Carpathian 23 - Dark Storm

views on healing share much with
     the larger Eurasian shamanistic tradition. Probably the closest modern representative
     of that tradition is based in Tuva (and is referred to as “Tuvinian Shamanism”)—see
     the map on the previous page.
    The Eurasian shamanistic tradition—from the Carpathians to the Siberian shamans—held
     that illness originated in the human soul, and only later manifested as various physical
     conditions. Therefore, shamanistic healing, while not neglecting the body, focused
     on the soul and its healing. The most profound illnesses were understood to be caused
     by “soul departure,” where all or some part of the sick person’s soul has wandered
     away from the body (into the nether realms), or has been captured or possessed by
     an evil spirit, or both.
    The Carpathians belong to this greater Eurasian shamanistic tradition and share its
     viewpoints. While the Carpathians themselves did not succumb to illness, Carpathian
     healers understood that the most profound wounds were also accompanied by a similar
     “soul departure.”
    Upon reaching the diagnosis of “soul departure,” the healer-shaman is then required
     to make a spiritual journey into the netherworlds to recover the soul. The shaman
     may have to overcome tremendous challenges along the way, particularly fighting the
     demon or vampire who has possessed his friend’s soul.
    “Soul departure” doesn’t require a person to be unconscious (although that certainly
     can be the case as well). It was understood that a person could still appear to be
     conscious, even talk and interact with others, and yet be missing a part of their
     soul. The experienced healer or shaman would instantly see the problem nonetheless,
     in subtle signs that others might miss: the person’s attention wandering every now
     and then, a lessening in their enthusiasm about life, chronic depression, a diminishment
     in the brightness of their “aura,” and the like.
    2. THE LESSER HEALING CHANT OF THE CARPATHIANS
    Kepä Sarna Pus (The Lesser Healing Chant) is used for wounds that are merely physical in nature. The Carpathian healer leaves
     his body and enters the wounded Carpathian’s body to heal great mortal wounds from
     the inside out using pure energy. He proclaims, “I offer freely my life for your life,”
     as he gives his blood to the injured Carpathian. Because the Carpathians are of the
     earth and bound to the soil, they are healed by the soil of their homeland. Their
     saliva is also often used for its rejuvenative powers.
    It is also very common for the Carpathian chants (both the Lesser and the Great) to
     be accompanied by the use of healing herbs, aromas from Carpathian candles and crystals.
     The crystals (when combined with the Carpathians’ empathic, psychic connection to
     the entire universe) are used to gather positive energy from their surroundings, which
     then is used to accelerate the healing. Caves are sometimes used as the setting for
     the healing.
    The Lesser Healing Chant was used by Vikirnoff Von Shrieder and Colby Jansen to heal
     Rafael De La Cruz, whose heart had been ripped out by a vampire as described in Dark Secret .
    Kepä Sarna Pus (The Lesser Healing Chant)
    The same chant is used for all physical wounds. “Sívadaba” [“into your heart”] would
     be changed to refer to whatever part of the body is wounded.
    Kunasz, nélkül sivdobbanás, nélkül fesztelen löyly.
    You lie as if asleep, without beat of heart, without airy breath.
    Ot élidamet andam szabadon élidadért.
    I offer freely my life for your life.
    O jelä sielam jorem ot ainamet és sone ot élidadet.
    My spirit of light forgets my body and enters your body.
    O jelä sielam pukta kinn minden szelemeket belso.
    My spirit of light sends all the dark spirits within fleeing without.
    Pajnak o susu hanyet és o nyelv nyálamet sívadaba.
    I press the earth of our homeland and the spit of my tongue into your heart.
    Vii, o verim sone o verid andam.
    At last, I give you my blood for your blood.

    3. THE GREAT HEALING CHANT OF THE CARPATHIANS
    The most well-known—and most dramatic—of the Carpathian healing chants was En Sarna Pus (The Great Healing Chant) . This chant was reserved for recovering the wounded or unconscious Carpathian’s soul.
    Typically a group of men would form a circle around the sick Carpathian (to “encircle
     him with our care and
