Shiva is the hindi word for Lucifer, the Devil. You were right to be frightened. Also the practice you describe of 'another body' sounds completely unsafe! you don't use another soul to astral project, you use your own.
You can start by astral projecting a few feet infront of yourself. Look at something and then mentally move very close to it, you will see it magnified breifly. It is easier to remote view things that are closer to where you are.
But don't accidentally embark on some "other body" to have, only to have the Devil right there to tempt you.
Many people who aren't theosophical adopt the hindi belief of shiva being a path to holiness, it is far from it. In Australia the natives refer to it as the rainbow serpent, and those that aren't afraid become animal like, or fallen from grace etc.
be more careful.. :)
