eBook. Seidr: The Gate is Open, Katie Gerrard


Seidr: The Gate is Open by Katie Gerrard has already received numerous outstanding and positive reviews from readers from all over the world.  
“For those who do not know, seidr is a rather controversial pre Christian Norse form of magic involving trance, prophecy, spirit contact, cursing and shape-shifting.  It centres around the so-called Rite of the High Seat based on a single mention in a medieval saga of a volva or preistess-seer sitting on a high seat or raised platform and prophesising.  The volva has been seen by some writers on the Northern European magical tradition, with one feels justficiation, as a prototype later post-Christian witches.  Based on the known historical sources and her own practical experience over a ten year period, Katie Gerrard offers her readers modern techniques for achieving a state of trance and contacting the Norse gods, spirits and the ancestral dead.”
Katie Gerrard is a writer, researcher, and workshop facilitator with a passion for the magic of Seidr and the Runes. She has been studying the different forms of norse magic and working with norse gods since discovering them in the 1990s.


Katie is also the author of Odin's Gateways (about working with the runes) and the forthcoming The Gate is Open (about Seidr and Northern tradition magical techniques), both publised by Avalonia Books. An essay on the High Sear Rite written by Katie Gerrard appeared in the Avalonia anthology 'Priestesses, Pythonesses, Sibyls'. She also regularly hosts seidr and other seer and norse rites within the London (UK) area.

Libro: Warrior Poet ~ Musings of an Asatru Warrior


In his eBook, Warrior Poet ~ Musings of an Asatru Warrior, Robert Allard has written a collection of fifteen evocative poems and kennings, in the style of the poetic Eddas and brings to a modern day world the excitement and atmosphere of the ancient warrior ways.
For this months column, I thought you would enjoy learning more about this author and how his chosen path of Asatru led him to write this engaging eBook.

Ages

From days gone by the warriors stand
Many ages Midgard calls it’s own
Shield walls collided oft
Axe and sword master dance in conflict

A day full of heroes falling
For family and kin
To the hall of the high one
Our ancestor sits

What cause could be so grand
Freedom a right hold dear
But to defend our land
That we fight without fear

Hail to the heroes
Defenders of our land
The thunderer’s pride is hard to gain
Battle for justice is never vain

Lets be bold in life
And in love be passionate
Stand by our actions
For the Norns seldom forget our fate

Libro: ASSUR, de Francisco Narla

De tierras hispanas surgió el héroe que desafió a los vikingos.

    Año del Señor 968. Atraídos por las riquezas de los reinos cristianos de la península ibérica, una flota de terribles guerreros nórdicos amenaza la floreciente Compostela, baluarte dela Iglesiay la corona. A su paso solo queda desolación.

  • Y a medida que remontan los ríos con sus rápidos drekar, buscando su presa, tras ellos dejan aldeas devastadas y cenizas humeantes. Como Outeiro, el pequeño pueblo en el que vive Assur, un muchacho al que, después de la trágica muerte de sus padres, no le queda otra opción que refugiarse en la esperanza de reencontrar a sus hermanos, capturados por los terribles invasores.

  • Gutier de León, infanzón del conde Gonzalo Sánchez, se cruza en el camino del joven y lo acoge bajo su tutela. Así conoce a Jesse ben Benjamín, un bondadoso médico judío, y a Weland, un mercenario normando al servicio de los cristianos.

  • Junto a ellos, Assur aprende todo lo necesario para encarar su destino: adquiere conocimientos de la ciencia de su tiempo y se adentra en el arte de la guerra.
