"So the've also set fire in background like in hell?" Actualy Helheim (or just Hel) was a cold and dark place in norse mythology. And there was no fire or brimstone there at all. This was the afterlife for those who died from sickness or old age (not died in battle) Remeber that we lived in a cold and dark part of the earth, so for our anchestors the cold represents death, while fire and heat represent life. While in cultures in warmer countries with a lot hotter climate the burning sun can be death, and a shade be the good thing keeping you alive.
To be fair, I don't think we can tell these people "remember". They barely knew what Norway was :) But yes, the Abrahamitic version of hell is not the same as Hel.
More familiar with German mythology (so pretty much Norse in an earlier version as we got christianized earlier) and a common thing in it is to believe that the dead are living inside of mountains, so maybe that is the origin of this conception of hell being filled with fire and brimstone which was emphasized by the christian church to foster conversion by making the world of the dead in the indigenous religion seem undesirable compared to the heaven itself promises, after all the name of the realm of punishment was directly taken from the realm of the afterlife of the old religion
@Stirgid Lanathiel Well. as far as I have understood our old mthology the concept of "kind souls are awareded, and evil souls are punnished in the afterlife" does not seem to exists in the same way. The norse were strong belivers in fate and destiny, so I guess you just fullfilled that... Whre you ended up after life seems more like how you died and where you belong, that some kind of punishment.
Helheim isn't even necessarily a place of torment. It can be, but some of the dead that didn't die in battle are honored and sat in Hel's dining hall. Really depends on the soul. IE Baldr had a place of honor there. She wouldn't let him go, of course... But she honored him.
I am SO very pleased that not only you explained in great detail who they are and what they are doing and why they are doing it, but that you got it all RIGHT. It is most appreciated. You have honored Wardruna by sharing them without bias and in the beautiful spirit with which they were created.
The girl singing in this is Aurora. She is not just a great artist on her own, she is one of my most favorite humans on this planet. She brings a unique energy to her live performances. Some parts of her history is sad. She has lost 3 friends already at her young age, but inspires many on how to move forward in life with her songs. One in particular she lost in the 2011 terrorist attacks in Norway. For which she wrote the song "Little Boy in the Grass". But she has so many different sounds and each album she made has a different vibe. If you ever get to it, I would suggest showing them her live performances from the Nidarosdomen concert. Perhaps the song "Lucky" because they should understand the meaning. It's about being lucky to be alive. And accepting faith. (She is Omnist. Which is where a person believes in all faiths to one ultimate spiritual goal.)
@@lil_weasel219 Same way people have favorite humans in other areas. Not that complicated. Lets not be a sophist now. Let me guess, yours is some political leader... lol
@@zachall101 As it should be. She isn't the star of this song. It's their band. It's also why she's not as animated in this as she is in her own live performances. It's a rather simple part.
I've been lucky enough to see her live! She is amazing! Her voice is so beautiful and she's so funny too. She sang her song "through the eyes of a child" and it was so beautiful and emotional. The whole room just went silent and i was literally in tears.
@@CausticSpace Indo-Aryan theory is a myth. The only valid fact is " Proto-indo-european migration". Norse (Viking) culture is same as the Indian culture. Same goes for Roman and Greece. Same traditions with different manifestations.
@@phoenixj1299 North Indians are part of the R haplogroup which is the same haplogroup as Europeans, while the Southern Indians are isolated with the H haplogroup.
@@CausticSpace Nope. South Indians belongs to R haplogroup as well. There is no major difference in the DNA of North, south and west Indians. North east india is an exception based on migration from east. Other than that DNA of North India and South India are same. Indians are original Aryans. India was known as "Aryavarta". Meaning "land of Aryans". The word "Arya" originated from India. There took place a huge war in the past. In that battle, defeated tribes were driven out of India. They settled on Europe and civilsed them. Descendants of one of the tribes are Hellenic people (ancestors of Greek). That's why almost all Eurasian religions are similar.
@@phoenixj1299 Only in Sri Lanka is it R, otherwise, it's H, but the rest of your comment is telling me you are absolutely insane, so I'm not responding.
I think copyright is getting out of hand. It should be meant to prevent one from publishing the same song and saying he has made it, but this is a harmless reaction video and the song would be interrupted all the times. I’m sorry for this guys, happy to see you all back!
@@magneto44 That's not how it works. Copyright was changed or hijacked by large companies like Disney so they could continue profiting of old works long after the creator was dead, and grab any rights away from anyone else. It's a crime against humanity, art should be accessible to everybody just like science, it's not meant to be behind close doors.
@@magneto44 while that may be true. I still think it's kind of stupid, if it was the actual record company or band and not the YT algorithm, to claim a copyright. Unless someone is blatantly ripping off the music/video than it's nothing but publicity. If someone watches this and then gets into the band that's more money for them.
@@magneto44 lots of other reaction videos have been made to this exact footage complete with instrumentals tho and were left up. Ones with a lot of views too.
its just that this channel wants to make money on their song and not letting the money go to those who worked hard on making the song... nothing but greed and money towards one self
I love the one who criticized the mic shadows on the singer's face. He is like a natural stage manager, with such attention to detail and care for the performance. He pays attention to all details. He would be an asset to any show!
This is not the point of the performance. These passionate musicians are professionals in every sense of the word. They don't need stage managers but listeners who can feel the music and the story. From all the rest he didn't stop interrupting and picking on everything but the music and the message Wardruna is sharing...The old man with the turban was the wisest of all. He did not speak during the performance. He was fully emerged in the experience and then he shared the most important points of what he believes.
I can as well. Something about the song always brings instant feelings deep within me that often drive me to tears. I know every roll of the drums in my head.
that’s because you’re a Human and even the stupidest of us are still the most intelligent creatures on Earth. Even if you aren’t a genius we are all mentally gifted and superior.
Trybals watching these people sing about their culture without judgment is so wonderful. We must all honor each others culture and religious beliefs. We all may worship different gods and live a different way but we do not walk in each others shoes. We did not come from the same place as the rest of the world. I know my god loves diversity and to disrespect other cultures would be to disrespect what my god is teaching me. I loved this video and love to see into the hearts of the Trybals because they give me hope.
@@JayHendricksWorld I believe everyone has that right. Everyone. Things are not always cut and dry. I will do all I can to honor another persons beliefs and culture, I will do what I can to learn about others but if mine are "attacked" or my country, I will stand and defend it. There are always people who will act out of hate and I hope that I will never be among them but I will always defend my faith and my country.
All cultures should be understood, that's the first thing a reasonable human would aim for. Everything else you stated is sugar coated nonsense, you don't grasp a fraction of it, and yet you claim to know. Let me tell you though, some should be kept out from healthy environments... A rather transgressive statement for cocooned minds, I'm sure.
@@eduardobenassi3072 Hmm. Cocooned Minds, well put. I believe you just described yourself. Wake up. Both of my comments were in reference to honoring EVERYONES cultures and beliefs. Nothing was sugar coated as you put it. I would hate to go through my life seeing everything negatively like you are. That world would be a dark place. And by the way, understanding someone's culture and beliefs does not mean you honor their right to their own. Even if you don't agree it with them you should still honor their right to be who they are.
