Spellcraft: Your words shape reality
Spells speak in a language of their own. They are more than words. They are filled with symbols, rhythm and intention. Mythical ingredients meeting everyday life and needs.
But a spell that you found from online was built for someone else’s intentions. If you skip the process of writing your own spell, you skip half of the magic. When you write your own spells, you create exactly the energy you need. You give birth to something that holds meaning to you and your subconscious.
This is a 20-day online course for witches who want to create spells that deeply resonate.
Learn the magical rhythm of the words
This course will teach you to write and chant spells following spellcraft traditions from Finland and surrounding areas. It is based on tens of thousands of spells recorded from oral tradition.
You will learn to create your own spells using structures and ideas that are rooted in ancient rhythms, nature and your own truth. You will draw inspiration from your own surroundings and mix in any tradition or mythology you find close to yourself.
Every day, you will receive a new video sharing some theory and examples of the topic of the day. You will then do a writing task, building your own spell piece by piece.
In the tradition spells were often sung. You will hear many different melodies that you can use as a helpful tool for writing your spells, or in performing your spells. You don’t need to sing though! There are many ways to chant a spell 🙂
Mastered by desire impulsive,
By a mighty inward urging,
I am ready now for singing,
Ready to begin the chanting

about
My name is Ninni
I’m a sceptic witch walking my own kind of shamanistic path. I’m a folklore enthusiast, trauma-informed transformation coach and writer. I seek inspiration from nature and folklore, aiming to build a deeper connection with myself, others and the surroundings.
I struggled through overwhelm, anxiety and burnout. And an enormous creative block. I opened a conversation channel with my nervous system, fears, and shadows, and found the energy and courage to follow my own North star, my own path.
For me spellcraft is about taking ownership of our words and power, connecting to something ancient or bigger than myself, processing the inner world, and building momentum and energy for change. Words we say (or sing) matter.
I walk with witches, dreamers and cycle-breakers who are ready to live as their full selves.
My magic blends somatic work, subconscious exploration, energy work, Finnish myth, and creativity.
Words are powerful. How we speak affects how we experience reality. And I really loved making this spellcraft course! I hope you will enjoy it too!
Is this course for me?
This course is for you if:
– You’re drawn to folklore, mythology, and the magic of language
– You love writing and want to combine it with ritual practice
– You look for transforming your energy starting with yourself
– You want to find your own words to support your personal practice
– You want to learn an actual tradition
– You’re curious about Finnish or Nordic or Finno-Ugric magic
– You want to deepen your connection to nature, rhythm, and your own voice
– You like singing and would like to include that into your rituals (but this is optional)
This course is not for you if:
– You’re looking for quick manifestation hacks
– You want someone to tell you what to say
– You’re not willing to write and experiment
– You are uncomfortable with having some of the rhythmic and sung examples being in Finnish language (you don’t need to know Finnish to take part in this course)
Q&A
How much time does the course take?
You’ll receive a new video and task for 2o days, but you can go entirely at your own pace. A video can be 3-20 minutes long. The daily writing tasks will take you something like 10 minutes or more – depending on how much you want to spend time in writing.
What language is the course in?
The course and instructions are in English. However, all the example spells are also in Finnish. (Because the source material is in Finnish and my spell writing language is Finnish.) Some of the example audio is only in Finnish, but in those cases you don’t need to understand the words, but the point is in listening the rhthm or learning the melody.
I’m not from Finland or I don’t have Finnish heritage. Can I still attend?
Yes, you can. As long as you respect the original culture and don’t use the spells to mock our heritage, I believe it is totally OK that you learn Finnish spellcraft. This kind of (or very similar) spellcraft has existed (and exists) in Finland, Karelia, Estonia and Ingria. I believe that respectfully learning from other cultures makes you understand the world (and those other cultures) better, and understanding creates nicer people. If you share spells you have created inspired by Finnish culture, it would be polite to share the source of inspiration.
You can use elements from your own tradition and folk stories as parts of your spells.
Do I need to know Finnish mythology or be a witch to take this course?
No, you don’t. I will tell you what you need to know, and you can use your own life experiences and if you want, other mythologies or folklore to support your writing. You can also use this course to get ideas for writing poetry.
Do I need to finish in 20 days?
Nope. You get lifetime access. You can follow the rhythm or take your time. This is your journey.
Is this more spiritual or scientific?
Both. Finnish spellcraft have been studied a lot and I use researched information when I teach you about the history. However, I bring in a very practical approach, and you can make it as spiritual or magical as you like. The main goal (at least from my perspective) is that this course will help you write your own spells. Conscious of the history, but directed by your intuition and imagination.
Is this a live course or self-paced?
It’s fully self-paced. You can begin whenever you’re ready and return to the material as often as you like.
What format is the course in?
This is a self-paced online course. Once you purchase, you will be registered to my course platform. New material will open daily. Daily materials can include video, audio, text, PDFs with spell writing prompts. You will receive daily emails to remind you to return to the materials.
I don’t sing, can I still perform these spells?
Traditionally, Finnish spells are often sung. How ever, not always. Sometimes there is no time for singing. You can totally perform these spells without singing.
I would like to meet like-minded people. Can I do that on this course?
This course is self-paced and there is no community available. However my future plans include a membership where my customers can mingle and learn together.
I would like to have support from actual person during my journey, can I get it on this course?
This course is self-paced, but I offer you additional 1-1 coaching if you are interested. Contact me at ninni (at ) witchesnorth.com or DM me in IG, if you would like to learn more.
1:1- coaching takes place in Zoom and one session is 75 minutes.
