Overview

A detailed description of mythical beings and the ways they are conceptualised within Heathen (Northern European pre-Christian) thought, it discusses ways to enrich your life by becoming aware of their presence. This includes describing a meditative process to facilitate contact with nature spirits. It also includes some discussion of 'shamanism' as much of Heathenry is shamanistic in nature, and examines the concept of altering of conciousness. It includes discussions of 'sacred sites', places of the ancestors, and how the reader may regard those - including the need to respect the uses that other people (non-human or human) make of them. It is a combination of subject personal expereience and objective academic discussion regarding the sense of 'otherness' that Heathen incorporate into their daily practice.
