Mondern spæ workers differ on this. Some feel that spæ is a part of seiðR, while others feel it does not meet the criteria. The Heathen scholar Eric Wodening maintains that seiðr is basicly an art of soul manipulation. If that is so, then spæ does not meet the criteria for seiðR. On the other hand, if one sees the spæ worker as manipulating the spirits into talking with them, then it would meet the criteria. Too, if one sees the spæ worker as reading one’s orlog directly, then it would also meet the criteria for seiðR.
