Seidr
5.0 - A Guide to Nordic Shamanism
The
first Swedish edition of Seidr was
published in 1985. The English version is based on the fifth edition that was
published in 2016 and is focused on the distinctive features of Nordic
shamanism. The book is both a theoretical and a practical guide to Nordic
shamanism with extensive accounts of sacred sites, non-ordinary reality,
Dreamtime, vision quests, soul journeys, power, magic, runes, seidr, ceremonies and shamanic medicine. The author also
writes thoroughly on traditional philosophy, the many similarities between a shamanic world view and quantum physics and how Nordic
shamanism can be creatively practiced in the 21st century. Here
is the opinion on the book by the Saami shaman Eirik Myrhaug: ”Eriksson
has a Nordic starting point for his shamanism, but he has also been much
inspired by Saami shamanism. He also brings in perspectives from quantum
physics into a shamanic world view and that makes the book very up to date.
It can be used as an encyclopedia of shamanism. This book is recommended!” Nicholas Breeze Wood reviewed the book in Sacred Hoop
no 97: “…it’s solid, and for those who feel the need to explore shamanism
from a more European basis it will, I am sure, give much food for thought and
trigger further explorations.” Details: 96 pages, A5, hardcover spiral. ISBN
978-91-978832-8-3. This book is sold out but is available as a free pdf
