From the author of Helrunar: manual of rune magick, and Visual Magick, a handbook of freestyle shamanism, comes the definitive study of magical trance and possession techniques. - Shantidevi quoted in chapter twelve \'Rhythms and the Mind\'.
This gives my magical work a potency that it simply didn\'t have before. it ..has had a major impact upon my magical work which used to be largely indoors, as at last I have found a way that I can work outdoors.
It was a really moving experience in a site that - until then - had not been particularly \'special\' to me...
I could see (with my physical eyes, not astrally!) the surface of the land in the centre of the circle rippling, like waves of energy.
After a while I started to see visions - something that very rarely happens to me.
I liked the feeling of my body taking over where the shaking was first voluntary - but I could still have some control, making the shaking stronger or more subtle.
My body felt warm and sensual, and seething in the hips felt quite sexual.
I first was taken by the pleasure of it.
Seething is probably the most useful magical technique I have ever learned.
The book provides an extensive survey of the manifestation of this powerful technique through several related magical traditions - shamanism, mesmerism, draconian cults and even the nightside of European paganism.
The author is inspired by the Nordic tradition of Seidr, said to have been taught to the human race by Odin.
