| Runic John | The Book of Seidr - The Native English & Northern European Shamanic Tradition (Capall Bann, 334pp pbk) Seidr is the ancient Northern European shamanism. The main practice of Seidr, as with all shamanic traditions, is the use of various extremely ancient techniques to affect the mind and alter our consciousness to a state in which we can perceive and work with the hidden realm of spirit directly. We may take up the practice of Seidr initially for ourselves to give us a better understanding of ourselves and of the hidden realm that normally lurks beneath the onion skin we call reality. We can use seidr to connect on a deeper level to our own inner self and to enhance our particular skills and positive qualities. |
