Huginn and Muninn his Ravens represents thought and memory from the cosmic consciousness / unified field. Odin the single eyed God is the Pineal Gland. The pineal sits in the third ventricle of the brain > the fiery furnace.
Heilung means "healing". They've stated that their music is meant to unite all peoples within a sense of the primitive divine. I love them so much! Their live shows are intense- the entire floor shakes with the drum beats and the blaring horns make your soul feel like it's vibrating.
To quote Jurassic Park: "You cant just supress sixty-five million years of primal evolution" We've only been technologically advanced for 200'ish years, and medieval for 2000'ish. There's a good reason we get so affected by this "primitive" stuff, it's still deep in the core of our brains, and it'll stay there for another million years largely unchanged. We're the same flesh and blood as these ancient people.

You are on the right track! This is supposed to represent facing the Romans in Battle of the Teutoburg Forest which was a military battle that took place in the year 9 AD. In the battle, an alliance of Germanic tribes and called Barbarians by theRomans and won a major victory over three Roman legions.
I have been waiting for someone to discover and react to Heilung. They categorize their music as amplified history and sing in a mixture of old Norse, ancient Germanic and Latin so you feel the music rather than worry about lyrics. Their name translated means healing and when they perform they call it a healing ritual, not a concert. Alfadhirhaiti is from their first album which was based in the masculine. The chanting in Alfahhirhaiti is all the names for Odin, the highest Norse god. They released Futha last year which pays tribute to the feminine and if you seek out one of their interviews, Maria Franz reveals what Futha translated means. I can't type it here, but it is definitely female! A great follow up to this is their live performance of Traust. th-cam.com/video/i_uiI5LAlYI/w-d-xo.html Edited to say because of this, you got another subscriber!
Odin = The AllFather. He mentions Geri and Freki and Sleipner. We have lost our primal consciousness. The shield-shaker, the Frenzied one, The sounds of his Ravens, Hugin and Munin. (“thought and Memory”). It awakens the listener.

They're invoking their god. It's powerful. They named their weapons so they would be a part of them. Their spears, shields, amulets, swords all had names and were consecrated to their gods.
In this musical theme, they first invoke Geri and Freki, the two wolves that accompany the god Odin, with howls. Their names mean Ravenous and Greedy in Old Norse. After they recite the invocation phrases, I shout this spear, I scream loudly. Then the ravens of Odin, Hugin and Munin, are invoked, who traveled the world observing everything and giving news. At the end they all invoke Odin repeating all the names by which the god is known until reaching ecstasy, preparing for battle. Mighty of the court, the wise, the dear, the one who talks to wolves, the welcome, the pale, the god of desires, inspiring, chief, red-haired, hooded, wand-bearer, famous lord, god of the hanged, wanderer of the mist, the needy, father of Yule, the tall one, rider on the attack, father of all, tree of victory, the one with the lost eye, who throws the spear, shining eye, throws a shaking shield, leader of the people the one with knowledge, bearer of cloak, keeper of secrets, the terrible, the stormy. Also at the beginning of the song the horse of the god Odin is invoked. A hug.

I got to see Heilung live in January this year in NYC. I wasn't sure I'd ever get the chance, and it didn't disappoint. My friend put it best: it wasn't a concert, it was a ceremony. Every time I show them to someone new, they think they are angry, but their name does mean healing. Their drum beats and songs inspires me whenever I put them on. I hope they upload some live videos of their newest album and songs, because I think you'd love some of them like 'Elddansurin'!
Hope to see you react to this whole LIFA show! The LIFA show loosely tells a story of a village having to go to war. Love your reactions to Heilung! Thanks!
This is my culture. Heilung represents the ancient ancestors that myself and many people like myself have. Heilung is great, and I am glad you enjoy. SKOL from one to another. Let us enjoy.
I attended the ritual (they don't do gigs or concerts) in London last year and the bird song is present throughout. Instead of having pre-recorded music playing through the PA before they started, it was birdsong, wind noises and other sounds of nature. The performance begins and ends with someone cleansing the stage, gear and audience with sage. Even though we were in the middle of a big city, it was as though we'd been transported back to a forest clearing in the pre-Christian era. It was a very emotional and spiritual experience.
