The Disclaimer: I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of any Asatru or Heathen group. I do not identify as Asatru or Heathen. I am a northern-tradition Pagan, which is a religious tradition that is reconstructionist-derived, rather than a reconstructionist tradition such as Asatru and/or Heathenry. The views espoused in these pages may or may not reflect the views of most Asatru and/or Heathen people or religious groups. They are derived from the personal gnosis of myself and other people whom I trust and respect. I do not claim that they are provable by academic sources, nor that they are anything other than what I say they are. Read at your own risk.
Northern-Tradition Shamanism
|
This section of my web page is devoted to information on northern-tradition shamanism. This tradition is a blend of the ancient shamanic traditions of many of the peoples of northern Europe - the Germanic, Norse, Anglo-Saxon, and Saami, and a little bit of Russian and western Siberian. It is spirit-taught, or at least it is being spirit-taught to me, and my learning of it is an organic thing. I keep adding to this part of the site as I go.
This is the tradition of my ancestors. Welcome in and I hope you find what you need.
