During the last 25 years he has travelled extensively in search of traditional wisdom and spiritual legacies, with a particular focus on African and Afro derived traditions along with what is generally defined as traditional witchcraft in Europe. This has led to deep involvement with several streams of wisdom, such as traditional Ifá, Haitian Vodou, Palo Mayombe, and Quimbanda. Frisvold has an interest in spiritual philosophy, occult history, and the aesthetic language used to describe and understand tradition, spirituality, sorcery, and witchcraft, as exemplified in his books Palo Mayombe, Pomba Gira, Exu, and Ifá. https://scarletimprint.com/publications/african-diaspora Frisvold arranges workshops, courses and events of a spiritual and psychological orientation, as well as initiations at his grange in the Brazilian countryside, Villa Draconis, with his wife, Katy.
