Lessons of a Young Heathen

from Book Shelter · host Book Shelter

A comprehensive guide to Heathenry, Norse Magick, and shamanic practices. Authored by Asbjörn Torvǫl and published by Become A Living God, the book shares the author's personal spiritual journey from Christianity to a Norse Vitki (sorcerer). It covers fundamental concepts such as the nature of magick as a psychological science, the Law of Mentalism, and the Web of Wyrd, while also outlining various rituals and techniques. These practices include Útiseta (meditation), the Eye of Odin ritual for deep connection with the deity, protection methods like the Rite of the Hammer and Three Cloaks, and the importance of Blóts (sacrifices) and Önd (Odic force). The text further explores the Nine Noble Virtues, the significance of Freyja and Thor, and the historical origins of Yule traditions and the cultural importance of mead, concluding with a discussion on baneful magick (Myrkirstafir) and the concept of self-dedication and sacrifice.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Lessons-Young-Heathen-Asbjorn-Torvol/dp/1790494338?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=f46ba2ddc99242b08c8efb1be352462e&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
