    Hi from germany, I love Heilung and in this new song you have to go very deep in to nordic and germanic history, its about the reborn god of nature (the child) its about the conection to nature we are all connected to nature. Heilung considers themselves to be a tribe and their fans brothers and sisters

    Hi: The lyrics for this piece are mainly taken from bracteates: golden, circular coins or amulets found in Northern Europe that date from the 4th to 7th centuries CE. They are often fitted with a decorated rim and loop, which indicates that they were meant to be worn and perhaps provide protection, fulfil wishes or for divination.
    The bracteates feature a very significant iconography influenced by Roman coinage. They were predominantly made from Roman gold, which was given to the North Germanic peoples as peace money.
    In Anoana, the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of likely encoded spells from the Migration Period and get a touch of magic from the Dark Ages.
    The intention of the piece is to playfully reconnect to an incantational language of a period where the North was richer in gold than any other region. Our forefathers presumably enjoyed a time of great prosperity and it may make us rethink how dark these ages real
    Above the sign on the womb of the giving birth mother is probably a painted version of Ægirs Hjelm/Aegishjalmur/Ægishjálmr ("Ægir's Helmet"), which is a symbol described in the Poetic Edda as a symbol of ultimate protection, physical, mental and spiritual referred to as protection against all kinds of fear "Ægir/Ægi" means "Sea" in both dialects of Old Norse and is also the name of the personification of the sea. "Ægir's Gate", describes the eddies that drag ships to the bottom of the sea. Ægir / Ægi has often been described as an old man with a long white beard, and to see him standing still in the water was a bad omen, as he surfaced to drag people and ships to the bottom of the ocean. Ægirs Hjelm is described in the Poetic Edda in a stanza with a shape-shifting dragon, Fafner, whose blood is poisonous. The dragon guards a treasure and, with the help of Ægirs Hjelm's spell, is invincible. In The Galdrabók, the symbol is also described as something "you wear on your forehead, between your eyebrows"). In any case, this must be taken with tweezers since it may be wrong.
    About the solar eclipse perhaps these images would be connected with the symbol of the black sun. For the ancients, the sun was the source of life, as it provided them with heat and energy. The lack of him was just the opposite. For the ancient peoples, it seems that the periodicity and continuity of day and night made us think not only of the existence of 1 sun, but of two suns, one bright and luminous and the other black. One represented life and the other death. This could be translated as the balance between light and dark and its connection to the world of the dead and the living. In it, the dawn of the day was interpreted as the rebirth of life and its renewal. That is why eclipses were so important for all primitive and ancient cultures: When the sun disappeared in broad daylight, they predicted that eclipses would bring about great changes, or that even in the worst case, the world could come to an end.
    This is the original letter:

      Not to be pedantic, but the sun would be a “her” amongst the Northern European/Germanic people.
      Also, time was measured by the absence of the sun… eg, the new day starts at sundown rather than sunup, and years were counted by winters, hence the line in The Wanderer, “a man cannot have wisdom without his share of winters”.

    The baby, the young girl and the young woman are the same person- Anoana. When the baby is being born there are two shaman-like figures standing over the mother- are they there to confirm their predictions about the birth? The little nubs of antlers on the newborn’s head confirm it’s an unusual child. Lastly when the adult Anoana charges towards the musk ox it looks to me like she’s fully merging with nature thereby becoming her tribe’s conduit to the world around them. A sacrifice if you will.
    All speculation on my part but it seems to fit. The origin of the lyrics is taken from one or several ancient coins I think. Heilung are a fascinating group. And the song is as you say, beautiful.

  • @goeranm55
    @goeranm55 2 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    Can I just add some points that are important in seeing this? The most important being that the child is born under an eclipse (seen in background several times). After the birth you see a circular path of darkness which is one of the possible destinies for the child, and it scares the mother. According to previking believes they (those born under eclipses) had very special gifts: hamnskifte (= the ability to change appearance), age shift, talking to animals, healing (of the bird) etc The previking time and it's religion in nordic countries is much more female oriented than the religion in the later years (with viking gods like Tor and Oden... ). Also healing of the bird. They sing in a reconstructed version of the previking proto norse language.... The bracteates are the starting point for this tale, because they are one of the few "written" recordings of this language. But Sweden and Norway are also full of drawings (hällristningar = rock carvings) as memory of them. Example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Carvings_in_Tanum
    Caveat: I did publish similar comments to other reactor earlier, but I do think this is important in order to appreciate it

      My grandfather used to tell me legends about nature's guardians.
      Children born under the eclipse.
      He called them "hamingjur", they were shapeshifters, could change ages and turn into animals and some had healing powers, others more spiritual.
      By "hamingjur" did he mean the same thing as "hamnskifte"?

    • @goeranm55
      @goeranm55 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@andreamuller9009 Loved to read this. The short answer is yes, but more elaborate: I don't know the language of your grandpa, but the end syllable fits old norse diur for animal (dyr in norw, djur with silent d in Swe and Tier in German) . Hamn in older swe and norw can mean appearance skin or total dress. So appearance as animal

    Hi Adam, thx for your great reaction, love your aurora reactions too ^^,
    Like it was said before, Heilung released their new LP, an oh boy it's a journey. The last days I was on vacation and listend to some tracks at a beach, some pieces hit meat hard first time listening to them, but not all, because I had them on shuffle, mistake, the LP is telling you Story, a journey of some sort you can feel and every single track is an episode of that journey.
    Today I've got home and listened to the whole LP without pausing, so great, so intense, so special, so magical and some tracks left me even speechless, or one made me cry, it was Nesso (the pain thats expressed with that track is palepable). Well Anoana is one hell of a great piece, but Asja, Nesso, Tennet are also amazing, especially if you enjoy Maria Franz vocal. Nikkal and Marduk just wow. Ja, if you have the time, give the LP a shot, or their Live concert LIFA, just for fun, it was their very first live concert ever ;)

    We Northern Europeans were barbarians, primitive and primal but no better or worse than tribes the world over. Then Rome taught us dreams of dominion and the Church told us that it was our sacred right. We became the White race we are today--and we own that evolution--but we were once something different, something yet uncorrupted.

    Seeing the change in your facial expression during the lullaby part and then the hard swallow afterwards made me immediately connect with what you were feeling.
    I do not know what it is, but I have a strong suspicion, that there is something deep inside many of us, that we were told by society not to show and feel. Something about being vulnerable and just letting go of this outer hard shell we all need in the every day life... And whatever Heilung did, this part makes me feel that need to just be held and feel save.
    Your smile and little nod at Anoana bringing the bird back to life also represents exactly what I am feeling every time I watch this.

      Some people pause the video throughout to talk about it, which can sometimes help to stop blocks. I prefer to wait till the end to talk about it. In letting the whole video play, it is usually blocked straight away and is a risk as to whether it remains blocked entirely after disputing it or not. A filter usually helps to stop it from being blocked initially.

    This song inspired me to write out a short scene to a story I want to eventually craft into a larger novel. The way the lyrics are sang and the imagery used for the video really paint a vivid picture in your mind of the story it is trying to tell and the way the birth scene is setup is beautiful and how the camera pans up into the tunnel as if we are viewing this from the mothers eyes.