I prepare for every day by sitting silently listening to Traust and Hamrer Hippyer always finds its way onto my morning drive playlist. It's like a tether to our ancient human ancestry. Cuts out all of the bull and noise and complication and drama and reminds us of our nature.
in "IN MAIDJAN" (th-cam.com/video/kmWTZ3KfnXE/w-d-xo.html ) from the same show, you will hear the amazing voice and voice control of Maria Franz, you have to listen to the end 12 min 33 sec. In Madjan is used as a theme in the video-game "Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 @
History is crazy. This sight and sound of the band on this event is intimidating. Now imagine being back in this time period, facing a group of warriors chanting in full gear at your group. 10/10 would shit pants, not gonna lie.
You are the only person who reacted to Heilung and actuallty looked up the TRANSLATION!!! God Damn!!! Not only I enjoyed the reaction I also learned from it!! Please so more of these!!!
Seek them out. They are amazing and Maria Franz's voice reaches into your soul. This is from their first album which was highly masculine based. Last year, they released Futha which pays tribute to the feminine, but it is in no way tame. They call their music amplified history and their name translated means Healing.
The lyrics come from the poetic edda and is about Odin, the All Father, God of Gods, the highest of the Aesir. Odin gave up an eye to see into the future and gain knowledge and hung himself on the tree, Yggdrasil, and remained there until the runes came to him. He moves in and out of realms disguised as many men but often depicted in a cloak and a hat. Among many other things that can describe Odin, this song does him Justice.
Just imagine you're walking alone in the forest and the wolves and trees themselves start singing and harmonizing. You realize you have intruded in something ancient and real.
Translations pretty good. It’s about the Norse god Odin and his many names. He is well known as the king of the gods in that pantheon, and known to be very morally grey, cruel, dangerous and wise. A lord of victory and death.
At the end of one of their videos, I don't remember which, they wrote the following, "Remember that we all are brothers. All people, beasts, tree and stone and wind. We all descend from the one great being that was always there. Before people lived and named it, before the first seed sprouted." When I quoted that directly on the video it is posted in, I got hate from white supremacist groups for months after, even though it is right there on the video. It's so sad that white supremacists have tainted this music and culture with their poison. They spit in the face of everything their ancestors were.
Yeah, they're always trying to get their grubby little hands on everything. Block and ignore. Don't let weirdos dissuade you from media you love, especially when the creators themselves are adamantly not supporting that bullshit.
I love it when India does Heilung. Our good Christian mother has a Viking soul oh yes. India you may not have the historical background knowledge about this culture but clearly from the very first Heilung you reacted to it was clear that you instinctively understood it. You are a star.
An earlier poster used the word primal which is why India has such a reaction to it. Primal is basic instincts all the way back to the animals. It does transcend race, colour and region. This is about the Norse All Father Odin. But beneath that runs a culture which is all about tribal warfare. Survival of the fittest yes. But is that really a good thing. Back in the day this harks to they would kill or starve the sick disabled and injured. If you could not contribute to the tribe then you were seen as a burden. If you had status and respect then you would be killed outright. If you were only a woman cooking food and cleaning up then you would be denied food and water and left out in the cold to die. This is the culture which ultimately led to Nazism.
You were on point when you said they put you in the wilderness with them. It’s so amazing to experience. Imagine being there in the crowd watching that.
