Loki: Tales of the Iron Forest. The Shaman's Road, or Journey to the World of Shadows 4003

We set out on a journey to the world where shadows live, — the world of the dead. The shadow knows how to pass where there are no roads and where in any other circumstances you would be lost among other unfortunate souls. It knows about you what you hide from yourself, it will teach you to accept your duality and walk all the roads of all worlds, not just those that are considered 'allowed'.

If you try hard enough, you will learn not only to enter the world of Shadows on your own, but also to return back. And if you get lost along the way, I will teach you to read the runes in a way that others cannot. And you will be able to see the way back by them, just as you can read any book afterwards, even if it is unwritten or written half with words and half with silence, which, in the opinion of most, is impossible to read. I offer you to stop being the majority and to become yourself. I offer you to undergo Initiation.
