'Vikings': Could the boat builder Floki be the next Seer?

In season one, baby Bjorn asks Ragnar if Floki is like the god Loki. In season 4 the Seer licks Floki's hand instead of the other way around.

Ivar the Boneless (Alex Hogh Andersen) ruthlessly murdered the one character who had, all along, been untouchable - The Seer (John Kavanagh). As shocking as his death may be, the departure of the Seer in season 5B leaves room for a successor. Given that the Seer has no children, unlike Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) whose death set the stage for his sons, the Seer's death leaves a vacuum.

However, that void of a god-like figure may only be temporary since fans believe Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard) is the next Seer. Floki may not look like the black-lipped and skin-for-an-eye soothsayer, but he's very much the chosen one. Recall season 4 episode 4 when Floki visits the Seer. The Seer immediately tells him he's been waiting for him a long, long time.
