About Shava Sadhana
Shava Sadhana is a sanskrit term meaning meditation on a dead body. The
meditating person sits down on a fresh corpse on the cremation ground
and calls for the mother Smashan Kali who dwells there with immaterial
spirits, so that she can possess the dead body and get in contact with
the meditating person.
Vingthorr, the creator of the project Shava Sadhana, travelled to
Calcutta many times on his numerous journeys to India. Calcutta, the
centre of the Kali-cult, has fascinated him since childhood and he
regards himself a servant of Mother Kali Ma. He also travelled to
Iceland several times and while studying Icelandic and Scandinavian
culture he developed an intimate bond to the old nordic Gods. Shava
Sadhana is exclusively ritualistic, worshipping both Kali Ma with
secret mantras and the Germanic Wotan/Odin. Different occult tenets,
especially those of Aleister Crowley, are also woven into his work.
Another stimulus for creativity are the journeys that the artist
Vingthorr makes by means of different psychedelic, mostly unknown
substances, which were investigated by Alexander Shulgin.
Different symbolism of runeology and old hinduistic rituals are merged
into an individual occult Shava Sadhana philosophy.
After some early demo releases, which were only made available to
friends, the first regular Shava Sadhana Album “Andask” was released by
the label “Licht von Thule”. “Andask” represents a compilation of
songs, which were composed in the last few years. Furthermore, an
exclusive remix of the song “Hel” was included on the “Neo-Form I”
online-sampler. The first live performance of Shava Sadhana took place
at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen 2006. For this event the CD “Salon Décadence”
was released which includes, amongst others, three exclusive Shava
Sadhana songs.
