❦
A wise, warm and eminently pragmatic system of magic drawn from the Northern European tradition. The authors strike a fine balance between the pillars of careful scholarship and inspired practice, making Galdrbok a crucial, standout entry in the literature of the Northern Tradition.
Galdrbok offers a complete system for accessing the nine otherworlds of the Northwest European shamanic world tree Yggdrasil. The initiatory system in Galdrbok is inspired by the spiritual legacy of Heathen Northwest European communities of the migration age.
Galdrbok maps the altered conscious states which enable shamanic travel – by means of scrying (‘to descry’ / ‘foresee’ / crystal gaze), galdr (‘sung spells’), runic mediation and other powerful techniques, you can enter ecstasy and ‘walk between the worlds’ in the footsteps of Woden and Freyja, the Northern shamanic deities par excellence.”
“…remarkably intelligent, thoughtful and well-informed…” Prof Ronald Hutton, Author of The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles and Triumph of the Moon
