For example, Leo is linked with Anubis and Taurus with Hathor. Venus is associated with the goddess Isis and Jupiter with Horus. Each chapter includes sacred invocations and shamanic rituals to invite the wisdom of each Egyptian deity into your life--such as calling on Sekhmet for action or Thoth for clarity.

Book SynopsisConnecting Norse mythology, ecstatic trance, the Universal Mind and the dawn of a new age of peace and veneration for Mother Earth, Nicholas Brink reveals how we can use ecstatic and hypnotic trance to learn more directly and deeply from our distant ancestors, rediscover our extrasensory powers and reclaim the original magical nature of humanity. The imminent rebirth of a peaceful, balanced, connected world was predicted in Norse mythology as the return of Baldr, the gentle and compassionate Nordic god of truth, healing and rune work. Illustrating ecstatic trance postures to connect with the ancient Nordic people and their beliefs, to journey to exact points in time and to access specific powers, such as seeing into our future, Brink explores humanity's evolving cycle of consciousness from the era when the Great Mother goddess was the centre of life through the transition to the worship of power and physical strength in the Bronze Age and the world of the Vikings. He explores the coming return of Baldr and the imminent new age of peace and respect for the earth. Through hypnotic divination, the author expands the stories of the early Nordic gods and goddesses from the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, in particular the fertility deities of the Vanir, such as Freyr, Freyja and Idunn, who came before the warrior deities of the Æsir, such as Odin, Thor and Loki. He details the epic battle of Ragnar¸ok and the birth, life, death and rebirth of Baldr. Brink shows how these ancient stories happen outside of time, in the past, present and future, thus Baldr's return is replayed in our death-rebirth experiences of life, in each dawn, with each spring and now with the birth of a new age that we see happening all around us. Through the power of trance at this time of rebirth, we move full circle to reclaim the magic of the earliest times, the times of the Garden of Idunn. · illustrates ecstatic trance postures to connect with the ancient Nordic people, to journey to exact points in time and to access powers such as seeing into our future · explains how the coming new age of peace and veneration for Mother earth was predicted in Norse mythology as the rebirth of the compassionate god Baldr · expands on the stories of the early Nordic gods and goddesses from the Prose Edda and the Poetic EddaTrade Review“Nick Brink brilliantly applies the use of ancient ritual postures and ecstatic trance, as taught by anthropologist Felicitas Goodman, to reclaim the wisdom of his ancestors and to make an impassioned plea for us all to welcome the return of Baldr and the Great Mother as our guides into a new era of peace. I was moved and inspired by the depth of his research and his deep love for the stories that help us know more truly who we really are.” * Belinda Gore, Ph.D., author of The Ecstatic Experience director of training and former president of *“This book is a lively combination of ancestral imagination, mythology, and historical reality. The author introduces a series of ecstatic trance postures that have been identified elsewhere as having ancient use for facilitating a variety of meditative inquiries and are frequently represented by some of the earliest known sacred figurines from around the world. The author, as he should, leaves the reader to form his or her own opinion as to the degree to which the story can be taken literally or as metaphor, as reality or imaginal fantasy, as personal or collective. Either way, James Hillman suggested that imagination and soul are fundamentally the same thing, and in that sense this book is a soul-focused journey into some of the long-ago roots of modern civilization.” * Raymond Hillis, Ph.D., professor emeritus of counseling, California State University, Los Angeles *“For millennia ancient societies depended on their shamans to bring back information through trance states that was needed for their continued survival and evolution. Now, as we enter into the dawning of a new age, Nicholas Brink is one of those rare individuals bringing us once again into altered states of awareness through the correct use of postures that deepen the trance state. This is a must read for anyone on this path of awakening.” * Rahasya Poe, C.Ht., author of To Believe Or Not To Believe and The 12 Spiritual