Galina Krasskova is a polytheist, animist, shaman, and ancestor worker. She is devoted to the Gods and Holy Powers of her ancestors and has dedicated her life to Their service. As a Northern Tradition shaman, she serves the needs of a broad network of communities and is accustomed to working with people of many different faith backgrounds.
Galina has a B.A. in Cultural Studies with a concentration in Religious Studies from Empire State College where she has also taught. Additionally, she holds a diploma in interfaith ministry from the New Seminary, where she worked as second year dean of students for the 2011-2012 academic year, the only polytheist thus far to hold such a position in the United States. She has a Masters degree in Religious Studies from New York University, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Classics. Galina is the author of numerous books, most notably "Exploring the Northern Tradition" and 'Neolithic Shamanism" (the latter co-authored with Raven Kaldera).

Galina is also (ever and always) involved in a number of projects:
