Mark “Mystisk Ulv” Weisman
Mystisk Ulv (MYOO-steesk OOLV), “Mystic Wolf.”
I am a son of the wolf, a wanderer between worlds. My path is remembrance, not conquest—carrying the medicine of the Úlfhéðnar into this age. I walk with drum and song, runes and chants, and the land-spirits who answer when we listen.
Mark “Mystisk Ulv” Weisman is a practicing Celtic–Norse shaman, author, and on-air host whose work turns big, ancestral ideas into practical steps for ordinary days. He teaches the kind of spirituality you can use between responsibilities—breath, attention, and small rituals that help you choose the next right thing.
Today he draws on Celtic–Norse ancestral understandings to offer visual maps of the inner world—how we take in the world, shape it with imagination and memory, and learn what to feel. His “emotional recipes” model, introduced in his ebook Rewriting Your Emotional Recipes, helps people see the chain from:
- sensory input and imagination,
- through the Mood Ring (our current emotional weather),
- into the Well of the Self (beliefs, stories, and old hurts),
- through the body’s chemistry,
- across the Recipe Card of learned feelings,
- to the Me Gate, where we decide what this moment means about who we are.
He uses runes, story, and simple diagrams as tools, not theater—ways to remember that emotion is a process, not a verdict.
His language is plain, sometimes poetic, and grounded in the landscapes that formed him. He lives in Anchorage, Alaska, where weather and wilderness keep the metaphors honest.
Origins
The name came early. In those first weeks of life, his grandmother met him and called him Mystisk Ulv—mystic wolf—not to decorate him but to mark a way of moving through the world: nose to the wind, ears open, careful with tracks. He has carried it ever since.
That name is the thread that ties his shamanic work, his writing, and his on-air teaching together:
listen first, walk true, and leave something useful behind.
Books & Projects
Rewriting Your Emotional Recipes: Ancestry, Belonging, and the Emotional Patterns That Shape Your Life
A 142-page myth-infused ebook + workbook that maps how “something small” can hit like a storm. It walks readers through the full emotional recipes model and includes The Forge—a guided workbook section where real moments from daily life are traced through the chain and gently rewritten.
The Traveler’s Journey Home: Clarity in the House of Chaos (forthcoming)
A core spiritual narrative that braids years of shamanic practice, live teaching, and radio/TV conversations into one through-line: chaos isn’t the enemy; it’s a signal you can learn to read. The book pairs story with repeatable moves—breath cues, attention resets, and question prompts—so readers can carry clarity into real Tuesdays, not just on retreat.
Turn to Final (rights reverting; new edition planned)
An earlier work that approaches the same promise from the angle of navigation. Confusion is reframed as a heading problem, not a moral failure. In its upcoming retooled edition, Turn to Final will serve as a practical field manual aligned with Rewriting Your Emotional Recipes and The Traveler’s Journey Home—a bridge between spiritual insight and day-to-day decisions.
The Forge Spokes – Emotional Recipes in the Wild (in development)
A planned series of short, focused ebooks—each one a deep dive into a specific pattern such as overwhelm, grief, addiction, people-pleasing, or identity crisis. Each spoke will pair clear teaching with a mini-Forge workbook, giving readers something they can actually try before the week is over.
The Saga of the Celtic Triad (fiction, in development)
A multi-book mythic saga tracing a dragon-entity, La Songe, and a bloodline of humans across two thousand years—from the Altai mountains and early European kingdoms to pirates, wanderers, and a 1960s child who unknowingly carries the keys to an old oath. These stories are the fictional mirror of the spiritual work: the same questions about love, courage, hope, and belonging, told in myth and battle instead of diagrams.
Life & Practice
Mark does not claim to be a priest or holy man—only a working human who pays bills, loses his keys, and keeps trying to walk in a good way. Whatever authority he has comes from listening to his ancestors, testing their counsel in real life, and passing along what proves helpful. He understands his role as a messenger: called to carry certain teachings and offer them to any who may need to hear, not to stand above anyone.
As a Celtic–Norse shaman, he works with story, symbol, and season—ritual as attention with form—and treats emotion like weather to be read and navigated. The point is not performance but coherence: belonging with land, kin, and self.
His practice is sober and trauma-aware. He guides individuals, veterans, couples, and families with plain tools for hard moments and clear maps for tangled feelings. Together with those he serves, he traces how an experience moves through the inner world:
- the Mood Ring of our current state,
- the rocks and silt of the Well of the Self,
- the horn of feeling and the Recipe Card of learned emotional states,
- and the Me Gate, where we reclaim choice.
The test of any practice is simple:
Does it help a real person, on a real Tuesday, make a humane choice?
Shows & Media
Beyond the page, Mark produces and hosts several shows as another form of teaching:
- Forfædres Belysning – “Ancestral Illumination”
Weekday micro-segments built around a quick story, a usable practice, and a takeaway. - Spörgsmål Besvaret – “Questions Answered”
A weekly 30-minute Q&A where viewers’ questions set the agenda. - Samrœður – “Conversations”
A bi-weekly, 45-minute interview series with other practitioners, focused on redemption, recovery, and rejuvenation without dogma. - Hvísl Norrænna – “Whispers of the Norse”
A weekly NRTV-exclusive deep dive featuring two “grandfathers”—a Norse shaman and a Celtic druid—offering layered perspectives on spirit, story, and daily life. - TrommeCirkler – “Drum Circles”
Periodic live circles weaving rhythm, breath, and guided journeywork, giving people a direct, embodied experience of the teachings.
Some episodes are exclusive on NRTV; others live on radio, TV, or online. Each returns to the same core:
Find the breath, hear what matters, trace what’s happening inside, and act with steadiness.
Making & Teaching
Mark keeps his work intentionally lean. He writes, films, edits video, records and mixes audio, and shapes the web pieces around it, with just enough help behind the scenes to keep the path clear. That small footprint keeps the teaching close to the people who use it and lets him release on a cadence that matches listeners’ lives.
In workshops and talks, the format stays simple—story → practice → application. Sessions often include breath and body cues, language shifts that reduce spirals, and small rituals you can try before the day ends. Mark occasionally works one-to-one via brief, goal-focused calls to translate ideas into daily steps.
If it can’t be tried this week, it doesn’t go in.
Guiding convictions
- Clarity grows from attention plus repetition.
- Boundaries are a form of care.
- Hope is maintenance.
- Belonging is built at home—with people and the land you walk.
