Further musings on the Court of Sif rite

[uberrod]

I bought the book Trance-portation by Diana Paxson. I also bought Seidr, the Gate is Open by Katie Gerrard. I'm reading Seidr to get further ideas for the Court of Sif rite. It's a really good book and I already see much that can be used for the Order of Raven and Falcon (an order dedicated to Odin and Freyja) further down the road

I am not sure why some people think that rapid drumming is good for trancing. The shamanic workshops I had attended before had a someone slower pace (1x per second, to approximate 60 bpm heart rate) and only used the faster drumming as a cue to start to come out of the journey. When I'm in a journey where they used the faster drumming, I generally go nowhere.

Apparently 4 beats per second has some sort of brain sync thing.

But yeah, I find it too fast too.

I will have my drum, if you'd still like to have drumming :) I will do my very best to stay grounded if you'd like me to do that part.

I appreciate the offer! However I wouldn't want you to miss out on the working part of the ritual.
