Seiðr

Seiðr (sometimes anglicized as seidhr, seidh, seidr, seithr or seith) is an Old Norse term for a type of sorcery which was practiced in Norse society during the Late Scandinavian Iron Age. Connected with Norse religion, its origins are largely unknown, although it gradually eroded following the Christianization of Scandinavia.

"...Odin is a god of many things. I mean that in the sense that he presides over them, or is the cause, or effector of them. Chief amongst them, perhaps, is death. Odin is the psychopomp, the ferryman who conducts souls from the land of the living to the land of the dead. He is the one who hands out death. As such he is the one who apportions victory in battle, as the one who controls death also controls the victory. From this he is also god of battle itself, and we see this function in the war-strategies he gifts certain of his chosen humans with, as well as in the berserkergang, the internal-style martial art his devotees fought with. He is god of poetry, and is the apportioner of inspiration. He is god of wine (and probably many if not all mind-altering substances). He is the god of seidh-craft. (A vaguely shamanic sort of practice. However, NOT identifiable with shamanism.) He is god of sex, in that where Thor boasts of jotuns slain, Odin boasts of women slept with. (This is sex for sex's own sake, rather than having to do with relationships.) These last two things also come together in a third way. Seidh practice may have involved various cross-gendered practices, such as cross-dressing or passive homosexuality. (This is not a certain thing. There are arguments both ways about it. But male seidh practitioners were often referred to as seidhberendur, and berendur was a coarse term in Old Norse for female genitalia, and was used to refer to homosexual men, amongst other things.) Thus Odin can also be seen as god of the transgendered of various kinds...."

Matthew 22:32 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.'


1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

9 have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.

Odin may or may not have had that connotation to a few, but really nothing is known about what seidr really was.

The popular culture of the ancient norse was certainly not tolerant of homosexuality. Homosexuals were frequently killed by the vikings. They occasionally still find the bodies of "bog-men" to this day.

Nordic society had laws legislating the use of the term ergi, meaning they took it very seriously as an insult. If you called a viking gay, he had the right to kill you, and no retribution against him was possible.

If I had to speculate - and speculation is all your quote offers regarding seidr, by the way - I'd say the male practicioners of seidr wore long flowing robes to look like priests or shamans, which invited comparisons to female clothing. Catholic priests were likewise mocked for their "effeminate" clothing.
