2012)
List Price: $18.95
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
A step-by-step guide to working with the spirits of ancient
northern Europe
•
Explains how to build relationships with Earth, Sun, Moon, Plants, Animals,
Water, Fire, Craft, Air, and the Ancestors through 83 practical exercises
•
Explores the role of altered states in spirit work
•
Outlines the ancient cultural rules and taboos to avoid spiritual debt or
offense
We are all surrounded by spirits. Many people feel called to
work with them, but few know where to begin. Enjoined by the gods and spirits
to fulfill this need, Raven Kaldera and Galina Krasskova have reconstructed the
indigenous spiritual traditions of northern Europe and Scandinavia extinguished
more than one thousand years ago by the spread of Christianity. Arising from
basic survival needs, these practical traditions are fundamentally tied to the
elements found in the harsh world of the ancient North.
Beginning with the skills tied to the Earth element,
necessary for grounding prior to the more demanding aspects of the
practice--working with Sun, Moon, Plants, Animals, Water, Fire, Craft, and
Air--the authors explain, step by step, how to build relationships with each
elemental spirit and the Ancestors. Offering 83 practical exercises, from
cleansing with the Moon or borrowing the legs of Reindeer to making sacred
space with Mugwort or creating an ancestor altar, they also explore building
spirit relationships through altered states. Emphasizing the proper management
of your spirit relationships to avoid spiritual debt or offense, the authors outline
the ancient cultural rules and taboos that circumscribe these practices,
essential knowledge for successful and fruitful spirit alliances.
Detailing the beginning set of skills needed to work with
the spirits of this ancient world, this comprehensive workbook offers a unique
ancestral spiritual outlet for those of northern European descent as well as an
accessible guide for anyone trying to fulfill their shamanic callings.