I adore Heilung and everything they stand for, and they’re absolute class as people as well! If you or anyone who hasn’t already seen them, ever has the chance, I absolutely recommend seeing them live, it is a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. Breathtaking experience 🔥
The song is dedicated to the Germanic deity most commonly known as Odin, from the Viking Era, but is likely one and the same as the Proto-Germanic Wodanaz, which developed many names throughout the numerous Germanic tribes ranging from Woden, to Othan, to Oden, etc. Although his name is likely derived from something akin to "The Inspired One", he seems to have been largely associated with war and death during the more polytheistic days of the Germans, before ascending to a near Henotheistic status as more and more attributes were associated with him. Aside from being a deity closely associated with the persuit of wisdom and magic, (which he plucked out his eye and hanged himself in exchange for), he is also associated with omens, (messages of wisdom), war, storms, (also an ancient association), and is the collector of honorable souls. That being said, Woden was as ominous as he was revered and he, along with Tiwaz or Tyr, seems to have also been honored by human sacrifice, including captured enemy soldiers, cowards and poor fighters, and even virgins or sons. The sounds of crows and wolves are also associated with Woden, as his two crows acted as scouts and information gatherers, and his two wolves are suspected to represent his more warlike traits. Admittedly most of what we know about him is from the Viking Age of later and is rather scant, but by piecing together bits from Old English, Gothic accounts, and Latin encounters, it seems evident that the Germanic peoples, while poor and fairly primitive, retained a stable religious system. As for the ominous, deep, and gutteral sound within the music... well, that's Germanic and a lot of throat singing for you. Then again, the Germans were the most feared force of the Old World, save for the Huns, although the former outlasted the latter, so it is only natural that the Germanic deity of war, death, dark forests, hidden wisdom, and omens is remembered in a ceremony that is as beautiful as it is disturbing.
God of the Hanged is a reference to Odin, who hanged himself upside down in the tree of life, to splinter into countless parts, (us, humans, animals, trees, the sun, the earth), to experience life from all sides. Peace!
Draupnir (Dripper, the magic ring of Odin that on every ninth night has eight equally heavy rings drip off it. It's a symbol of wealth and abundance) Geri, Freki (Greedy and Ravenous, Odin's two wolves) Sleipnir (Slippy or the Slippery One, Odin's eight-legged steed that was said to slide across the sky as easily as across the plains or sea) Gugnir (The Swaying One, Odin's spear that never misses and always returns to the thrower's hand when thrown) First chant is "Hail, Hail, Hail I dedicate to the spear - Gagaga, Gagaga, Gagaga I yell resoundingly!" Haugen, Maunen (Hugin and Munin, Thought and Memory, Odin's two ravens he sents out to be his eyes and ears in the world) Rest of the chant are the Allfather's many many names. I found a really nice page that translates it neatly and here is the link: lyricstranslate.com/en/%E1%9A%A8%E1%9B%9A%E1%9A%A0%E1%9A%A8%E1%9B%9E%E1%9A%BA%E1%9B%81%E1%9A%B1%E1%9A%BA%E1%9A%A8%E1%9B%81%E1%9B%8F%E1%9B%81-alfadhirhaiti-hes-called-allfather.html
Did u guys see the Native American tribes participated when they toured here? Chills! All of our ancestors were beautiful and powerful no matter where on the planet they were from. It’s speaks to all of us and the beauty of our ancestors and traditions.
I love your reactions on Heilung. I have seen the band 4 times live already and every gig is a sjamanic ritual from start to end.... Btw - Heilung means healing....
It is pronounced more like "high-loong" but Alfadhirhaiti (Names of the All-Father) is invoking Odin, the All-Father. It mentions his ring, Draupnir, his mount, Sleipnir, his spear, Gugnir, as well as his wolves, Geri and Freki (Greedy and Ravenous), and his ravens, Hugin and Munin (Thought and Memory) before giving all his names (Ok, Alfadhir heitir "And he's called All-Father"). And Odin was/is known by many, many names and faces and roles.
When I listen to this band, it fills me with a need to move, and not just dance. I mean throw fists, thrash around, scream and let out all of my aggression and pent up energy that I keep inside because, well, obviously people would not look on that pleasantly hahah! XD But damn, it's hard not to feel like a primal beast listening to these gods perform this song!
I really like your enthusiasm with this, i love you even, you really seem genuinely interested, yes it was a warrior culture and captured parts of Brittain and France, then integrated with time. Even for a danish, norwegian, icelandic or german, this is incomprehensible, this is an extinct viking language, one of them may gone to university to study this, and then we have the ancient instruments to learn, this is pretty impressive even for a Scandinavian, happy to show the world this as its part of all our common history, vikings sailed to U.S and Africa before any could document it, this could fit the year 600 to 900 before christianity wich came around year 1000, greetings from demark /hug
Faun: Hekate, Walpurgisnacht, Rosenrot, Tanz Mit Mir, Wilde Rose. Oonagh: Das Mädchen und die Liebe, Das Mädchen und der Tod, Gäa, Tanz Mit mir (different song from the other Tanz mit mir).
