Bear and Company copyrighted text.Baldr’s Magic Back Cover:Connecting 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 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 center 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 Anir, such as Freyr, Freyja, and Idunn, who came before the warrior deities of the AEsir, such as Odin, Thor and Loki. He details the epic battle of Ragnarok 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.Nicholas E. Brink, Ph.D., is a psychologist and a certified teacher of ecstatic trance with the Cuyamungue Institute. Board certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology, he is the author of The Power of Estatic Trance and lives in Coburn, Pennsylvania.Baldr’s Magic by Nicholas Brink table of contents:Acknowledgments Forward by Reverend James LawerPart One- The Universal Mind: Understanding Trance The Lost Power of the Nordic People The Powers of Ecstatic and Hypnotic Trance Nordic PosturesPart Two- The Lives of the Ancient Ones: Using Ecstatic Trance to Access Nordic Ancestors Communing with Ancestors: An Overview The Era of the Mother Goddess The Transition The Warrior and His Family Baldr’s RebirthPart Three- The Myths and Beliefs of the Ancient Ones: Learning from the Nordic God’s through Hypnotic Trance The Origins of the Gods The Lost Eddas of 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 Power of Naming The Attack on the Vanir and the Power of Seidr 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 Odr’s Journey and Freyja’s Pursuit Calling on Modir Freyr’s Power of Illusion Freyr’s Journeys to Jotunheimr The Power of Shape-Shifting The Lay of Gefjon ad the Kings of Denmark The Lay of King Haelfdene Why Baldr Didn’t Go to Gridbustadr The Lay of Freyja and Her Doughters Idunn’s Travels to Midgard The Goddesses’ Power of Intuition Ullr’s Travels In Memory of Modir Baldr Visits Modir Baldr Meets Nanna The Lay of Borr and Modir’s Dream The Lay of Borr’s Son Odin Forseti’s Blessings 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 The Teachings of the VanirEpilogue Notes Glossary of Nordic Terms Bibliography IndexStay connected with us on Twitter and Pinterest.
