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.

Investors should also never deposit money into someone’s personal bank account if instructed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries.
