Rune Magic and Shamanism Original Nordic Knowledge from
Mother Earth
ISBN
9789197883221, Paperback, 135 pages. The
runes are an integral part of a Nordic shamanic way of knowledge that was
long forgotten but recreated by new shamans towards the end of the 20th
century. Their aim was to pull the essence of the runes, their origins and
meanings from the recesses of history and bring them into our own time in a
dynamic and creative way. This
dynamic method is the basis of this book by Jörgen I
Eriksson who has been working with the runes within the Nordic
shamanic tradition since the early 1980’s. The runes possess a great inherent
power. They are doorways to Dreamtime and do express the totality of all
knowledge that is dispersed everywhere. The runes are one of the sacred rites
originating from the holy beings of Dreamtime and they can be utilized to
bring harmony and balance to humans, animals, plants and minerals. The runes
are a sacrament in Nordic shamanism and by combining the runes with other
shamanic methods such as vision quests, ceremonies, seidr and
magical singing this shamanic tradition can manifest its full potential. The
author applies a dynamic and shamanic method to the runic system finding very
important connections to the traditions of alchemy, to deep psychology and to
quantum physics. A special chapter is devoted to an analysis of the
connections between the runes and the nine creation waves of Mayan cosmology. Rune Magic and Shamanism describes the runes as processes,
their origins and meanings and how they can be used as an excellent tool in
order to think and act in beauty. Its aim is to be a manual to the shaman’s
philosophy and practice. “Eriksson
has taken the uthark
system and magically transformed it to a pathway into the cosmos. This is not
a how-to-become-a-rune-magician-in-24-easy-steps-book – it is an invitation
to take up another key to open the treasure-chest of your life.” (From review
by Jonathan Horwitz in Sacred Hoop). This book is all
sold out, no new printing planned. My book The Active Side of Infinity – Castaneda
and Shamanism is still available in English. Details here. If you want to know how to sound and sing the runes
