Hardcover Print: $22.88 Heathen mysticism - having out-of-the-ordinary spiritual experiences within a Heathen (Germanic Pagan) context - can be full-blown, frequent, and intensive, or occasional and more subtle. Living with a deep knowledge of and interaction with the unseen can be hard enough, and often the gift of communion with the Holy Ones and ability to make change comes with the price of misunderstanding and difficulty finding and maintaining community.
This book seeks to present mystics with some suggestions on dealing with their own abilities in a healthy and productive manner, and how to meet the challenge of community when one is called to serve. This book also seeks to help promote positive dialogue between mystics and non-mystics, for better understanding on both sides, and hopefully more cooperation.

Print: $7.89 Download: $1.25 Ancestor worship, especially the veneration of the Idises (Disir) - the female ancestors, the guardians of the family line - seemed to be of some importance to the arch-Heathens, and is promoted as being very important in the modern revival of Heathenism. However, many modern Heathens - especially those who live outside Europe and are descended of European immigrants to the New World - find it hard to connect with their Idises. This book explores the problems with the modern veneration of ancestors, and gives some tips on making a connection with the Idises and maintaining it through prayer and ritual, for a more balanced Heathen practice.
