Chapter 8. The Making of a Seiðman 208<br />

8.2. The Sick Come By:<br />

My life, my new life, was no longer under my control. Events would occur so<br />

that I would be there just at the right time. I seem to be moved either in time or<br />

place to avoid car crashes and other accidents or I would be put in the path of an<br />

event which seemed to be occurring for my benefit. For a period of time it seemed<br />

that the hallucinations had switched places with reality. On the one hand I felt<br />

that I had very little control over my life, but on the other hand events were being<br />

guided from the outside so that I could live and grow. This is how it was when the<br />

sick began to come by.<br />

The first few who had come by were like me: their luck had either been squandered<br />

like mine or had been damaged in some way or other. There was no real<br />

ceremony or distinct method for dealing with these people. I would simply circle us<br />

around with a rope which had been given to me by a river ghost. The rope wasn’t<br />

really there to protect us as the New Age folk would try to tell me; it simply tied<br />

me together with the person that I was working with. (Actually, I don’t work inside<br />

a “circle” like Wiccans mainly because as soon as I get started, I travel – the more<br />

about that later.) After a time, a song will come up which brings the ghosts. Some<br />

of them run and get information on the client, and some of them confer with one<br />

another (and me) to determine a proper course of action. From that point on the<br />

session develops itself.<br />

I am uncomfortable using a term like “ceremony” for what I do. The word<br />

“ceremony” for me brings up visions of people droning on and on, quoting out of the<br />

books, calling on ancient names, and dealing with gods – this is not what I do. I go<br />

into a session, call on my friends to help, and from there we simply function as a<br />

team to get a job done. I have nothing to do with gods ever in my sessions. There<br />

is only me and my SWAT team of ghosts.<br />

At one point during my hallucinatory phase, the pneumonia occupation, Odin<br />

approached me and held a spear up to my heart. He offered to teach me and take<br />

me under his wing. I found this to be a frightening and repulsive thought and so I<br />

refused. He made a few minor threats and then belted out and evil sounding laugh.<br />

Before he backed up (to allow me to escape), he made one little scratch immediately<br />

below my left breast. As soon as I was able, I turned tail and ran as fast as I<br />

could. I’ve never had dealings with any gods except Thor and only then on very<br />

rare occasions. I don’t work with gods.<br />

The healing sessions which I do with the sick are always the same in format. A<br />

short diagnosis by the team of ghosts is done to assess the situation and the plan of<br />

action is drawn up. Generally, although not always, either Fly Agaric or Toloache<br />

will offer their services. It’s kind of like going to travel agent to help determine<br />

the best route to a place and to determine the best means of travel. Fly Agaric
