"Galdrbok" (''spell-book'') straddles the divide between the academic and the inspirational, to provide arguably the most comprehensive and practical ''system'' of Northwest European ''Heathen Shamanism'' thus far in print. Nine years in preparation and painstakingly constructed by two practicing Heathen shamans, "Galdrbok" explores the magic of Migration Age Northwest Europe, and outlines a complete self-study program of Heathen Runecraft. "Galdrbok" introduces the essential techniques of Scrying (''to descry''/''foresee''/crystal gaze), and Galdr (magical chants or sung spells), and other powerful techniques involving Runes (whispered secrets and magical letters) for inducing the ''altered states'' necessary to enter and explore the nine magical worlds of ''Yggdrasill'' - the Heathen World Tree. The book also includes an impressively thorough bibliography for sourcing essential reading on Heathenry, Paganisms, and related occult subjects.
