It’s worth noting that in many Indo-European religions, the chief god retains an association with magic, but especially divination; which is one application of seiðr. Lugh, Jupiter and Zeus all retain an association with divination, and stanza 79 of the Hávamál mentions asking the runes.
Seiðr would undoubtedly have been considered ergi because it would allow one to indirectly harm an opponent; acceptable for a woman who was at a physical disadvantage, but cowardly for a man, who would be expected to be direct in conflict.
In his book Children of Ash and Elm, woke academic Neil Price claims seiðr staffs represented a phallus, despite the fact most examples don’t look even remotely phallic, and priests and shamans in many other cultures, related and unrelated, use staffs of their own, often representing the axis mundi. For this theory, he cites “some scholars” without naming any. It has no basis in the sources or archaeology.

"For Telegram, accountability has always been a problem, which is why it was so popular even before the full-scale war with far-right extremists and terrorists from all over the world," she told AFP from her safe house outside the Ukrainian capital. Stocks closed in the red Friday as investors weighed upbeat remarks from Russian President Vladimir Putin about diplomatic discussions with Ukraine against a weaker-than-expected print on U.S. consumer sentiment. On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. The perpetrators use various names to carry out the investment scams. They may also impersonate or clone licensed capital market intermediaries by using the names, logos, credentials, websites and other details of the legitimate entities to promote the illegal schemes. He floated the idea of restricting the use of Telegram in Ukraine and Russia, a suggestion that was met with fierce opposition from users. Shortly after, Durov backed off the idea.
