A3 boeken Seidr het noordse padHet oude Noordwest-Europa. Vanaf het continent druppelden doorlopend immigranten Scandinavië binnen. Ze brachten hun religieuze gewoonten, priesteressen en priesters met zich mee. Vrouwen en mannen die werden geroemd om hun kennis van verleden, heden en toekomst, hun band met het land en hun magische capaciteiten. Hun religieuze beelden worden in de loop der tijd aangeraakt door die van de al aanwezige Scandinavische volkeren: de Finnen en de nomadische Sami. In oude wetsbepalingen, de IJslandse saga"s, de Edda"s en de Noordse mythen lezen we over mysterieuze mensen, die afhankelijk van hun specialiteit onder meer vala, völva, seidkona of seidhmadr werden genoemd. En over de magie die ze uitoefenden: seidr.
Veel kennis over religie en spiritualiteit in het prechristelijke Noordwest-Europa is verloren gegaan, maar vooral in de Scandinavische landen zijn er nog sporen te vinden. Sporen die spreken van magie, tovenarij en sjamanisme. Oude wetten die handelen over vervloekingen, magische platformen en menselijke beïnvloeding van het weer. Verhalen die vertellen over de mensen die seidr bedreven. Mensen die spraken met de voorouders in hun grafheuvels, communiceerden met de landgeesten en orakelden voor de gemeenschap. Ze zaten op hoge zetels, hadden contact met het dodenrijk, werden verguisd, gevreesd en geëerd. Wie waren deze mensen? Waren het heksen, sjamanen of priester(e)s(sen)? Wat was hun band met het land? Wat deden zij precies? En wat kunnen wij van hen leren?
Voor dit boek werkte Linda Wormhoudt, sjamaniste en rituelenbegeleidster, op twee sporen. Enerzijds verzamelde ze de schaarse informatie over seidr die nog te vinden is in de Noordse proza, de historische bronnen en de archeologische informatie. Anderzijds deed ze onderzoek door ritueel, experimenteel en veldwerk op sacrale plaatsen in Noorwegen, Lapland en Nederland.
"Seidr, het Noordse pad, werken met magische en sjamanistische sporen in Noordwest-Europa" is een veelzijdig boek met naast veel historisch bronmateriaal persoonlijke ervaringen met en verslagen over oeroude rituelen en nieuwe spirituele wegen.
Het is tijd. Tijd om te kijken naar de spirituele gebruiken van onze Europese voorouders, hun wereldbeeld, hun rituelen, hun goden. In de grond onder onze voeten huist kennis over hen, in het landschap woont nog de oude magie. Noordwest-Europa is een schatkist vol wijsheid en die schatkist staat open voor hen die zich willen verbinden met hun wortels en met het land.

would have been better as a blog
Format: Paperback
First off, I have read over half of this book, but ultimately decided to put it down because it had a low signal-to-noise ratio. If the second half is filled with magic, I apologize in advance.
What I liked:
* The author is very honest. He does not shy away from discussing his failures (and successes).
* The postmortem on the game "Life of Pixel" was especially good.
* Interviews from various indie studios are sprinkled throughout.
What I did not like:
* A number of pieces of information were already out-of-date. This makes me think that the concepts should have been discussed at a higher level. For example, specifics about game engine costs are discussed. These numbers have changed since E3 of this year. Definitely recheck any information before formulating a plan based on the book's recommendations.
* The indie studio interviews are a wasted opportunity in that they each interview has the same set of questions. It's like a questionnaire was sent out via email and the responses were pasted into the book.
* When discussing commercial options, such as engines or other software packages, blurbs once again appear to be cut-and-pasted (this time verbatim from the package's web site).
* Some of the advice is too broad and too light. For example, when writing about how to create a press release, the author discuss how to write in the active voice. I'm frankly not looking for writing tips in my Indie Game Developer Handbook.
* The book is filled with tons of web links. My paperback copy was not so useful here.
I ultimately left the book with the impression that the information would have been much better in the form of a blog. The author could have really gone in depth with the parts of the book that shined while keeping the surveys of topics in a form that serves them better (i.e. web links on the web).

Helpful information and Questions to consider
Format: Paperback
As a writer of science fiction and fantasy I had already looked into the physical aspects of the worlds I was creating, but I quickly realized I needed to include society and culture in the worldbuilding. I started a search for information, questionairres, or guidelines to use and found very little that would be helpful to me as a writer. Until I came across this book. It's exactly what I needed. It touches on multiple aspects of beliefs and practices and asks questions to help you think through what you want for your worlds, even if it's mostly backgroud. A very useful tool.
