Hodmimir means, ‘treasury of wisdom’; and holt means, “wood; stony ridge”. According to Heathen Lore, Hodmimir Holt is the only place not destroyed by Surtr’s sword, so it is here that all wisdom is preserved. Hodmimir Holt is a learning school, founded by Yngona Desmond, to preserve the cultural and historic integrity of Heathenry’s mystical and magic traditions.