@@yvonnemassey3658 Not only did everything go over your head - and I didn't really expect anything else - you also took it personal, in fact, it'd seem that you know me quite well. I don't know wether it's the language or the thickness of your skull. This is exactly what doesn't give me hope, people with the witts of a palm tree. Too blind to see their own ignorance, but they sure know "the god", its will, and they somehow know you as well. You barely understand your own damn thoughts by the looks of it, it's sad. If I had to pick apart all the nonsense buried in your comment I'd be typing for an hour.
Really both enjoyed and was frustrated by this one. I had been so looking forward to it after seeing the Heilung video. Disappointed that there was such issue with the copyrights as all the silenced parts affected the overall presentation. Very much enjoyed the thoughtful responses of the viewers, and especially adore Muharam~ the way he always lets himself go with each experience is such a joy to behold. I am pagan, myself. Our family has adopted this song for our funerals, it gives comfort to grief and saying goodbye.
Didn't like them calling Allfather Odin a 'false' God.Those people of the book haven't changed,I'm afraid.😢Shame we couldn't hear the recording properly, that's copyright for you🤬🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️🐊🐊🐊
@@cremebrulee4759 it doesnt. It hinders creativity and is increasingly making it difficult to even compose wothout being sued, thry are trying to copyright chords...It only helps "protect" megacorporations like disney. I think Tom Nicholas' video on copyright is quite good
@@cremebrulee4759 It really doesn't. It's always the publishing companies making these strikes, never the musicians. For the musicians, it limits the reach of their music by restricting its distribution. Tons of listeners never get the experience that could have earned the musicians new fans.
Wow bro wow! Exchanging about others beliefs while talking about yours, without having passing judgment on who's wrong or who's right, that's what I like about these people From the day I discovered your content I noticed their open mind on stuff they usually aren't familiar with and more so appreciating a lot of it and you can also notice many similarities between cultures while still being different On a side note, the editing with all the reactors in each corner and the video they're watching at the center is really well thought 😁
Its really important to see how real life muslims react to different cultures. Totally different from what western media/cultural industry shows to us. Adorable people on video, this channel is amazing!
The forked antler at the top of the microphone is often called a "stang." It's a tool that some use in religious rituals. The verses about cattle and kinsmen and reputation are from the Havamal, a text believed to be passed down from Odin himself. To be fair, I don't exactly believe that, but it's a small book of wisdom that's useful sometimes. Love your channel and all the reactors! Wishing you all well
Thanks, maybe i'll read havamal. Any suggestions how to get into the spiritual core of norse paganism? Are there any texts like upanishads ? Maybe instructions on how to travel up and down the world tree or something like that...
@@aumatomos7811 If you want to understand the fundamentals of the Norse faith I would start with the Völuspá, the prophecy of the seeress. It tells the story of the creation of the world and its end, and will give you a good understanding of how the ancient Norsemen viewed the universe and their places in it.
@@axebearer It's one thing to read the texts, but an entirely different thing to understand what that (could have) meant for the mindset of those people. Just reading about the Norns does not instantly make you realize how it (could have) shaped the mindset of the people. For example. For a more holistic read on the topics you could try "Our Troth". Though the books seem to be pretty fucking unavailable right now. I think the biggest takeaway for anyone whose main contact with religion was abrahamics should be: Germanic/Northern Paganism is not about being subservient to the gods you worship. Reading the texts is good and important. But they aren't really an instruction manual or codex, as the abrahamic books are often viewed. Though I recently also switched to thinking understanding the historic culture could be more important than understanding the historic religion. I think a native religion is born out of and shaped by the culture more than the other way around. Keyword here being "native".
@@aumatomos7811 You have got some good answer who i find no faults in. But i would really like to stress something that everyone seems to leave out when it comes to Germanic/Northern paganism and that is it's connection to nature. Just like alot of other pagan practises the root is always in nature. Finding this faith in an arid or tropical climate seems extremly hard in my eyes. For most people here who trys to practise this belife i have never heard anyone say they where looking for it, only that it or they found while in nature here in this part of the world (this is excluding the warrior part, which may be the pop-culture focus but a long shot from everything). Even some practises which are seen as essential are really hard to do if you are not in a northen landscape. Some trees old such a big part of worship yew, ash and the biggest one is oak. Without oak you cant have blót today as we dont have any real temples anymore. Temples that would need to be build with at least some oak btw. The spiritual core will be found with knowlege and precense i would say. Seek out the old.
Thank you sir. Sorry about the copyright issues. I saw this video when you first put it up and enjoyed it. At least we still get to see the reactions and comments from our friends here. :)
I'm finding so many amazing songs through your channel, and it's also amazing to see not only your interpretation but also the interpretations of the people reacting to the music, through a completely different cultural lens from what most of the viewers here see through.
I really respect how much effort you put into researching for this project. I truly appreciate that you went through the trouble to teaching these people about Norse culture, and even went as far as telling them about the Norse Gods, and the meaning and goal of Wardruna, and Einar Selvik. I liked how expressive the gentlemen on the top left was. I would really l love to see him specifically react to some of Wardruna's other songs, specifically Lyfjaberg and Solringen.
As a norse pagan I am so glad they did this video. I love this song and it's one I play when I am going to visit my family who has passed especially my father. I'm so glad to see cultural differences discussed in a respectful and amazing manner. Blessings to you friends.
I was really impress that he actually did remember jinjer :D warduna is always been one of my fav as is heilung. I will finally get to see them this summer in Finland been waiting and wanting to see them for years and years. I do follow the neo pagan way in my life and even it can be practiced in a religious way and some choose to do so it's never was a religion in its original form. There was some small cults in the middle ages with the old Norse society's. But before the enforcement of Christianity old Norse society's did now have any form of organised religion. This religious form of it these days is neo paganistic and because the lag of legit information people mix Christian idealism in to a lot without even realising it themselves. Why this happens a lot is mostly because almost all information of those times and our ancestors culture was never written down by the old Norse themselves it was done by others the traditions and stories where pass on orally only. The sagas are generally the best information what we have and even them are written mostly by scholars outside of norse society so they have also taken a lot of liberties and the sagas are translated originally by a Icelandic Christian man called snorri Sturluson. He did use the original text and parchments but of course he couldn't and wouldn't exactly be fully honest In he's translation and took a lot of liberties because he was working for the Christian church. Odin did sacrifice he's eye and hang for 7 days on the tree of Yggdrasil to gain the knowledge of the runes. He was a god of war and wisdom and poetry. It's been said that he only spoke with poetry. But he's popularity is more related to neo paganism than the original times. There really isn't much mention of Odin in the original texts compared to for example to Thor that was said to be most honoured god among the people because he was kind of common man's god like farmers and etc. But there is no evidence that the gods In those days where implemented much at all in every day life. Like loads of neo paganistic practitioners do these days.
And also the popularity of it rising in modern day is fastly do with the Hollywood and especially after a new TV series called the Vikings come out that was based on the story's of the sagas but once again the TV series makers did take a loads of liberties changing the original stories completely in lots of cases. So unfortunately it's quite a lot of more of fashion thing to people in a sense than actual practice of the old ways. But everyone has to start somewhere I guess and if your seeking of the old ways is done with pure heart and not for fashion sense and ego then personally I don't mind how one practise it.
