The founders / the guardians
The High Council.
Seidirwood was founded by people following different interests but sharing one commitment: to build a family-oriented community where curiosity and care can live together.
The founding circle
Five voices.
One beginning.
These are the Sanctuary's five original founders, represented by their community names and chosen titles. They are united in service to the whole Sanctuary, across all three equal Houses.
High Goði Sigegar Gunnleifsson
Drew · Co-founder · King and Head of House IronWolf
Keeper of the Lost Ways · Norse tradition, ancestry and kinship
Celtic Priestess Hallbera
Rebecca / Becca · Co-founder · Queen and Head of House Nightward
Keeper of the Celestial Path · Celtic heritage, nature and spiritual paths
Sasha-Runa Sigfusdottir
Sasha · Co-founder · House IronWolf
Norse Pagan interests and community building
The High King
Andy · Co-founder · Co-head of House Obsidian
Keeper of the Black Flame · Ancient traditions, occult studies and paranormal subjects
The Council continues
Leadership is
a responsibility.
Our High Council includes the founders and additional members who help care for the Sanctuary's future.
Ókvíðinn (Chris) is the sixth member of the High Council. He is not one of the five founders; he earned his seat through honesty, integrity and loyalty. He looks after security and settles disputes across the whole Sanctuary before they ever reach the full Council, and he is the Anchor of the Forge in House Obsidian. Public responsibilities, appointments and member-only processes are communicated through authorised Sanctuary channels.
What leadership means here
- Care for community wellbeing and fair participation.
- Keep the three Houses equal, not competitive for status.
- Respect safeguarding and members' private information.
- Make space for disagreement without personal attacks.
- Protect the right to raise legitimate concerns safely.
The Sanctuary is made by its people
There is more to us
than a title.
A name opens the door. The way we treat one another is what makes it a Sanctuary.
