@AdmiralHip you know, I wonder about seiðr being liminal - I really don't think past cultures had eg same secular/sacred divide we do
and their liminality was to do with the fear/respect of magic. They were special people, and were treated accordingly.

and we don't truly know the extent of magic, if you were a völva for practicing it or if völur were diff for other reasons

it's difficult, because the written sources are not contemporary and the archaeology can be hard to interpret