@@Mokkularock since both Wardruna and Heilung are among your favorite, you should check out the line-up at the Midgardsblot Festival this year. With bands such as Wardruna, Heilung, Myrkur, Nytt Land, etc on the same stage.
It's unfortunate that the video got a copyright strike, but even despite the fact that you had to remove the audio, this is still an incredible video, like always. This channel always helps me discover new things and see things from new points of view and pay attention to different details, and that's why it's one of my favourites ever. You're doing very important work by allowing people to share cultures like this. If you want to have them react to more modern cultural music, then I recommend Blessing of Nature by Uutai Olena. I also recommend Endurant by Bloodywood, which is an indian folk metal band that does songs that mix english and hindi lyrics.
I have never before heard of this group. I like them very much and thank you each for your responses. This is a very good project you have. I find it stimulates my creative thinking and opens my mind. G-d bless all of us
I would like to recommend to dive more into the music of AURORA (the female singer wearing the white dress). I'm pretty sure you will appreciate her songs with her beautiful voice and thoughtful lyrics
I love that you pay respects to every thing you introduce to these guys and explain it in a way that might make sense to them. Everywhere in the world has a deep history steeped in tradition and legend that deserves to be shared and respected
Greetings from Germany I'm pagan myself and i try to be as open minded and close to the tribal believes of my ancestors i always love learning about different cultures and see how they react to mine hate has no place in human world wish you all the best
if you are trying to be open minded thats great. though one should note that if you are "trying to be close to the beliefs of your ancestors", they werent open minded themselves. Society has fortunately progressed since then.
I think this another amazing video of cultural exchange through music! It is so heartfelt, even without knowing the meaning or words of oneanother. Remembering the dead and those who passed away is of tremendous importance in every culture. May the souls of all those kind people listed in the end of the video be blessed with a happy and prosperous eternal life. Insallah.
Sir Rind and Sir Bughio, bless you. People can be smart from teaching, but you are _wise_ from experience. Sir Rind I saw in your eyes the music touched your soul gently. I wish you all a happy life and that the inevitable end we all meet someday will be one of comfort for you and your loved ones
I'm from Sweden. I just want to give some more info, if you're interested? Even though this is a Norwegian band - this kind of music played here has its roots in the old Nordic culture, which Norway, Sweden and Denmark all had as a common, shared culture, often referred to as old 'Norse-religion/culture'. The religion and culture we in the Nordic countries held before we got, more or less forcibly 'converted' to Christianity (Iceland has it too - which was colonized [although-no one lived there] by those from the Nordic countries who refused to abandon their old ways of the old 'Norse-tradition' and convert to Christianity). This was the culture, customs and religion, held by the old Vikings - if you've heard of them? From around a 1000 years ago. Cheers from Sweden!
As a Muslim I listen to this song a lot brings a tear to my eye. Such a beautiful song with meaning to it 🙏🏽. Scandinavian culture is beautiful I love everything about the Norsemen and their gods. It’s sad how Christians satanised the Vikingr
did not islam do the same thing with the gods and goddesses of the cultures they conquered? its a bad human trait that a lot of religions tend to show.
Will def be checking out Waldruna and this song. I love their spiritual message and music. And as it happens, I'm Pagan and Buddhist, so it makes me think about my beliefs, as well. I'd like to see our tribal friends react to "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, official video from Kalush Orchestra, and their live performance at Eurovision that won the finals. Thank you for all you do to create and share these videos. Blessed be.
@@celticdeamon567 All religions tackle the same questions and concepts but with different interpretations, there are many wisdoms to be found in every one of them. The old Scandinavians Gods will always be special to me, but I can't find just as much in the tales of Moses and Yeshua as from Oden, Freja or Brage.
you people here really have a sweet and loving spirit. Never lose that... AND I learn a lot of interesting things listening to you, things I didnt know ... thanks
Wow this is awesome reaction. This is why i support on patreon. Totally awesome that my heritage as a scandinavian or even germanic descent have alot of incommon with people from afar places. They might not understand the essence or rittual but they understand purpose and traditions. Something we in the west slowly forgetting. Traditions and culture is CENTRAL for a sound wellbeing.
It's all owned by Orchard music label and they blocked our Heilung reaction video entirely too. Sadly they did it months after it was posted and had more than 420,000 views. Anyways, I can do the same adjustments to it and re-upload if people are interested. Aurora - Runway is almost finished editing so it will be up in a few days. I'm not sure if that is also owned by Orchard music label or some other record label company. Hope it goes smooth
@@TRYBALS Thank you. How come other reaction channels get to have the full video and music with no problem? Aurora is on Decca records by the way. It's a shame cause I would think Heilung and AURORA would have no issue with that you're doing. Thanks for the videos. It's been very entertaining and great to see the tribal peoples reaction to what you've shown them so far.
@@adamwebb1987 well, I'm not sure why they hit some channels and leave some. But, it's never the artist/band that has any problem. In fact, they appreciate reaction videos most of the times. It's the record publishing companies that do all the copyright stuff
You're American. Not scandinavian. You hold no culture or understanding of your European DNA. It is DNA and no more. Even if you are first generation it is gone, I have 3 first generation American cousins and they are not European past their DNA so stop being delusional its insulting
I'd love to see a reaction to Wardruna and their song white raven. It's a song like this about bringing ones soul to to heaven. The raven is the carrier and watcher over the soul. It's a beautiful song and even more beautiful video.
It is always interesting to see how other cultures react to my own heritage. Thanks a million for bringing this to the world in a sense. Once more it just proves we have more similarities than differences.
It's really interesting to see how Parvati Bheel's tribe has the exact same tradition of singing to people to soothe them as they're dying. Really beautiful to see how two completely different and unrelated cultures can have such things in common.
I would love to see them react to Einar Selvik's live performance at the International TV Gala, one of his best performances. Or one of Wardrunas incredible music videos to show what the northern culture also may look like, loving these videos!
As a Atheïst / Mythology person i really like Abdul's view. I like his view in most of these video's. It shows we are all much closer if we forget the strict rules
"Kven skal synge meg i daudsvevna slynge meg når eg helvegen går og dei spora eg trår er kalde, så kalde" Who will sing me Into the death-sleep sling me When I walk the road to Hel And the tracks I tread Are cold, so cold "Eg songane søkte Eg songane sende då den djupaste brunni gav meg dråpar så ramme av Valfaders pant" I sought the songs I sent the songs When the deepest well Offered drops so mighty Of Valfather’s pledge "Alt veit eg Odin kvar du auge løynde!"

You are free from the bonds that bound you! And a quotation from the Voluspa Deyr fé Deyja frændr Deyr sjalfr it sama En orðstírr Deyr aldregi Hveim er sér góðan getr "Deyr fé Deyja frændr Deyr sjalfr it sama Ek veit einn At aldrei deyr: Dómr um dauðan hvern." Cattle die, kinsmen die You yourself will also die but the word about you will never die if you win a good reputation Cattle die, kinsmen die You yourself will also die I know one that never dies the reputation of those who died
At 12:40 It's amazing how two different cultures/religions (one of them gone for hundreds of years) on opposite sides of the world share such similar sayings of wisdom.
