Anatomical-left foot anchor

Grounding point for ascent

This point mirrors the opposite foot as the second grounding anchor from which the reconstructed ascent begins. Nothing in the surviving seiðr accounts gives a left-right foot anatomy, so the bilateral pair is a deliberately broad, medium-fidelity projection rather than a claim about Norse doctrine.

Eiríks saga rauða ch. 4 describes the vǫlva's high-seat performance and prophetic song. No left-right foot anatomy occurs in the episode, so this source supports the ritual grounding context only, not the mirrored foot coordinate.
