This experiential guide delves into the wisdom of Europe’s far north, offering shamanic journeys to connect with deities and ancestral shamans. It includes step-by-step instructions for conducting a seiðr ceremony and draws on archaeological evidence and written records from Iceland to illuminate the enduring tradition of female shamans in northern European shamanism. Shamanism, humanity’s oldest spiritual practice, has largely been lost in the Western world, but remnants persist in northern Europe, where original shamanic practices survived until the end of the Viking Age. By examining myths, folk traditions, and connections with other northern Eurasian cultures, the author reconstructs the shamanic practices of Scandinavia's hunter-gatherers. The guide explores the evolution of Norse shamanism, detailing how to enter Yggdrasil, the World Tree, for journeys to connect with ancestral shamans and the goddess Freyja. It also introduces exercises to engage with the Norns, the goddesses of fate, and the wilderness quest of útiseta for reconnecting with nature. Key concepts like Ørlög and Wyrd are explained, alongside exercises for personal transformation. The author provides thorough instructions for seiðr rituals, including creating a seiðr staff and hood, and emphasizes the significance of female shamans in ancient cultures. This guide serves as a pathway for personal healing and fostering a harmonious relationship with the natu