Dont mean to be douche plz excuse my pertinence, however paganism, polytheism, nowadays depiction of god n religion it's fairy tales to me... so Hail, humanity praise the Sun n the Universe (lots of positive energy) and HAIL METAL :P
This song is a high honor. It promises to tell the person's story after they die. It also offers a blessing, Be free from the bonds that bound you Be free from the bonds that bind you.
Tradition is everything for any culture. When a people turn they’re back on they’re traditionally honored ways they die. The way to keeping the fire of your people alive is tradition. That is what bands like warduna are trying to do.
as a pagan myself i am both glad and sad i am glad that my ancestors stories get told but i am sad that during ww2 the forces of evil took those same stories and twisted them for evil thus putting a blemish on our history and traditions nowadays if i write in the old script(germanic runes also known as the younger futhark) people would think of me as a world war 2 german soldier, i am but a man trying to transcribe to the future what happened here. I pray daily to my main deity Nehalennia that someone will carve the crimes of nations into stone so they cannot be forgotten
Try not to worry too much about how the wicked have used your people's old ways to cloak themselves in an illusion of righteousness. They do that to every tradition, because they do not respect any. They only understand the language of the sword.
may all of your friends and family have many blessings, and that their life may be full of bliss and happiness for all time. To those that have passed, I wish for them the afterlife they believed in, with all the splendor that it entails. You are all amazing humans, even all of you here in the comments ( yes including any negative commenters, because I have hopes that your negativity will fade so you too may know happiness) You are all beautiful and deserving of happiness and bliss.
As someone of germanic origin, it really comforts me to see many similarities and empathetic views to Pagainism and Islam. Peace be upon you my brothers
this song is beautiful in so many levels , in that song they show us that doesnt matter the religion they are helping souls to cross the way of death , that so many cultures believes that souls may be lost sometines after death and a guidence is necssary some cases , amazing real Magic happening there
Seconding everyone who's said to check out Lyfjaberg by Wardruna. The song and the scenery in the video are both absolutely beautiful, and a lot of people have felt mental and spiritual healing when they listen to it.
I love how even with only the vocals and them being a bit out of tune due to copyright the song is still amazing. I love this song and its meaning. Thank you for sharing it and explaining it to the viewers both on screen and watching online. 💜🌈💜🌈
Thank you for showcasing music again!! even if I couldn't watch with full sound. I still don't understand the whole copyright thing, and the ever changing rules of what is and isn't allowed. Anyway, hope everyone is well.
Hel is the place where those who die in their beds go. It is NOT hell. Those who died on the battlefield went to Odin in Valhall, some were claimed by Frøya. The rest went to Hel. The goddess, Hel, nurtured and protected them. The song asks: who are going to sing for our dead now, like I sing you on your way to the land of death. My song will follow you over Gjallarbru all the way to the gates. You will not walk alone.
I'm of that Norse religion. Danish. We don't kneel and pray to our gods for wealth and other trivial things. We call upon them to watch us earn their respect. We don't kneel to our gods. And they can exist separate of the creating God, too, because if that one God created all, that God created the gods, too. Aspects of us to focus on. What trait we choose to focus on should be more important. Love? Hate? Curiosity? Mischief? Stength? Honor? Pride? Hubris? All is under the creator if there is ONE creator. If there is, we all seek the creator but in different ways by focusing as limited as humanity can in its limited form. Hel vegen is but a song to sing the dead to the next world, reminding us that our name and honor is borrowed from our children. Name and honor doesn't die if worthy of remembrance.
Yeah sorry about that my friend, last time I uploaded their music they blocked the video and then had it deleted yesterday. They did the same with our Heilung reaction video after it reached 420,000 views. It's all owned by Orchard music (Norwegian audio label) and they always block our videos. So I had to come up with a different approach this time. You know a saying that goes "Something is better than nothing"
@@TRYBALS Well thats true to be fair ^^ Shame this Content gets blocked and such =( Its way to beautiful to not to hear ♪♫♪ And im always curious about the Reaction of those Trybal People and their Thoughts on it. Some very honest and wise Words here and there i rly like to hear because i wouldnt have expected them to think like that^^ Anyway Greetings : )
@@Insorteduplo I think the same but here we are. I haven't had such type of headache with any other reaction videos. They do block it if video is clear and not blurred or transparent but this record label company blocks looking at the audio metadeta instead so I had no choice. Greetings, hope everything is well.
The difference is their culture never died while paganism in Europe vanished away. EDIT: And yes Norse culture and other pagan culture are different manifestations of same one proto-indo-european culture.

Actualy Helheim (or just Hel) was a cold and dark place in norse mythology. And there was no fire or brimstone there at all. This was the afterlife for those who died from sickness or old age (not died in battle)
Remeber that we lived in a cold and dark part of the earth, so for our anchestors the cold represents death, while fire and heat represent life.
While in cultures in warmer countries with a lot hotter climate the burning sun can be death, and a shade be the good thing keeping you alive.
To be fair, I don't think we can tell these people "remember". They barely knew what Norway was :) But yes, the Abrahamitic version of hell is not the same as Hel.

More familiar with German mythology (so pretty much Norse in an earlier version as we got christianized earlier) and a common thing in it is to believe that the dead are living inside of mountains, so maybe that is the origin of this conception of hell being filled with fire and brimstone which was emphasized by the christian church to foster conversion by making the world of the dead in the indigenous religion seem undesirable compared to the heaven itself promises, after all the name of the realm of punishment was directly taken from the realm of the afterlife of the old religion
@Stirgid Lanathiel Well. as far as I have understood our old mthology the concept of "kind souls are awareded, and evil souls are punnished in the afterlife" does not seem to exists in the same way.
The norse were strong belivers in fate and destiny, so I guess you just fullfilled that...
Whre you ended up after life seems more like how you died and where you belong, that some kind of punishment.
Helheim isn't even necessarily a place of torment. It can be, but some of the dead that didn't die in battle are honored and sat in Hel's dining hall. Really depends on the soul. IE Baldr had a place of honor there. She wouldn't let him go, of course... But she honored him.
I am SO very pleased that not only you explained in great detail who they are and what they are doing and why they are doing it, but that you got it all RIGHT. It is most appreciated. You have honored Wardruna by sharing them without bias and in the beautiful spirit with which they were created.
The girl singing in this is Aurora.
She is not just a great artist on her own, she is one of my most favorite humans on this planet. She brings a unique energy to her live performances.
Some parts of her history is sad. She has lost 3 friends already at her young age, but inspires many on how to move forward in life with her songs.
One in particular she lost in the 2011 terrorist attacks in Norway. For which she wrote the song "Little Boy in the Grass". But she has so many different sounds and each album she made has a different vibe.
If you ever get to it, I would suggest showing them her live performances from the Nidarosdomen concert. Perhaps the song "Lucky" because they should understand the meaning. It's about being lucky to be alive. And accepting faith. (She is Omnist. Which is where a person believes in all faiths to one ultimate spiritual goal.)
How can you have a celebrity that you dont personally know as your favourite human?
thats just not right. Parasocial relationships are weird damn
@@lil_weasel219 Same way people have favorite humans in other areas. Not that complicated.
