The Way of Fire and Ice reimagines and grounds Norse Paganism in
today s world, providing practical information on crafting ritual,
developing personal mystical practices, and building sustainable
community. Instead of being a guide to the reconstruction of
ancient Norse religion, this material helps you participate in a
radical modern revival that integrates Norse deities and beliefs
with elements of Neopagan practice. Author Ryan Smith shares steps
you can take to begin relationships with the gods, ancestors, and
spirits of place. You will also find fascinating perspectives on
Norse cosmology, the runes, the nine worlds, and much more. Whether
you want to improve your spiritual connection in the routine
matters of daily life or want to work with bigger questions of
purpose and meaning, the ideas presented here will serve you well
on your journey.
Expanding on the radically inclusive practices presented in The Way
of Fire and Ice, this next-step book teaches you how to tap into
the forces of the Nordic cosmos. The greatest of these forces is
Wyrd, the symphony of life co-created by the actions of all beings,
from the humblest plants to the mightiest gods. Ryan Smith guides
you deep into the mysteries, where you'll discover the role of
Fate, the importance of the Nine Worlds, the Norse concept of the
self, and more. Ryan also helps you develop direct relationships
with animistic powers, commune with the dead, and cultivate your
skills in ecstatic trance journeywork. Spinning Wyrd is for
practitioners who are looking for more than the basics, who want to
develop skills in the deeper forms of mysticism associated with
Heathenry.
How does South Africa deal with public art from its years of
colonialism and apartheid? How do new monuments address fraught
histories and commemorate heroes of the struggle? Across South
Africa, statues commemorating figures such as Cecil Rhodes have
provoked heated protests, while new works commemorating icons of
the liberation struggle have also sometimes proved contentious. In
this lively volume, Kim Miller, Brenda Schmahmann and an
international group of contributors explore how works in the public
domain in South Africa serve as a forum in which
important debates about race, gender,
identity and nationhood play out. Examining statues and
memorials as well as performance, billboards, and other temporal
modes of communication, the authors of these essays consider the
implications of not only the exposure, but also erasure of events
and icons from the public domain. Revealing how public visual
expressions articulate histories and memories, they explore how
such works may serve as a forum in which tensions surrounding race,
gender, identity, or nationhood play out.