Laws of Recovery: An *“Baldr’s Magic is for anyone who loves mythology and myth-making. They will find themselves interested in one fine man’s personal tale in addition to his take on today’s society. Baldr’s Magic gives us hope and encouragement that our time is being reborn into the values of the ancient Great Mother, the values of compassion, nurturing, and peace. His “Lost Eddas” show the magic, enchantment, and compassion of the Vanir gods, and they show the strong, bold Æsir gods, whose life is war. Do not miss the last part of the book, “The Teachings of the Vanir,” and final comments.” * Lisa N. Woodside, Ph.D., professor emerita of humanities, Holy Family University, and certified teac *“Baldr’s Magic brings alive the world of the ancient Nordic people during a time of prehistory when the Great Mother was worshipped, the time of the Vanir, the gods and goddesses of fertility, a time of peace when mankind lived sustainably on Earth. Then something happened. Men began to control the world, began to value physical strength, began to fight among themselves, and worshipped the Nordic gods of war, Odin and Thor. This book is about this time of transition. Nick Brink shows a real command of the ancient Nordic beliefs and fills in the missing beliefs or the beliefs that were never recorded: the lost stories of the Vanir. With the use of hypnotic and ecstatic trance he journeys back in time to recover these stories that offer us the picture of what the world was like when the Great Mother was worshipped, a world of peace and cooperation, a world of magic that provides us with guidelines for the coming new age.” * Michael Bell, Ph.D., retired professor of Medieval and Folklore Studies, University of Colorado *“An inspirational piece of work. Reading this book will bring you through the tale of the old gods of the Vanir as we know them from Norse mythology: a peace-loving society in balance with nature and the Great Módir, Mother Earth. With the tools of ecstatic and hypnotic trance, the author assesses the ancient world of the gods and people from the old Norse world. He tells us the tale of Ragnaro?k, and the survival of the Vanir, and he shows the reader the new peaceful world that is to come.” * Monica Steensdatter, registered psychiatric nurse, Nuuk, Greenland *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Foreword by Reverend James Lawer Prologue: Our Relationship to the Great Mother Part One The Universal Mind Understanding Trance 1 The Lost Powers of the Nordic People 2 The Powers of Ecstatic and Hypnotic Trance 3 Nordic Postures Part Two The Lives of the Ancient Ones Using Ecstatic Trance to Access Nordic Ancestors 4 Communing with Ancestors: An Overview 5 The Era of the Mother Goddess 6 The Transition 7 The Warrior and His Family 8 Baldr’s Rebirth Part Three The Myths and Beliefs of the Ancient Ones Learning from the Nordic Gods through Hypnotic Trance 9 The Origins of the Gods 10 The Lost Edda of the Vanir The Lay of Freyja’s Audience with Odin The Lay of Freyja’s Cats The Lay of the Fish’s Breath The Lay of the Spittle of a Bird The Lay of the Roots of a Mountain The Lay of the Sinew of a Bear The Lay of the Beard of a Woman The Origin of the Vanir and the Power of Naming The Attack on the Vanir and the Power of Seiðr The Power of Idunn’s Plants The Power of Bragi’s Songs Idunn Is Accepted Kvasir’s Mead The Lay of Gullveig Ullr and His Inventions Óðr’s Journey and Freyja’s Pursuit Calling on Moðir Freyr’s Power of Illusion Freyr’s Journeys to Midgard Freyr’s Journeys to Jötunheimr The Power of Shape-Shifting The Lay of Gefjon and the Kings of Denmark The Lay of King Healfdene Why Baldr Didn’t Go to Griðbustaðr The Lay of Freyja and Her Daughters Idunn’s Travels to Midgard The Goddesses’ Power of Intuition Ullr’s Travels In Memory of Moðir Baldr Visits Moðir Baldr Meets Nanna The Lay of Borr and Moðir’s Dream The Lay of Borr’s Son Odin Forseti’s Blessing and Loki’s Silence Forseti’s Justice The Lay of Sloegr The Lay of Heimdallr The Lay of Ullr’s Drawings Idunn, Freyr, and the Giants Baldr Grieves Hrungnir’s Death The Lay of the Giants The Survival of the Vanir 11 The Teachings of the Vanir Epilogue Notes Glossary of Nordic Terms Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisWhy not wear something attractive that has significance for you? Jewelry, charms or a decorative piece that you have made yourself? Amulets are not difficult to make, and this book supplies all the information you need. It describes a wide variety of amulets made with gemstones, herbs, signs or words and shows you when and how to make them. No special skills