Lets not be a sophist now.
Let me guess, yours is some political leader... lol
Actually as soon as the man sings u can’t even hear her voice at certain points of the song
@@zachall101 As it should be. She isn't the star of this song. It's their band. It's also why she's not as animated in this as she is in her own live performances. It's a rather simple part.
I've been lucky enough to see her live! She is amazing! Her voice is so beautiful and she's so funny too. She sang her song "through the eyes of a child" and it was so beautiful and emotional. The whole room just went silent and i was literally in tears.
It brought a tear to my eye hearing them finding common threads between their culture and Northern European culture. Beautiful.
If they Indo-Aryan theory is to be believed, it makes sense why there is somewhat of a connection between the the 2
@@CausticSpace Indo-Aryan theory is a myth. The only valid fact is " Proto-indo-european migration". Norse (Viking) culture is same as the Indian culture. Same goes for Roman and Greece. Same traditions with different manifestations.
@@phoenixj1299 North Indians are part of the R haplogroup which is the same haplogroup as Europeans, while the Southern Indians are isolated with the H haplogroup.
@@CausticSpace Nope. South Indians belongs to R haplogroup as well. There is no major difference in the DNA of North, south and west Indians. North east india is an exception based on migration from east. Other than that DNA of North India and South India are same. Indians are original Aryans. India was known as "Aryavarta". Meaning "land of Aryans". The word "Arya" originated from India. There took place a huge war in the past. In that battle, defeated tribes were driven out of India. They settled on Europe and civilsed them. Descendants of one of the tribes are Hellenic people (ancestors of Greek). That's why almost all Eurasian religions are similar.
@@phoenixj1299 Only in Sri Lanka is it R, otherwise, it's H, but the rest of your comment is telling me you are absolutely insane, so I'm not responding.
I think copyright is getting out of hand. It should be meant to prevent one from publishing the same song and saying he has made it, but this is a harmless reaction video and the song would be interrupted all the times. I’m sorry for this guys, happy to see you all back!
not your property, not your call 🤷🏼♂️
@@magneto44 That's not how it works. Copyright was changed or hijacked by large companies like Disney so they could continue profiting of old works long after the creator was dead, and grab any rights away from anyone else. It's a crime against humanity, art should be accessible to everybody just like science, it's not meant to be behind close doors.
@@magneto44 while that may be true. I still think it's kind of stupid, if it was the actual record company or band and not the YT algorithm, to claim a copyright. Unless someone is blatantly ripping off the music/video than it's nothing but publicity. If someone watches this and then gets into the band that's more money for them.
@@magneto44 lots of other reaction videos have been made to this exact footage complete with instrumentals tho and were left up. Ones with a lot of views too.
its just that this channel wants to make money on their song and not letting the money go to those who worked hard on making the song... nothing but greed and money towards one self
I love the one who criticized the mic shadows on the singer's face. He is like a natural stage manager, with such attention to detail and care for the performance. He pays attention to all details. He would be an asset to any show!
This is not the point of the performance. These passionate musicians are professionals in every sense of the word. They don't need stage managers but listeners who can feel the music and the story. From all the rest he didn't stop interrupting and picking on everything but the music and the message Wardruna is sharing...The old man with the turban was the wisest of all. He did not speak during the performance. He was fully emerged in the experience and then he shared the most important points of what he believes.
For real
@@Pavelisimus this
There was no real stage... It was performed in a natural cave. ;)
@@Pavelisimus i think it's because he thinks it's against his religion. he actually states their god is false lmao
The vocals got filtered out of the beat, but somehow I can still hear the beat in my head when I hear the vocals. Very interesting.
It sings to the soul
I can as well. Something about the song always brings instant feelings deep within me that often drive me to tears. I know every roll of the drums in my head.
that’s because you’re a Human and even the stupidest of us are still the most intelligent creatures on Earth. Even if you aren’t a genius we are all mentally gifted and superior.
I think it might be because the rythm sound like a heartbeat. Bum bum...bum bum❤
Trybals watching these people sing about their culture without judgment is so wonderful. We must all honor each others culture and religious beliefs. We all may worship different gods and live a different way but we do not walk in each others shoes. We did not come from the same place as the rest of the world. I know my god loves diversity and to disrespect other cultures would be to disrespect what my god is teaching me. I loved this video and love to see into the hearts of the Trybals because they give me hope.
Do you agree that I have the right to defend my faith and culture against those who wish to see it destroyed?
@@JayHendricksWorld I believe everyone has that right. Everyone. Things are not always cut and dry. I will do all I can to honor another persons beliefs and culture, I will do what I can to learn about others but if mine are "attacked" or my country, I will stand and defend it. There are always people who will act out of hate and I hope that I will never be among them but I will always defend my faith and my country.
All cultures should be understood, that's the first thing a reasonable human would aim for. Everything else you stated is sugar coated nonsense, you don't grasp a fraction of it, and yet you claim to know. Let me tell you though, some should be kept out from healthy environments... A rather transgressive statement for cocooned minds, I'm sure.
@@eduardobenassi3072 Hmm. Cocooned Minds, well put. I believe you just described yourself. Wake up. Both of my comments were in reference to honoring EVERYONES cultures and beliefs. Nothing was sugar coated as you put it. I would hate to go through my life seeing everything negatively like you are. That world would be a dark place. And by the way, understanding someone's culture and beliefs does not mean you honor their right to their own. Even if you don't agree it with them you should still honor their right to be who they are.
@@yvonnemassey3658 Not only did everything go over your head - and I didn't really expect anything else - you also took it personal, in fact, it'd seem that you know me quite well. I don't know wether it's the language or the thickness of your skull. This is exactly what doesn't give me hope, people with the witts of a palm tree. Too blind to see their own ignorance, but they sure know "the god", its will, and they somehow know you as well. You barely understand your own damn thoughts by the looks of it, it's sad. If I had to pick apart all the nonsense buried in your comment I'd be typing for an hour.
Really both enjoyed and was frustrated by this one. I had been so looking forward to it after seeing the Heilung video. Disappointed that there was such issue with the copyrights as all the silenced parts affected the overall presentation. Very much enjoyed the thoughtful responses of the viewers, and especially adore Muharam~ the way he always lets himself go with each experience is such a joy to behold.
I am pagan, myself. Our family has adopted this song for our funerals, it gives comfort to grief and saying goodbye.
same here
Didn't like them calling Allfather Odin a 'false' God.Those people of the book haven't changed,I'm afraid.😢Shame we couldn't hear the recording properly, that's copyright for you🤬🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️🐊🐊🐊
It’s really a shame you can’t just play the song/video, without it becoming some BS copyright infringement.
The copyright helps to protect all musicians who make an income from making music, including studio musicians. It's not BS.
copyright laws are like that (especially current ones). They benefit no one except megacorporations
@@cremebrulee4759 it doesnt. It hinders creativity and is increasingly making it difficult to even compose wothout being sued, thry are trying to copyright chords...It only helps "protect" megacorporations like disney.
I think Tom Nicholas' video on copyright is quite good
@@cremebrulee4759 It is when you consider they also ban the artist who makes them available too,so it's silly as Hell!
