Produktbeschreibung
'Vegvísir' is the name of a famous Icelandic magical sign. It means 'signpost' or 'guide', and that is exactly what this book is. In this outstanding new volume, a follow-up to "Icelandic Magic: Aims, Tools and Techniques of the Icelandic Sorcerers" (Avalonia 2015), Christopher Alan Smith goes a step further and teaches how to apply these techniques in your life for success, wealth, contentment, or whatever it is that you fervently wish for. Beginning with a devastating attack on the frivolities and anxieties of the modern world, he guides you, chapter by chapter, towards alignment with mythic reality and the development of latent skills that you always had but never realised. Based on nearly 50 years of magical practice and with an empathy born of experience, the author patiently encourages you to inherit the abilities that are yours by right, and challenges you to make use of these. There are many people in the world, all mortal. Will you be one of those who prove themselves somewhat more than mortal: the seed of the gods? *** "Personally, I think of magic as the art and science of changing the Narrative. Narrative is not just a matter of idly telling stories; it is a powerful force in its own right, exerting itself through mythic reality, in ancient folktales, and in the story you tell yourself, day in, day out." - C.A. Smith in VEGVÍSIR

Autorenporträt
Christopher Alan Smith (b. 1954) has been a practising magician for all of his adult life. As a child, he was deeply drawn to tales of magic and mysticism and, at the age of 19, when a student at Sheffield University, he discovered his first books on practical magic. Following the initial fervour of graduating with an upper second in Political Theory and Institutions, he found himself faced with a philosophical crisis. Turning to occult philosophy for answers, he radically questioned everything that he had been taught to believe. In doing so, he found the old Gods of England. At first espousing Wicca (and founding a coven in North Yorkshire), he soon became drawn to the path of Woden, the one-eyed wanderer ever in search of knowledge, and the patron of sorcery. After many years of isolated searching and practice, Christopher joined the Rune Gild in 2006. He presented his Master-work and he was raised to the status of a Master of the Gild at Yule 2014. That Master-work formed the basis of the present book, now followed by "Vegvisir" (Avalonia, 2022). Christopher now has many careers behind him. For the past twenty-four years, he has been a freelance translator, and continues to operate as such. He has travelled extensively, covering many countries from Iceland to South Africa, and from Turkey to Chile. However, he counts being a father as his greatest achievement, having co-created a wonderful son and a wonderful daughter. His experience as a father has, perhaps, shaped him more than anything else, and it may be why many now refer to him as 'Uncle Wednesday'.
