Seidr Seid Sol Iss Burs And Nordic Shamanism - Yves Kodratoff

The first part is personal, and it exposes my practice of seidr, by comparing it several times to the one coming from Diana Paxsons group and in Jordsvins papers. I thus recommend to read at first these papers before  mine. The second part explains and supports my own practice of seidr, but the facts it contains are  independent of any belief. It is subdivided in two sections. The first is a rather scholarly description of the linguistic problems involved with the word seidr in Old Norse, the ancient Norwegian, (and Icelandic, Danish, Swedish) language, used in the sagas and the Eddic and Skaldic poems.

The second is an annotated presentation of the runic inscriptions referring or alluding to seidr.