@@cremebrulee4759 It really doesn't. It's always the publishing companies making these strikes, never the musicians. For the musicians, it limits the reach of their music by restricting its distribution. Tons of listeners never get the experience that could have earned the musicians new fans.
"Sang from the heart, to the heart" - Einar Selvik
This is hands down the greatest colab of Norwegian artists you could have found. Please consider showing them The Seed by Aurora.
Ooof one of my fav by her❤
Wow bro wow!
Exchanging about others beliefs while talking about yours, without having passing judgment on who's wrong or who's right, that's what I like about these people
From the day I discovered your content I noticed their open mind on stuff they usually aren't familiar with and more so appreciating a lot of it and you can also notice many similarities between cultures while still being different
On a side note, the editing with all the reactors in each corner and the video they're watching at the center is really well thought 😁
Its really important to see how real life muslims react to different cultures. Totally different from what western media/cultural industry shows to us.
Adorable people on video, this channel is amazing!
Yes please everyone watch the original with full music! One of the most emotionally moving songs I've ever heard. So beautiful, powerful
Love this performance so much! Great content, guys :)
are you a nordic girl?
im not from norway (though hopefully ill move there someday) but their reactions made me proud of wardruna (except for that one reactor you know who)
My soul always elevates when i watch these tribal ladies and gentlemen react to western and European etc musicians like Aurora and Wardurna.
The forked antler at the top of the microphone is often called a "stang." It's a tool that some use in religious rituals.
The verses about cattle and kinsmen and reputation are from the Havamal, a text believed to be passed down from Odin himself. To be fair, I don't exactly believe that, but it's a small book of wisdom that's useful sometimes. Love your channel and all the reactors! Wishing you all well
Thanks, maybe i'll read havamal. Any suggestions how to get into the spiritual core of norse paganism? Are there any texts like upanishads ? Maybe instructions on how to travel up and down the world tree or something like that...
@@aumatomos7811 If you want to understand the fundamentals of the Norse faith I would start with the Völuspá, the prophecy of the seeress. It tells the story of the creation of the world and its end, and will give you a good understanding of how the ancient Norsemen viewed the universe and their places in it.
@@axebearer It's one thing to read the texts, but an entirely different thing to understand what that (could have) meant for the mindset of those people. Just reading about the Norns does not instantly make you realize how it (could have) shaped the mindset of the people. For example.
For a more holistic read on the topics you could try "Our Troth". Though the books seem to be pretty fucking unavailable right now.
I think the biggest takeaway for anyone whose main contact with religion was abrahamics should be: Germanic/Northern Paganism is not about being subservient to the gods you worship. Reading the texts is good and important. But they aren't really an instruction manual or codex, as the abrahamic books are often viewed.
Though I recently also switched to thinking understanding the historic culture could be more important than understanding the historic religion. I think a native religion is born out of and shaped by the culture more than the other way around. Keyword here being "native".
@@aumatomos7811 You have got some good answer who i find no faults in. But i would really like to stress something that everyone seems to leave out when it comes to Germanic/Northern paganism and that is it's connection to nature. Just like alot of other pagan practises the root is always in nature. Finding this faith in an arid or tropical climate seems extremly hard in my eyes. For most people here who trys to practise this belife i have never heard anyone say they where looking for it, only that it or they found while in nature here in this part of the world (this is excluding the warrior part, which may be the pop-culture focus but a long shot from everything).
Even some practises which are seen as essential are really hard to do if you are not in a northen landscape. Some trees old such a big part of worship yew, ash and the biggest one is oak. Without oak you cant have blót today as we dont have any real temples anymore. Temples that would need to be build with at least some oak btw.
The spiritual core will be found with knowlege and precense i would say. Seek out the old.
Thank you sir. Sorry about the copyright issues. I saw this video when you first put it up and enjoyed it. At least we still get to see the reactions and comments from our friends here. :)
I'm finding so many amazing songs through your channel, and it's also amazing to see not only your interpretation but also the interpretations of the people reacting to the music, through a completely different cultural lens from what most of the viewers here see through.
I love how respectful, positive and open their responses were to this. They seemed to enjoy the music and history alot.
Arnulf Øverland, Norwegian poet and writer (1889-1968) On the Trinity:
"For a "monotheistic" religion
it should be sufficient with three gods."
I really respect how much effort you put into researching for this project. I truly appreciate that you went through the trouble to teaching these people about Norse culture, and even went as far as telling them about the Norse Gods, and the meaning and goal of Wardruna, and Einar Selvik. I liked how expressive the gentlemen on the top left was. I would really l love to see him specifically react to some of Wardruna's other songs, specifically Lyfjaberg and Solringen.
seen this concert live, and the applause after the show was the longest one I have ever seen, the last band of the night was 20min late because of it.
Try Aurora with The seed. She sang in this song, but got nice own songs to!
I would like to see what music is meaningful to the tribal people,it would be nice to see what they admire.
Yeah, would be awesome if they show us their lives, music, culturenetc
the isolated vocals make it even more powerful, love your channel!!
Thank you very much for this reaction.
It is unfortunate that the company is so harsh on rights.
I love your videos, keep it up 🙏
Them listening: "wait there's still pagans in Europe?"
Actually, at this point there's more devout pagans than christians
I thank the gods for that ❤️🙏
If not... it's getting close
@@gealdyrtheta6938 Which one? Odin? Frey? Baldur?
@@berserkercookie2645 **gods** plural, all of them because they all are intrinsic in our experience of life.
Indeed we are
As a norse pagan I am so glad they did this video. I love this song and it's one I play when I am going to visit my family who has passed especially my father. I'm so glad to see cultural differences discussed in a respectful and amazing manner. Blessings to you friends.
I was really impress that he actually did remember jinjer :D warduna is always been one of my fav as is heilung. I will finally get to see them this summer in Finland been waiting and wanting to see them for years and years. I do follow the neo pagan way in my life and even it can be practiced in a religious way and some choose to do so it's never was a religion in its original form. There was some small cults in the middle ages with the old Norse society's. But before the enforcement of Christianity old Norse society's did now have any form of organised religion. This religious form of it these days is neo paganistic and because the lag of legit information people mix Christian idealism in to a lot without even realising it themselves. Why this happens a lot is mostly because almost all information of those times and our ancestors culture was never written down by the old Norse themselves it was done by others the traditions and stories where pass on orally only. The sagas are generally the best information what we have and even them are written mostly by scholars outside of norse society so they have also taken a lot of liberties and the sagas are translated originally by a Icelandic Christian man called snorri Sturluson. He did use the original text and parchments but of course he couldn't and wouldn't exactly be fully honest In he's translation and took a lot of liberties because he was working for the Christian church. Odin did sacrifice he's eye and hang for 7 days on the tree of Yggdrasil to gain the knowledge of the runes. He was a god of war and wisdom and poetry. It's been said that he only spoke with poetry. But he's popularity is more related to neo paganism than the original times. There really isn't much mention of Odin in the original texts compared to for example to Thor that was said to be most honoured god among the people because he was kind of common man's god like farmers and etc. But there is no evidence that the gods In those days where implemented much at all in every day life. Like loads of neo paganistic practitioners do these days.