The recitation is of some (I stress some) of the names of the God Odin. They start by calling out his Wolves, Freki and Geri, who stride at his side. They then call on his Ravens, Hunnin and Munnin, Thought and Memory, who he sends out everyday to report on the deeds of man. They call out his Ring, Glaupnir, which drips gold rings each day. His Spear, Gugnir, which strikes true. His horse, Sleipnir, the 8 legged beast that never tires and can ride over everything. We then get a few of Odins names. Grimm, All Father, Old One Eye, Blind Guest, Hanged One, Glad of War etc. Odin as the Chief God oversees all the 9 realms. He is not fully immortal however and is doomed to die. He gave his eye whilst hanging himself from the Tree of Life to know this future. He also learnt all the known magics at the same time including the Runes. Most people think that Thor is the greatest god and rules Valhalla, it is in fact Odin who is the mightiest and the owner of Valhalla. Thor has his own Hall where farmers go. Odin is not a God easily swayed nor can he be bribed. He expects you to live and die well that is all.
The first few lines of the song refer to some of Odin's allies/belongings. Including Sleipnir, the six legged horse, Geri and Freki, his wolves, Draupnir, the magic ring that copies itself every 9 days, and Gungnir, his magical spear that never misses.
This is one of my favorite bands. I am also a pagan witch and listen to lots of bands and singers like this. I love their stuff it really digs deep into your bones, it calls to your dna and soul. When I listen to their stuff outside. I live in a camper surrounded by woods on 16 acres of land. So I can enjoy the forest when I go to pray. I talk to the forest spirit's and trees. It's like praying for me. I use this music for meditation.
Love your reactions! I love hearing different races and etnicities (other than whitey) give their take on stuff like this. I guess I find it interesting because it's not their cultural heritage per se, BUT... it inspires the same feelings of primal awe, ... because deep down we all have tribal ancestors, and some of us have lost our roots long ago, while others more recently, and (the lucky ones) not at all.
Not many people react to this song, but of the ones who have you hit closest to the mark with the lyrics. The song is a devotion to the god Odin, and the sedond part of the song is a nowhere-near-complete list of his names.
So many have lost their sense of the primal. There's a reason this feels good.

in "IN MAIDJAN" (th-cam.com/video/kmWTZ3KfnXE/w-d-xo.html ) from the same show, you will hear the amazing voice and voice control of Maria Franz, you have to listen to the end 12 min 33 sec. In Madjan is used as a theme in the video-game "Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 @
Ahhh yes! The ancient nordic version of the ABC's (runes)..haha..I love that song!
It's beautiful how we can share all of this together. I've come across Heilung too, not that long ago! Love them all!
Great video.
History is crazy. This sight and sound of the band on this event is intimidating. Now imagine being back in this time period, facing a group of warriors chanting in full gear at your group. 10/10 would shit pants, not gonna lie.
You are the only person who reacted to Heilung and actuallty looked up the TRANSLATION!!! God Damn!!!
Not only I enjoyed the reaction I also learned from it!! Please so more of these!!!
IN MAIDJAN - Heilung. The female vocals are so powerful.
The vocalist owns “NordicTattoo”, the oldest Nordic tattoo studio.
-> see tattoo.dk :-) I was there in august to get my first tattoos (with 40) and definitely not the last time i'm there.
First time hearing them! ....What a trip! Thank you!!
Seek them out. They are amazing and Maria Franz's voice reaches into your soul. This is from their first album which was highly masculine based. Last year, they released Futha which pays tribute to the feminine, but it is in no way tame. They call their music amplified history and their name translated means Healing.
Powerful song / band.
Your reaction... made the video twice the fun. Thank you, subbed !
