Weird, I'm ethnic Hmong, Asian and an incoming shaman. I can understand everything you're saying about shamanism. lol Awesome, we all believe in 9 realms of heaven. A long stool is used by most Hmong shaman that represents a horse or boat when traveling into the spirit world.

Germanic and Celtic's weren't weak hippie's like the semi woman and woman of people into rune's today..lol

I think its important to remind people, however that reaching such a level of shamanic skill can take a lifetime of dedication. Some people are simply not inclined toward the more mystic part of our faith- it is simply not a gift imparted to them. Looks like you have such a gift- Good video.

@SvitjodsJarl most likely protonorse people did practice something closer to shamanism, and I feel the Volvas were very close to Shamans...people like to say it was this or that way, but the truth is we have precious little solid evidence of cultural practices, and much of our written history of the time was scriven hundreds of years after actual events, even though the writing may be from the early middle ages.

@SvitjodsJarl -amazing clip but runes did come from us, the thracians

If Eiwaz is /aj/, then that makes it a diphthong, not a phoneme. Wikipedia presents that rune as either /i/ ("pizza") or /y/ ("system").

Nice vid. I was sort of dumbstruck the first time I used runes. They really are keys to experiencing what they represent in a real, authentic way. I was sort of dismayed by the "no shamans in norsemen culture" someone else made. er, every culture has a shamanic equivalent. we're moving toward a more shared experience but there is still this "you're not doing it the RIGHT way" stuff that holds people back from moving forward.
subbed for sure.

Thanks for the video. But as for a beginner could it be dangerous?

Keep in mind that similarities attract. Be sure you are in a "higher" state of mind - free of fear, anger, or hatred. Set your intention to encounter only wise and peaceful beings.
Even with that, no "shamanic" type practice is recommended to "fly solo" until you know what to feel and what to expect and what to do just in case. I had hoped to hit some of those points in the video, but it doesn't hurt to re-state them
Thanks!

Intressting, Since runes only came from Scandinavia, And how there were no Shamans in the Norsemen culture, Rune Priests however did exist, so this video is a 1star..

yup, you are right. In fact I make no claim that the technique is historically accurate. It is my own that I have developed. :)
However, the Eddas suggest at shamanic journeying (Odhinn, Hermod,Skirnir Loki). Odhinn used runes to raise the volva and Skirnir threatened to use them.
There is no documentation extant of seidhr or shamanic techniques that were used 1,000 years ago. Good thing industriusness is a virtue. :)