And also the popularity of it rising in modern day is fastly do with the Hollywood and especially after a new TV series called the Vikings come out that was based on the story's of the sagas but once again the TV series makers did take a loads of liberties changing the original stories completely in lots of cases. So unfortunately it's quite a lot of more of fashion thing to people in a sense than actual practice of the old ways. But everyone has to start somewhere I guess and if your seeking of the old ways is done with pure heart and not for fashion sense and ego then personally I don't mind how one practise it.
@@Mokkularock since both Wardruna and Heilung are among your favorite, you should check out the line-up at the Midgardsblot Festival this year. With bands such as Wardruna, Heilung, Myrkur, Nytt Land, etc on the same stage.
@@Xirque666 hmm need to check it out although my festival list for this summer is long as hell as it is but that deff did peek my interest.
@@Xirque666 mmmm I love Myrkur as well
It's unfortunate that the video got a copyright strike, but even despite the fact that you had to remove the audio, this is still an incredible video, like always. This channel always helps me discover new things and see things from new points of view and pay attention to different details, and that's why it's one of my favourites ever. You're doing very important work by allowing people to share cultures like this.
If you want to have them react to more modern cultural music, then I recommend Blessing of Nature by Uutai Olena.
I also recommend Endurant by Bloodywood, which is an indian folk metal band that does songs that mix english and hindi lyrics.
I have never before heard of this group.
I like them very much and thank you each for your responses.
This is a very good project you have.
I find it stimulates my creative thinking and opens my mind.
G-d bless all of us
I would like to recommend to dive more into the music of AURORA (the female singer wearing the white dress). I'm pretty sure you will appreciate her songs with her beautiful voice and thoughtful lyrics
Check out , heilung and danheim if you like wardruna 👍🏽
Forndom and skáld are good also.
I love that you pay respects to every thing you introduce to these guys and explain it in a way that might make sense to them. Everywhere in the world has a deep history steeped in tradition and legend that deserves to be shared and respected
Greetings from Germany
I'm pagan myself and i try to be as open minded and close to the tribal believes of my ancestors
i always love learning about different cultures and see how they react to mine
hate has no place in human world
wish you all the best
if you are trying to be open minded thats great.
though one should note that if you are "trying to be close to the beliefs of your ancestors", they werent open minded themselves. Society has fortunately progressed since then.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Actually their culture and Norse culture is one and the same.
I think this another amazing video of cultural exchange through music! It is so heartfelt, even without knowing the meaning or words of oneanother. Remembering the dead and those who passed away is of tremendous importance in every culture. May the souls of all those kind people listed in the end of the video be blessed with a happy and prosperous eternal life. Insallah.
Sir Rind and Sir Bughio, bless you.
People can be smart from teaching, but you are _wise_ from experience. Sir Rind I saw in your eyes the music touched your soul gently. I wish you all a happy life and that the inevitable end we all meet someday will be one of comfort for you and your loved ones
I love when he says Hell Vegan. This just sounds so right
I'm from Sweden. I just want to give some more info, if you're interested?
Even though this is a Norwegian band - this kind of music played here has its roots in the old Nordic culture, which Norway, Sweden and Denmark all had as a common, shared culture, often referred to as old 'Norse-religion/culture'. The religion and culture we in the Nordic countries held before we got, more or less forcibly 'converted' to Christianity (Iceland has it too - which was colonized [although-no one lived there] by those from the Nordic countries who refused to abandon their old ways of the old 'Norse-tradition' and convert to Christianity).
This was the culture, customs and religion, held by the old Vikings - if you've heard of them? From around a 1000 years ago.
Cheers from Sweden!
I love this group of people you’ve gathered together! Thank you!
As a Muslim I listen to this song a lot brings a tear to my eye. Such a beautiful song with meaning to it 🙏🏽. Scandinavian culture is beautiful I love everything about the Norsemen and their gods. It’s sad how Christians satanised the Vikingr

I'd like to see our tribal friends react to "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, official video from Kalush Orchestra, and their live performance at Eurovision that won the finals.

There are many of us who still practice this today. We are the sons and daughters of this ancient religion. It is making its way back into the world.
Wow this is awesome reaction. This is why i support on patreon. Totally awesome that my heritage as a scandinavian or even germanic descent have alot of incommon with people from afar places. They might not understand the essence or rittual but they understand purpose and traditions. Something we in the west slowly forgetting. Traditions and culture is CENTRAL for a sound wellbeing.
More Aurora Solo music or Heilung would be cool to see for a reaction video
I think they already did that
@@prunabluepepper yeah they said in the video but i can't find it on there page or searching
It's all owned by Orchard music label and they blocked our Heilung reaction video entirely too. Sadly they did it months after it was posted and had more than 420,000 views. Anyways, I can do the same adjustments to it and re-upload if people are interested. Aurora - Runway is almost finished editing so it will be up in a few days. I'm not sure if that is also owned by Orchard music label or some other record label company. Hope it goes smooth
@@TRYBALS Thank you. How come other reaction channels get to have the full video and music with no problem? Aurora is on Decca records by the way. It's a shame cause I would think Heilung and AURORA would have no issue with that you're doing. Thanks for the videos. It's been very entertaining and great to see the tribal peoples reaction to what you've shown them so far.
@@adamwebb1987 well, I'm not sure why they hit some channels and leave some. But, it's never the artist/band that has any problem. In fact, they appreciate reaction videos most of the times. It's the record publishing companies that do all the copyright stuff
As an American born Scandinavian - this was pretty special to watch them react to music that truly touches my soul.
You're American. Not scandinavian. You hold no culture or understanding of your European DNA. It is DNA and no more. Even if you are first generation it is gone, I have 3 first generation American cousins and they are not European past their DNA so stop being delusional its insulting
how the fuck do you "born scandinavian"? you are american and nothing more
I'd love to see a reaction to Wardruna and their song white raven. It's a song like this about bringing ones soul to to heaven. The raven is the carrier and watcher over the soul. It's a beautiful song and even more beautiful video.
It is always interesting to see how other cultures react to my own heritage. Thanks a million for bringing this to the world in a sense. Once more it just proves we have more similarities than differences.
It's really interesting to see how Parvati Bheel's tribe has the exact same tradition of singing to people to soothe them as they're dying. Really beautiful to see how two completely different and unrelated cultures can have such things in common.
I would love to see them react to Einar Selvik's live performance at the International TV Gala, one of his best performances. Or one of Wardrunas incredible music videos to show what the northern culture also may look like, loving these videos!
Oh I'm glad I got to see this one. I love Wardruna 😊 Norse history and mythology is fascinating and this bands music is enchanting!
Unfortunately they are just a product of history.
I might be Christian, but this is my favorite song from my favorite band. Einar has such a powerful voice.
Both Einar's and Aurora's voices gel together so well in this song. Hardness enveloped in softness. Like a Viking and an Elf in a duette.
@@My2Cents1 Most definitely, but I still prefer the original song with just Wardruna alone.
You guys really really need too react too Eivor, she’s honestly phenomenal
I admire the dignity of these people! Blessed be all the people of the world!
As a Atheïst / Mythology person i really like Abdul's view. I like his view in most of these video's. It shows we are all much closer if we forget the strict rules
I commented on the Heilung video requesting you show them Wardruna, and here we are!
