"Beowulf's Ecstatic Trance Magic: Accessing the Archaic Powers of the Universal Mind" by Nicholas E. Brink
"Using the altered state of ecstatic trance to access the memories of the Universal Mind, Nicholas Brink takes us back to ancient Scandinavia, to the time of the epic of Beowulf, the oldest piece of literature written in the English language.

The trope we know today of the ‘evil stepmother’ was...>>
