Edred Thorsson's stuff is quite good too, but keep a weather eye for low flying Satanism.

You say that like it's a bad thing. ~Winks~

Come now- really, while there is a lot of conflict between Asatru and Satanism, the concepts (save for the Theistic v. Atheistic) aren't that exclusive.

I think the Havamal might have even been on Anton's bookshelf.

Quote:

And Shamanic concepts, while needing association to culture; if the concept is the same, then would it really matter what it was called? As long as the principles stay in tact?

Not all shamanic traditions have the same concepts or ideas at all. Each culture has a vastly different ideas of the composition of the spirit realm and humans' interactions with it.

aside from the fact that shamanism was used to define practices in Russia, i believe...

Yep. The word is Russian used to describe indigenous practises in Siberia. However, because several other cultures around the world had developed similar practises the word became used to describe them as well. Thus some South American and Inuit practises are also called shamanism, even though they never came from Siberia.

I know they were evil, but this takes the cake.

Why not just pass out the ATC tracks?

I'm not sure if I should be surprised or not that Patrick Dunn's Postmodern Magic hasn't been mentioned yet, but it's an excellent book.

I dunno, the books that are essays rather than 101 books look sorta interesting.

Actually, those arent accurately called Shamanism.
They are Shamanic (shamanism like) practices, but are not actually Shamanism. They have their own cultural names and practitioner titles.
