 * Since I originally started the article, it's only sensible that I should speak, especially first. I read the WP:VfD nomination, and I begin to see what has happened. The source material which I used to originally write the article has quite an ambiguous classification: it's part reference, part instruction book (namely in the lines of summoning, but always keeping to traditional methods). It's usefulness as an encyclopedic reference, in that regard, is questionable. The reference to the standing stones is my fault. I may have linked this article to the wrong standing stones (if there are any more standing stones in Europe). I shall have to read it again and make sure. With that in mind, and the fact that this was one of the first articles I wrote when I joined Wikipedia in March, you may do as you see fit with the article; I will understand. --JB Adder | Talk 04:56, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

The usual spelling is spae-

Spae
I think that this entry should be merged into an entry on Spae. This even could be merged into the closely related and over-lapping Seid, renaming the entry Seid and spae... - WeniWidiWiki 20:52, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

It appears to me that spaewife is simply a synonym of Völva as treated on the Völva page. I think it should be merged there instead.--Berig 22:10, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I have no objection to that... Except Spae is a practice - hence why I wanted to combine Seid and Spae. - WeniWidiWiki 22:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * As spae (to look into the future) is simply an aspect of seid, I think spae should be redirected to the seid article and the practice treated there, while spaewife is merged into Völva.--Berig 22:43, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. - WeniWidiWiki 23:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me, too. Spae-wife isn't an Old Norse term, by the way, but a Scots equivalent. (Not sure if the word "spae" is in common use in Scots, it still is in Scandinavian.) 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (&lt; \) (2 /) /)/ * 19:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
