Title: Intensely Scholarly
Review: Blain does an excellent job of examining the shamanic aspects of Seid. She does seem to come off as mildly apologetic that an academic would be involved in such inquiries. This is most apparent in the intensity with which she qualifies and defines the various concepts addressed in _Nine_Worlds_.As the subtitle indicates, _Nine_Worlds_ focuses on the shamanic aspect of the Old Germanic Religion. It does so from a distinctly Asatru perspective. I've said many times that the 'Trar can be a bit too serious at times, and Blain is no exception. But in this case, the earnestness can be endearing. One comes away from _Nine_Worlds_ with a great deal of respect, and a bit of compassion, for Blain's intense attitude._Nine_Worlds_ is a survey of Seid shamanic practice, and in no way a how-to manual. That being said, it is a must-read for anyone interested in European Shamanism.