are required, and it's a craft we can all enjoy and benefit from. From the earliest days of prehistory people have protected themselves with the use of amulets-objects imbued with mysterious and magical powers. Prayers, offerings and sacrifices were offered to the good spirits to grant blessings, amulets stopped the evil spirits from taking them away. Worn on the body, usually around the neck, they provided health, luck, fertility, power, success and almost any other need. When carrying an inscription, maybe pieces of parchment with scripture quotes, they can be called charms. Over the years they have come and gone in fashion but their purpose endures, and they are again increasing in popularity.Trade ReviewThis is a valuable resource. A true source book rather than just a cookbook, it allows you to be as serious about making amulets as you wish. The history of amulets is covered taking in many different cultures, not just the usual suspects. Farnell takes you through methods, materials, colours, astrological symbolism and correlations, and timing considerations for constructing your amulet, covering many levels of skill and/or available resources. You will find instructions using intricate metal work ranging to felt tip and paper. Blending practical application with theory, this is a book which you will return to again and again irrespective of your level of experience. Claire Chandler, President of the Astrological Lodge of London This is a wonderful book for those interested in learning about amulets and how to create them. It would take someone with an immense breadth and depth of knowledge in this subject to be able to present the essential details to the reader so simply and effortlessly. Farnell's expertise, gathered through her lengthy and detailed research of the symbolism underlying occult and astrological practices, makes her the ideal guide. Her knowledge is sound and her instructions are always clear and easy to follow. There is a worthy collection of historical facts that serve as a testament to Farnell's passion and involvement with this subject. But the strength of this book lies in it being one of easy access and also very well presented in its structure and internal logic. It makes an ideal reference book for anyone of a serious interest, being equally suited to beginners and experts alike. Deborah Houlding, author of The Houses: Temples of the Sky Ms Farnell is to be congratulated on this excellent book which encompasses everything anyone might conceivably want to know about charms, talismans and amulets. She has the perfect combination of skills for such an enterprise: she is a thorough historian, commanding a wide range of different cultures and epochs with ease; she writes crisp, lively prose, so that the exposition never drags; and she has a practical and commonsensical approach to her subject. This last comes particularly into play when she explains how to design and make your own amulet. Whatever your amulet-related needs - whether historical, theoretical, or practical - this book can be heartily recommended. Garry Phillipson, author of Astrology in the Year Zero

Book SynopsisThe first divination tool based on the ancient science and sacred language of geometry. · A 64-card deck with original artwork by nationally recognized visual artist Francene Hart. · Allows readers to balance their energy fields and access higher levels of consciousness. · Comprehensive guide includes spreads, card explanations, and reflective insights from a wide variety of sacred traditions. Sacred geometry is the key that unlocks all of the world's art, science, and architecture. Called the language of light, its images and shapes are embedded in DNA, mandalas, pyramids, crystals, atoms, and hieroglyphs. Anyone who has ever gazed at a spider's web, meditated on a mandala or yantra, visited a pyramid, walked a labyrinth, or peered through a microscope has felt the effects of sacred geometry. Now the SACRED GEOMETRY ORACLE DECK introduces an entirely new way for you to gain access to this wisdom and unlock its power. With splendid use of the full colour spectrum and gentle natural forms, artist Francene Hart has created potent, compelling images accessible to both advanced and novice students of divination. The accompanying text includes a detailed interpretation of each card, sample spreads, and an excellent introduction to the science of sacred geometry. Working with these images balances human energy fields, allowing readers to access higher levels of consciousness, gain insight into life's challenges, and restore their connection to the world.
