SPIRIT VOICE: Shamanic Singing
On
this course we work with song as a tool and source of power in our shamanic
practice. We will explore Song's ability to open the doors between the
worlds, to call power and joy, to express, heal, and release.
Magic chanting was central to and highly developed in early Nordic shamanism,
as seidr, galdr and runesongs. On the course we will be introduced to
the practise of seidr. We will use the old traditions of singing as
inspiration, and to sense the deep kinship between our songs and the
ritual use of voice in other times and cultures.
Shamanic singing does not obey the rules of acceptable singing of our
culture. Song is a wild, natural force like wind, sunshine and thunder
and singing in a shamanic way often leads to a changed state of consciousness,
where the song sings us. Therefore, it is not at all necessary to be
able to "sing" in the ordinary sense.
Participants must have completed introductory
course The Shaman's Journey or agreed
equivalent.The course is good as a next step after the
Basic Course. It is also a good introduction to the seidrwork.
