Well, after reading some and skimming the rest it seems the first link had most to offer. After comparing what the volves and seidrs were doing it seems clear to me that what I can do comes under the seidrmann's cloak - journeying, healing, affecting minds. It has a lot in common with shamanism. I intend to look further into this. The main thing I can't do that seidrmen were capable of was channeling, but even without that there's a lot I might be able to learn more about. Pity there's few books from the viking age :) Actually I might go straight to the spirits for this.