The lyrics come from the poetic edda and is about Odin, the All Father, God of Gods, the highest of the Aesir.
Odin gave up an eye to see into the future and gain knowledge and hung himself on the tree, Yggdrasil, and remained there until the runes came to him. He moves in and out of realms disguised as many men but often depicted in a cloak and a hat. Among many other things that can describe Odin, this song does him Justice.
My Norse DNA wakes up when this plays. Similar reaction when I hear didgeridoo, bagpipes. The HU are also similar from Mongolia.
This is your intro into Shamanic music!
So dope that you react to this! You're awesome!
Just imagine you're walking alone in the forest and the wolves and trees themselves start singing and harmonizing. You realize you have intruded in something ancient and real.
All hail Odin, the Allfather
YES!!!!! HEILUNG!!!! Thank you so much for posting this!
Oh my, you discovered Heilung.
The audience is totally participating! Wow! Gobsmacked.
Translations pretty good. It’s about the Norse god Odin and his many names. He is well known as the king of the gods in that pantheon, and known to be very morally grey, cruel, dangerous and wise. A lord of victory and death.
This song is describing Odin the All-Father.
At the end of one of their videos, I don't remember which, they wrote the following, "Remember that we all are brothers. All people, beasts, tree and stone and wind. We all descend from the one great being that was always there. Before people lived and named it, before the first seed sprouted." When I quoted that directly on the video it is posted in, I got hate from white supremacist groups for months after, even though it is right there on the video. It's so sad that white supremacists have tainted this music and culture with their poison. They spit in the face of everything their ancestors were.
exactly! nazis deserve no space. fuck nazis.
Yeah, they're always trying to get their grubby little hands on everything. Block and ignore. Don't let weirdos dissuade you from media you love, especially when the creators themselves are adamantly not supporting that bullshit.
Sounds like another group as well, not just white supremacists.
@@mrman2062 A lot of different groups I'm sure, but all under the same umbrella of racists and xenophobes cosplaying as vikings.
Hail old Europa! Europa pagana!
Played this right before my fighting matches. It literally woke up the relentless warrior in me.
I love it when India does Heilung.
Our good Christian mother has a Viking soul oh yes. India you may not have the historical background knowledge about this culture but clearly from the very first Heilung you reacted to it was clear that you instinctively understood it. You are a star.
An earlier poster used the word primal which is why India has such a reaction to it. Primal is basic instincts all the way back to the animals. It does transcend race, colour and region. This is about the Norse All Father Odin. But beneath that runs a culture which is all about tribal warfare. Survival of the fittest yes. But is that really a good thing. Back in the day this harks to they would kill or starve the sick disabled and injured. If you could not contribute to the tribe then you were seen as a burden. If you had status and respect then you would be killed outright. If you were only a woman cooking food and cleaning up then you would be denied food and water and left out in the cold to die. This is the culture which ultimately led to Nazism.
kudos. love this video and its crazy that so many people love norse music. shouting from south africa
Wait until you hear "Hamrer Hippyer" from that concert. It's like techno without the tech. Absolutely mindblowing
thank you for appreciating this so much. this just goes to show how powerful cultural roots can span!
You were on point when you said they put you in the wilderness with them. It’s so amazing to experience. Imagine being there in the crowd watching that.
I adore Heilung and everything they stand for, and they’re absolute class as people as well! If you or anyone who hasn’t already seen them, ever has the chance, I absolutely recommend seeing them live, it is a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. Breathtaking experience 🔥
Just seeing your reaction and the open genuine excitement, I hope you get the experience to see them live
“No matter who they’re against, they’re gonna win.”

I love your hair and your reaction:) subbed
So glad you’re enjoying Heilung. Germanic is part of my history. Love everything about this group.
This kicks ass
The song is dedicated to the Germanic deity most commonly known as Odin, from the Viking Era, but is likely one and the same as the Proto-Germanic Wodanaz, which developed many names throughout the numerous Germanic tribes ranging from Woden, to Othan, to Oden, etc. Although his name is likely derived from something akin to "The Inspired One", he seems to have been largely associated with war and death during the more polytheistic days of the Germans, before ascending to a near Henotheistic status as more and more attributes were associated with him. Aside from being a deity closely associated with the persuit of wisdom and magic, (which he plucked out his eye and hanged himself in exchange for), he is also associated with omens, (messages of wisdom), war, storms, (also an ancient association), and is the collector of honorable souls.
