soul, the other tells something more practical. Both are true. Finnic folklore gives you a specific thread to hold.
