Seiðhjallr base

High-seat posture support

The seiðhjallr base represents the seated support of the vǫlva's high-seat performance described in Eiríks saga rauða. Its placement at the pelvic base is a posture-oriented rendering choice, not a textual statement that the seiðhjallr carried an energy node or anatomical channel.

Eiríks saga rauða, chapter 4 (primary_canonical)

Eiríks saga rauða ch. 4 is the narrative locus for the seiðhjallr/high-seat performance, including the seeress's raised seat and ritual preparations. The pelvic-base marker translates that posture into a diagram and is not an attested Norse energy node.
