Jan Fries Homepage
Jan Fries is the author of several books and articles that deal with some very interesting free-form shamanic techniques. Jan's books include: Helrunar - a manual of Rune Magick; Seidways, - shaking, swaying and serpent mysteries; Visual Magick - a manual of freestyle shamanism; Living Midnight - three movements of the Tao. The first part of the workshop will concentrate on body trance, especially the northern tradition technique of Seidr or Seething. Here's what one of Jan's students said about this technique:
‘Seething is probably the most useful magical technique I have ever learned. I first was taken by the pleasure of it. My body felt warm and sensual, and seething in the hips felt quite sexual. I liked the feeling of my body taking over where the shaking was first voluntary - but I could still have some control, making the shaking stronger or more subtle. After a while I started to see visions - something that very rarely happens to me. I could see (with my physical eyes, not astrally!) the surface of the land in the centre of the circle rippling, like waves of energy. It was a really moving experience in a site that - until then - had not been particularly ‘special’ to me... it ..has had a major impact upon my magical work which used to be largely indoors, as at last I have found a way that I can work outdoors. This gives my magical work a potency that it simply didn’t have before.’
The second part of the workshop will concentrate on sound and musick and will include Rune Chanting, Singing and Overtoning.
Other Information: Light refreshments will be available. Its probably a good idea to wear loose fitting cloths. Please feel free to bring drums or other musical instruments.
