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.

Foreword

I have decided to create this blog with only one main objective:

To gather and share as many occult works that is possible.

As a matter of fact this is because of the stupid attitude and arrogance of some people that are currently dealing with the occult knowledge at this times. About these people, I usually like to think on the words of 19th century French historian Jules Michelet on his "La Sorcière" small book:

- "(...) The judge is always sure of doing justice; anyone brought before him is inevitably guilty, and if he defends himself, doubly guilty. No call for Justice to sweat, and rack its brains in order to distinguish true and false; in every case the decision is a foregone conclusion. The logician likewise and the schoolman may spare themselves the trouble of analysing the soul of man, of examining the phases through which it passes, of considering its complexity, its internal disparities and self-contradictions. No need, as we feel ourselves bound to do, to explain how, by slow and subtle degrees, the soul may grow vicious instead of virtuous. These refinements, these doubts and difficulties and scruples, if they understood them at all, how they would laugh at them, and shake their heads in scorn, and how gracefully would the fine long ears that ornament their empty pates waggle to and fro!"

This is my personal gift for all of you out there. I would like to ask just two things while downloading these material:

1 - If it is possible, support the authors (at least, the live ones) by buying the original printed editions.

2 - Please, DO NOT upload these PDF's on the "The Occult.bz". They are a bunch of shit heads.

That said, have fun!!