That being said, Woden was as ominous as he was revered and he, along with Tiwaz or Tyr, seems to have also been honored by human sacrifice, including captured enemy soldiers, cowards and poor fighters, and even virgins or sons. The sounds of crows and wolves are also associated with Woden, as his two crows acted as scouts and information gatherers, and his two wolves are suspected to represent his more warlike traits. Admittedly most of what we know about him is from the Viking Age of later and is rather scant, but by piecing together bits from Old English, Gothic accounts, and Latin encounters, it seems evident that the Germanic peoples, while poor and fairly primitive, retained a stable religious system.
As for the ominous, deep, and gutteral sound within the music... well, that's Germanic and a lot of throat singing for you. Then again, the Germans were the most feared force of the Old World, save for the Huns, although the former outlasted the latter, so it is only natural that the Germanic deity of war, death, dark forests, hidden wisdom, and omens is remembered in a ceremony that is as beautiful as it is disturbing.
I just love your reactions to Heilung!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
God of the Hanged is a reference to Odin, who hanged himself upside down in the tree of life, to splinter into countless parts, (us, humans, animals, trees, the sun, the earth), to experience life from all sides. Peace!
Less than 20 seconds into the video and already started to watch the song. I like how there is no BS, just straight to the point of the video lol
Each time I listen to this band I feel like a primal side of me is awakened. It's the good shiiiit!
Saw them just before COVID lockdown , their music kept me in the real world
I'm watching this on a thursday - Praise Thor, for today is his day!
Tuesday= Tyra day, Friday=Freys Day, Wednessday= Odins Day, in Danish Onsdag= Odins dag, German Odin =Wotan Ssxon=Woden= Wednessday.
Draupnir (Dripper, the magic ring of Odin that on every ninth night has eight equally heavy rings drip off it. It's a symbol of wealth and abundance)
Geri, Freki (Greedy and Ravenous, Odin's two wolves)
Sleipnir (Slippy or the Slippery One, Odin's eight-legged steed that was said to slide across the sky as easily as across the plains or sea)
Gugnir (The Swaying One, Odin's spear that never misses and always returns to the thrower's hand when thrown)
First chant is "Hail, Hail, Hail I dedicate to the spear - Gagaga, Gagaga, Gagaga I yell resoundingly!"
Haugen, Maunen (Hugin and Munin, Thought and Memory, Odin's two ravens he sents out to be his eyes and ears in the world)
Rest of the chant are the Allfather's many many names.
I found a really nice page that translates it neatly and here is the link:

It's an oath to the old gods
I am so glad you did this song. I knew you would eventually do these artists. Phenomenal!
Did u guys see the Native American tribes participated when they toured here? Chills! All of our ancestors were beautiful and powerful no matter where on the planet they were from. It’s speaks to all of us and the beauty of our ancestors and traditions.
This is my very favorite from Heilung. It is absolutely undefinable what it is doing with me.... it really goes very deep
All hail the Allfather, who sacrificed himself unto himself, gaveth of his eye for knowledge of the runes, who hung from the World Tree.
ALL HAIL.
ODINNNN!!!
I love your reactions on Heilung. I have seen the band 4 times live already and every gig is a sjamanic ritual from start to end.... Btw - Heilung means healing....
It is pronounced more like "high-loong" but Alfadhirhaiti (Names of the All-Father) is invoking Odin, the All-Father. It mentions his ring, Draupnir, his mount, Sleipnir, his spear, Gugnir, as well as his wolves, Geri and Freki (Greedy and Ravenous), and his ravens, Hugin and Munin (Thought and Memory) before giving all his names (Ok, Alfadhir heitir "And he's called All-Father"). And Odin was/is known by many, many names and faces and roles.
