Ljóssal Lódursson

Skola Meistari

Ljóssál Lóðursson is a writer of esotericism and occultism born in Colombia. He has dedicated 21 years of his life to the practice of different spiritual paths. He learned traditional indigenous medicine from the Muysca and Pastos ethnic groups. He is co-founder of the initiatory group AONS in Latin America dedicated to the Alchemy of the Left Hand Path. He is the founder of Editorial Ophiolatreia, where he has published more than a dozen books on alchemy and Nordic tradition, and has written articles for different anthologies and magazines in North America and Europe such as Qliphoth Opus I and III, as well as Sabbatica Vol I, II and III.

He has dedicated himself to the study and experience of Nordic spirituality, being the first collaborator and teacher of Modern Runology [operative] in Latin America certified by the A.I.R (Accademia Italiana Runologi) in Europe, carrying out various investigations throughout the Scandinavian peninsula. Ljóssál has deepened in the different aspects of Nordic magic, and has been instructed by the main personalities of Sweden in this field. He participated in the teachings of Thomas Karlsson Ph.D. in his numerous courses on Esoteric Runology, learned with Lars Magnar Enoksen the principles of “galdralag” or the metric of incantations and has been a student of Johannes Björn Gårdbäck in the tradition of Swedish folk magic also known as ‘trolldom’.

In his personal contribution to runology, he worked together with the Icelandic folklorist Kári Pálsson in the compilation, translation (into English and Spanish) and cataloguing of the “faldar deilir” or ‘hidden explanations’ of the runes, which reveal their main magical and poetic characteristics. These are scattered throughout the various Icelandic magical manuscripts, such compilation is available in the book ‘Rúnalist’. Later, in his book called ‘Rúnameistari’, he presents a completely unpublished exegesis on the creation of the different runic incantations and poems.

Voices of the Svartiskóli

These testimonials bear witness not only to the quality of our teaching, but also to the unique stories and transformative experiences shared by our distinguished alumni. In their own words, they reflect the profound impact our school has had on their lives and trajectories.

My learning in Salmantika was very satisfactory. The teacher Ljóssál is a great person not only because of his knowledge that he is willing to share; he likes to support his students, he invites them to investigate in reliable sources and he is also very patient in explaining the topics that they get to see in the school. I recommend 100% to those who are interested in learning the path of witchcraft and especially for those who are interested in Nordic witchcraft.

When I started my studies at Salmantika, my expectations were high. The syllabus is extensive and rich in content. Just by looking at it, I began to think of all the things that can be learned with Ljóssál Lóðursson's guidance, I had already read some of his books and was eager to start. In the course of the levels I saw that my expectations were far exceeded, I realized several things that I was leaving behind in my spiritual path and many more were reinforced that turned out to be vital elements. I learned many new things, with the Nordic/animistic approach that has always been my favorite; but we also learned other continental magickal approaches. If you want to learn magic in its truest and clearest aspect, I recommend studying the material proposed in this school. Every subject you see can be years of practice, and nothing is wasted.

Svartiskóli, for me has been a compass in a forest, a guide for my learning. I as an anarchist and to some extent self-taught student who had not found an education/learning system where I could not only find a challenge but also a real knowledge in Salmantika I found it, where the teachers are open to debate and argument, where I not only found answers to my doubts but also pushed me to ask myself new questions.La Svartiskóli fue, para mi, una toma de decisiones, esfuerzos y sacrificios que sin duda volvería a hacer, pues no hay otro sistema así que considere yo, tan completo en el saber arcano.

It is in Salmantika where the call to sapience, to the atavistic dark arts, becomes present; your progress grows and the path is marked with firmness, will, in a process for personal transformation. With a teacher who all his life has dedicated his time, tenacity and wisdom in these wonderful arts; his words and knowledge come at the right time and are available to the ears that know how to listen, without a doubt Salmantika is a school where your wit, ability, sharpness and insight will make much more sense.

Joining Salmantika has been a fundamental pillar to grow and advance with solid foundations and instructions in my spiritual path and more specifically to be able to implement with more strength the practical magical-women's part, all this without leaving aside during the extensive and rich syllabus of studies the magic-theurgy and the magical-religious processes, all of them also treated in depth of course from the antinomic and left hand perspective. Each of the triads and their levels of study offer the student fundamental study tools and practices that will allow him to develop his magical abilities according to his interests and objectives, as well as to consolidate and strengthen those he already possesses and uses. The entire system of studies is very well documented with recognized sources that are cited and shared through documents, images, diagrams and websites during the classes. Ljóssál's willingness and teaching vocation to answer all the doubts raised by his students during each of the classes is remarkable. Salmantika's school is a living example of the revival of the magical teaching tradition in modern times, which without a doubt every magician, seeker and authentic walker of the sinister path should not miss.

Salmantika became a pillar and foundation for my magical praxis; it opened doors to occult knowledge and led me to paths that would further enrich my personal practice. The material, the practices and the empowerment they give exceeded my expectations, proud to have belonged to this school and to be a Salmantika graduate.

The instructive in Salmantika svartiskóli has been a great and important influence in my spiritual path, since through his teachings and learning processes of his schemes at academic and practical level strengthens, empowers, complements and rectifies our bases to carry and better understand the processes at personal and spiritual level. Within his curriculum I liked and called my attention to induce me more with the triad or knowledge of "Lupus ventris" and "Caput corvus", this transmission influences the magician to enrich and expand his knowledge and understanding of his own process.
