Neolithic Shamanism: Spirit Work in the Norse Tradition

Raven Kaldera and Galina Krasskova designed Neolithic Shamanism to serve as an introduction to Northern Shamanistic practices for the uninitiated novice. For those compelled to study shamanism yet unaware of where to begin, Northern Shamanism offers the equivalent of the first year of training in this tradition ( though as the text is quick to point out, there is no real substitute for a human teacher). Northern Shamanism promotes an ancient understanding of shamanism as the maintenance of relationships with elemental, plant, animal, and divine spirits (which manifest literally rather than metaphorically) for the high purpose of survival. Shamans were intimately involved in protecting and aiding their communities through communication with various entities. Northern Shamanism is about reclaiming shamanistic traditions regardless of direct inheritance and becoming grounded once again in the world of the Real.
