. . . brilliantly written, very well researched, and filled with fascinating historical stories and a wealth of exercises to help readers fully experience the powerful ancient shamanic practices of the Norse shamans. This book is superb!, An exceptional, authentic, and wonderfully informative exploration of the ancient ancestry, landscape, and mythology of Northern Europe and Norse shamanism--interspersed with accessible practical exercises reconstructing traditional practices of seir for contemporary personal use. One of the best books on this subject I have read. If you are looking for a book on Norse shamanism, this is it., This fascinating book weaves together the history and evolution of shamanism in northern Europe with the impact of climate change and human migration at least 12,000 years ago. Rysdyk has generously illustrated aspects of shamanic life with her original pen and ink drawings. Materials and instructions for journeying are offered throughout the book. It is an essential read for anyone interested in shamanic traditions.

Synopsis
An experiential guide to the wisdom preserved in Europe's far north - Includes shamanic journeys to connect with deities and your ancestral shamans - Provides step-by-step instructions to prepare for and conduct a sei r ceremony - Draws on archaeological evidence and surviving written records from Iceland - Reveals the long tradition of female shamans in northern European shamanism Shamanism is humanity's oldest spiritual tradition. In much of the Western world, the indigenous pre-Christian spiritual practices have been lost. Yet at the northern fringes of Europe, Christianity did not displace the original shamanic practices until the end of the Viking age. Remnants of Norse shamanic spirituality have survived in myths, folk traditions, and written records from Iceland, providing many clues about the ancient European shaman's world, especially when examined in conjunction with other shamanic cultures in northern Eurasia, such as the Sami and the tribes of Siberia. Reconstructing the shamanic practices of the hunter-gatherers of Scandinavia, Evelyn Rysdyk explores the evolution of Norse shamanism from its earliest female roots to the pre-Christian Viking Age. She explains how to enter Yggdrasil , the World Tree, to travel to other realms and provides shamanic journeys to connect with the ancestral shamans of your family tree, including the Norse goddess Freyja , the very first shaman. She offers exercises to connect with the ancient goddesses of fate, the Norns, and introduces the overnight wilderness quest of tiseta for reconnecting with the powers of nature. She explains the key concepts of rl g and Wyrd --the two most powerful forces that shape human lives--and provides exercises for letting go of harmful behavior patterns and transforming simple knowledge into profound wisdom by connecting with inn . Thoroughly examining the shamanic rituals of sei r , the oracular magic of the Nordic cultures, the author provides step-by-step instructions to prepare for and conduct a sei r ceremony, including creating your own sei r staff and hood, and explores the ancestral use of shamanic songs or var lokur to accompany the ceremony. Woven throughout these exercises, Rysdyk provides archaeological evidence from Neolithic sites supporting the long tradition of venerating wise women, grandmothers, and mothers in ancient cultures and the important role of female shamans at the heart of northern European shamanism. Providing an accessible guide for anyone trying to fulfill their shamanic callings, these powerful rituals can provide personal healing and a clear path for finding our way into a harmonious relationship with the natural world., An experiential guide to the wisdom preserved in Europe's far north * Includes shamanic journeys to connect with deities and your ancestral shamans * Provides step-by-step instructions to prepare for and conduct a seiðr ceremony * Draws on archaeological evidence and surviving written records from Iceland * Reveals the long tradition of female shamans in northern European shamanism Shamanism is humanity's oldest spiritual tradition.