They are All the names of Ødin the All father
Get your viking on babe. Traditional old Norse Viking instruments
Love hearing the chant, gets me pumped.
When I listen to this band, it fills me with a need to move, and not just dance. I mean throw fists, thrash around, scream and let out all of my aggression and pent up energy that I keep inside because, well, obviously people would not look on that pleasantly hahah! XD But damn, it's hard not to feel like a primal beast listening to these gods perform this song!
I really like your enthusiasm with this, i love you even, you really seem genuinely interested, yes it was a warrior culture and captured parts of Brittain and France, then integrated with time.
Even for a danish, norwegian, icelandic or german, this is incomprehensible, this is an extinct viking language, one of them may gone to university to study this, and then we have the ancient instruments to learn, this is pretty impressive even for a Scandinavian, happy to show the world this as its part of all our common history, vikings sailed to U.S and Africa before any could document it, this could fit the year 600 to 900 before christianity wich came around year 1000, greetings from demark /hug
I like your react,i suppose you not know nordic(ancestral)spirit,but u jump into the vibes immédiatly!and appreciate in your eyes!great
Faun: Hekate, Walpurgisnacht, Rosenrot, Tanz Mit Mir, Wilde Rose.
Oonagh: Das Mädchen und die Liebe, Das Mädchen und der Tod, Gäa, Tanz Mit mir (different song from the other Tanz mit mir).
Respect from a Mercian Saxon India, skol!!
Óðinn á ykkur öll
Odin owns you all. Wonderful reaction!
Pronounced "high-lung" Heilung rocks! You should check out Hakkerskaldyr.
The recitation is of some (I stress some) of the names of the God Odin. They start by calling out his Wolves, Freki and Geri, who stride at his side. They then call on his Ravens, Hunnin and Munnin, Thought and Memory, who he sends out everyday to report on the deeds of man. They call out his Ring, Glaupnir, which drips gold rings each day. His Spear, Gugnir, which strikes true. His horse, Sleipnir, the 8 legged beast that never tires and can ride over everything.
We then get a few of Odins names. Grimm, All Father, Old One Eye, Blind Guest, Hanged One, Glad of War etc.
Odin as the Chief God oversees all the 9 realms. He is not fully immortal however and is doomed to die. He gave his eye whilst hanging himself from the Tree of Life to know this future. He also learnt all the known magics at the same time including the Runes.
Most people think that Thor is the greatest god and rules Valhalla, it is in fact Odin who is the mightiest and the owner of Valhalla. Thor has his own Hall where farmers go.
Odin is not a God easily swayed nor can he be bribed. He expects you to live and die well that is all.
The first few lines of the song refer to some of Odin's allies/belongings. Including Sleipnir, the six legged horse, Geri and Freki, his wolves, Draupnir, the magic ring that copies itself every 9 days, and Gungnir, his magical spear that never misses.
This is one of my favorite bands.
I am also a pagan witch and listen to lots of bands and singers like this. I love their stuff it really digs deep into your bones, it calls to your dna and soul. When I listen to their stuff outside. I live in a camper surrounded by woods on 16 acres of land. So I can enjoy the forest when I go to pray. I talk to the forest spirit's and trees. It's like praying for me. I use this music for meditation.
Love your reactions!
I love hearing different races and etnicities (other than whitey) give their take on stuff like this. I guess I find it interesting because it's not their cultural heritage per se, BUT... it inspires the same feelings of primal awe, ... because deep down we all have tribal ancestors, and some of us have lost our roots long ago, while others more recently, and (the lucky ones) not at all.
Not many people react to this song, but of the ones who have you hit closest to the mark with the lyrics. The song is a devotion to the god Odin, and the sedond part of the song is a nowhere-near-complete list of his names.
These songs are meant to bring about a spiritual sense from the beating drum to the repetitive words.....you can feel it rise up in you.
one of my favs, so good live headbanging was invented to this, i would be wary of translations as a lot of the older words are up for debate
I love seeing someone enjoying new music so much.
The All-Father's (Óðinn) Wolves: Huginn and Munnin. Great share, thank you. Heilung Odin!!
