Root in the Well
I Am Amina.
I am a researcher, storyteller and writer. I work closely with textual and material evidence to explore the culture hybridity driven by the Viking Age in what is now Great Britain and Ireland.
My work is informed by my academic research in fields spanning the French Philosophy and Romanticism, Norse and Celtic myth and literature and indigenous thinking and animism.
My recent collaborations and work include performing Eddic poetry, telling stories of the Mabinogi and speaking on the importance of cultivating reciprocal relationships in a transactional world.
Connect with Me.
When I am not researching or in the field, I am traveling to give talks, tell stories, perform ritual, and attend events. I have been involved in ritual storytelling in the US, UK, and Scandinavia since 2018, collaborating with many others in my field to reinvigorate old knowledge systems and re-enchant our world.
