About
My name is Spencer Pearman, I’m currently based in Longmont Colorado. I started studying Trolldom in 2022 under Johannes Gårdbäck, a former practitioner and current teacher in Sweden. Trolldom is one name used for the Scandinavian practice of what we today, call folk magic.
‘Troll’ references what is unseen or other, making this the art of Trolls. This term has been used interchangeably with many other terms throughout time and geography, and the use of these terms in English can be found even today in rural areas of America. For instance, practitioners in the Appalachia and Ozark mountains get referred to as ‘someone who can do a little of this and a little of that’, ‘praying grannies’, ‘one with the gift’ and the term ‘cunning’ which has a wide use in folk traditions, and gets applied to Trolldom as ‘Trollcunning’, one who has knowledge and ability to navigate the unseen. The practice of Trolldom will look familiar to those engaged with other folk traditions, as the specifics of each arise from the particular landscape and history of a culture, but the relationship with the natural world and it’s use to address the needs of people living on it, is something shared among the variations of folk magic.
Today, we are more familiar with terms such as magic, spell craft, witchcraft, and our contemporary developments of energy healing, neo shamanism, spiritual herbalism, quantum healing, and the myriad of terms popping up every day. Regardless of the framework, something always seems to rise within us to meet our needs in whatever way we can. The aim of Trolldom has always been to address the real needs of people using whatever is available.
Today Trolldom practitioners have a wide range of tools and perspectives available that people wouldn’t have had a couple hundred years ago. This puts the practitioner of Trolldom, and maybe any folk magic practitioner, in a unique place. In one hand is a love and reverence for the tradition and a desire for its continuation. In the other, is the need to do what works for the client. In this is the always sifting complexities of a living tradition.
Services Offered
This work can be powerful and lead to a lot of change and growth in ones life. As such, respect for the work becomes important in how a spell or ritual will plant itself.
Some useful ways to orient oneself to this is to think about the direction one wants to move towards. A spell or ritual will create a shift in that direction and over time, however small that shift is, the movement will be huge.
Another way to think about spell work is making something more available in your life. Taking something that has been good, that has worked for you, and bringing it more fully into your life.
These are just a couple approaches that one may find useful, and ultimately what a ‘spell’ or ‘magic’ is cannot be pinned down and defined, only chewed on in different ways to see if something useful comes from it.
Consultations
A half hour consultation will be necessary for all spell work and healings in order to get a proper understanding on what your situation is and what your needs are. if necessary, I will divine on the matter and see if it’s right for me to take further action.
Custom Spell Work
Spells can take the form of objects such as bags, sigils, or amulets, or take a more ephemeral form such as ritual, action, or prayer that leaves no physical trace, but moves through the non physical to start working.
Work can be done for any area of life, personal growth, family and relationships, work and financial issues, education, health, protection, spirituality, and more.
Within those areas spells can be used to attract, repel, draw boundaries, fuel movement and growth, energize, find peace, open doors, gifts, abilities, or close down unwanted situations.
Imagination is the limit of what a spell can be used for. Using a connection to you such as hair, spit, or fingernails, and a thorough divinatory read on your situation. I will craft a spell to the best of my abilities that will work directly with you, and the dynamic ecosystem within and around you.
Spells can also be general thriving, blessing, protection, or other kinds of non specific workings.
Healing and Cleansings
One hour healing sessions can be done online or in person. Combining techniques of modern energy healing, traditional cleansing, and spirit work, sessions can be done to remove harmful spirits, curses, and energies attached to you, your house, car, pets, and so on. If there is something specific that leads you to wanting a healing, I will do my best to take care of it.
Other things that can take place during these sessions are. balancing the elements within you, removing blocks and resistances to growth, bringing in blessings and clarity, soul retrieval, connection to ancestors or helping spirits, and waking up latent abilities, and aspects of your soul.
Need Based Working
If you have a need for spell work or healing and can’t afford it, please reach out all the same with your situation, and a picture of yourself, if divining on it shows that there is something useful I can do, I certainly will do what I can for you.
Folk tradition emerges from the real needs of people using what they had available for whatever dire situations they found themselves in. The ability to take action, in any way one can, is a driving force for folk tradition. Many aspects of Trolldom have been shaped in response to the severity of nature and history. It’s important to remember this and uphold this aspect of tradition through doing something about the very real needs and situations that people, today, find themselves in.
