Utiseta – Norse Vision Quest – Ancient Spiritual Tradition Of Northern Europe
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The best and most straightforward way to explain Utiseta is to say it's the Norse version of the Native American vision quest.

Shamans were respected and famous for their unusual powers because they mastered seidr and possessed the ability to alter destiny.
