About Lara Atwood

I am a practitioner and researcher into the ancient Religion of the Sun, and most specifically the Indo-European branch of it, which is my own native tradition. I am author of the book 'The Ancient Religion of the Sun,' - a religion that I believe is one of the most ancient in the world, and the origin of many spiritual traditions and sacred sites around the globe. I run the YouTube channel SakroSawel and the website sakrosawel.com ("sakro sawel" means "sacred sun" in the Proto-Indo European language).

Now releasing video clips

We've just released our first video "clip" on the Sakro Sawel  YouTube channel. You can find it in this post. From here on we'll be releasing clips regularly. Our first clip is all about out-of-body experiences in ancient Norse tradition, and answers the question: Did the ancestors of the Vikings practice astral projection? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sIqB9jcY2k [...]