I really enjoy watching another culture appreciate and try to understand my culture instead of putting it down. This was a great reaction 🤝

ehh idc about eurosong at all personally, honestly.
Oh please... no no no no... I'd be so embarrassed.
This was the live stage performance. They do another performance in which they sing in a large cave in Norway. Which is awesome.
I have listened and watch this so many times! One of my faves
Thank you for trying to understand my culture.
The geezer with the yellow turban has a fantastic beard!
I think the oldest guy understood the most (Wisdom I guess). Very interesting to see the cultural comparison.
Nice I sang this for my friend when he passed. His heritage is Scandinavian so I figured it would fit
At 12:40 It's amazing how two different cultures/religions (one of them gone for hundreds of years) on opposite sides of the world share such similar sayings of wisdom.
HEILUNG & WARDRUNA
Dont mean to be douche plz excuse my pertinence, however paganism, polytheism, nowadays depiction of god n religion it's fairy tales to me... so Hail, humanity praise the Sun n the Universe (lots of positive energy) and HAIL METAL :P
This song is a high honor. It promises to tell the person's story after they die. It also offers a blessing,
Be free from the bonds that bound you
Be free from the bonds that bind you.
"No human would remain till the end, nor his money. All that would remain is what you gave to the world." AMEN!
Tradition is everything for any culture. When a people turn they’re back on they’re traditionally honored ways they die. The way to keeping the fire of your people alive is tradition. That is what bands like warduna are trying to do.
This is my heritage music so glad you got to experience it Hi from Denmark
Same, My family is from Denmark & Scotland. I have been following the Gods my whole life. It’s nice to see this music shared with others.
I am from the land of a culture, which is the origin of the origin of Norse religion.
as a pagan myself i am both glad and sad i am glad that my ancestors stories get told but i am sad that during ww2 the forces of evil took those same stories and twisted them for evil thus putting a blemish on our history and traditions nowadays if i write in the old script(germanic runes also known as the younger futhark) people would think of me as a world war 2 german soldier, i am but a man trying to transcribe to the future what happened here. I pray daily to my main deity Nehalennia that someone will carve the crimes of nations into stone so they cannot be forgotten
I have a better way. Not caring what others think and say. Does not make it so and if you know then where is problem?
Try not to worry too much about how the wicked have used your people's old ways to cloak themselves in an illusion of righteousness. They do that to every tradition, because they do not respect any.
They only understand the language of the sword.
This version of the song is easily one of my favorite things to watch and hear ever. I love how they all seem to connect to it in some way
I really love my own culture people listening to things I do in my own space, I love the open-ness
may all of your friends and family have many blessings, and that their life may be full of bliss and happiness for all time. To those that have passed, I wish for them the afterlife they believed in, with all the splendor that it entails. You are all amazing humans, even all of you here in the comments ( yes including any negative commenters, because I have hopes that your negativity will fade so you too may know happiness) You are all beautiful and deserving of happiness and bliss.
Hel is old Norse and does not mean Hell
As someone of germanic origin, it really comforts me to see many similarities and empathetic views to Pagainism and Islam. Peace be upon you my brothers
this song is beautiful in so many levels , in that song they show us that doesnt matter the religion they are helping souls to cross the way of death , that so many cultures believes that souls may be lost sometines after death and a guidence is necssary some cases , amazing real Magic happening there
My heart goes out to these people with their traditions but still looking at the world with an open mind
Seconding everyone who's said to check out Lyfjaberg by Wardruna. The song and the scenery in the video are both absolutely beautiful, and a lot of people have felt mental and spiritual healing when they listen to it.
I love how even with only the vocals and them being a bit out of tune due to copyright the song is still amazing. I love this song and its meaning. Thank you for sharing it and explaining it to the viewers both on screen and watching online. 💜🌈💜🌈
Thanks again love from North Carolina
Thank you for showcasing music again!! even if I couldn't watch with full sound. I still don't understand the whole copyright thing, and the ever changing rules of what is and isn't allowed. Anyway, hope everyone is well.
I have so much respect for these scolars who really understand the meaning behind this song.
As a Norwegian this was very interesting. Their perspectives would be instantly recognised here.
You should show them a translated version of the movie "13th warrior" it shows early Norway as seen through the eyes of a Muslim poet.
Great channel. Immediately subscribed. I can learn a lot from those people's wisdom.
Greetings from Germany.
Hel is the place where those who die in their beds go. It is NOT hell. Those who died on the battlefield went to Odin in Valhall, some were claimed by Frøya. The rest went to Hel. The goddess, Hel, nurtured and protected them. The song asks: who are going to sing for our dead now, like I sing you on your way to the land of death. My song will follow you over Gjallarbru all the way to the gates. You will not walk alone.
Omg yay lmao i was askin in a comment for them to do this one
You explained this so well. Thank you, much respect from Norway
It was hard both culturally and religiously but I tried my bests. Thank you, God bless 🤗❤️🌹
I'm of that Norse religion. Danish. We don't kneel and pray to our gods for wealth and other trivial things. We call upon them to watch us earn their respect. We don't kneel to our gods. And they can exist separate of the creating God, too, because if that one God created all, that God created the gods, too. Aspects of us to focus on. What trait we choose to focus on should be more important. Love? Hate? Curiosity? Mischief? Stength? Honor? Pride? Hubris? All is under the creator if there is ONE creator. If there is, we all seek the creator but in different ways by focusing as limited as humanity can in its limited form. Hel vegen is but a song to sing the dead to the next world, reminding us that our name and honor is borrowed from our children. Name and honor doesn't die if worthy of remembrance.
Well said, friend. Much respect, from a Germanic Pagan.
Always love seeing all the different thoughts and opinions from everyone, music is a universal language that everyone understands ❤️
why we cant hear everything? :(
only because of copyright issues? =(
Yeah sorry about that my friend, last time I uploaded their music they blocked the video and then had it deleted yesterday. They did the same with our Heilung reaction video after it reached 420,000 views. It's all owned by Orchard music (Norwegian audio label) and they always block our videos. So I had to come up with a different approach this time. You know a saying that goes "Something is better than nothing"
@@TRYBALS Well thats true to be fair ^^ Shame this Content gets blocked and such =( Its way to beautiful to not to hear ♪♫♪ And im always curious about the Reaction of those Trybal People and their Thoughts on it. Some very honest and wise Words here and there i rly like to hear because i wouldnt have expected them to think like that^^
Anyway Greetings : )
@@Insorteduplo I think the same but here we are. I haven't had such type of headache with any other reaction videos. They do block it if video is clear and not blurred or transparent but this record label company blocks looking at the audio metadeta instead so I had no choice. Greetings, hope everything is well.
Am I glad that Wardruna is now known around the world and beyond, it's such good music
When we look at another culture’s ancient past we all learn something about ourselves.💪
Wonderful thank you. I will pray for the wonderful folks mentioned :)
as a Norse Pagan seeing their acceptance made me tear up.
The difference is their culture never died while paganism in Europe vanished away.
EDIT: And yes Norse culture and other pagan culture are different manifestations of same one proto-indo-european culture.
