Haha thank you for noticing the Damascus steel blade. I spent good money on it so I could get those close up shots and know it would look authentic. As someone who does NOT wield a sword for a living (alas!) it was also VERY heavy by the end of the day 😂
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this! It was a lot of fun to be a part of and put together. So many people to thank for that, but ultimately we all had a ball. 😁⚔️🔥
Wow, just noticed that I'm already subscribed but it wasn't giving me notifications. I first found out about you because of the Vaden Lullaby, but have loved your work you've done around Stormlight Archives. I need to dip more into your other work like this.
Thank you Sean! I'm so glad you are interested in my Celtic Fantasy music. I would love to write more Stormlight music again, but so far inspiration has been a bit dry. I'm enjoying creating music like this one. Thanks for checking back in. 💚 Glad to have you here!
great vocals and armor-sweet swords-Damascus steel...my own 2 handed bastard sword is plain steel but is painted with its name-Widowmaker in runes-continued success...
Thank you! I purchased my sword from Battling Blades. Here's the website: battlingblades.com/?fbclid=PAAaZtunSAap0BmqIH8hWPHKaWY59oI7zML1Sb8UpReN0MCxfv8ztat_DjHek I really wanted to get those close up shots of the Damascus blade so I opted for a real sword as opposed to a prop or LARP sword. It is actually very heavy!! So cool that your sword's name is painted on the blade. I love that! My sword is called Darksong.
is there an address where I can send you a pic? I'm mark btw and used to be with the SCA years ago. great sword name-my battle axe is Foeripper and my recurve bow is Ravens-wing@@TheDarkeyedMusician
@@soerenschulz3180 And we're all Indoeuropeans and should unite together against our common enemy we're facing today from beyond the Caucasus and the Urals.
Great music. Great video. Only question, why is the one shieldmaiden holding her Lagertha shield, the one with the double Elhaz or algiz rune used in the TV series, upside down, turning a rune of life and victory into one of demise, which is what the reversal means?
I would love to answer this comment with something wise and cryptic like: "Victory only comes to those who first meet their demise" or "death to self is victory for eternity!" Edit: Alas, the actual response is that I painted it upside down by accident. Now that you brought it up I was trying to recall why that was the case. I did a bit of research on Viking shields and this was one of the simplest designs. I did NOT know that's what it meant upside down! Which is actually quite hilarious! 😂 In retrospect. Thanks for the comment! The handles on the back for carrying it did not allow me to hold it the other way unless I switched arms. And I can't hold my sword in my left hand lol
@@TheDarkeyedMusician Very good. Let's continue on friendly terms. We all learn and still learn, as I follow the example of Odin, my main patron. I may use your video in a future edition of our Pagan newsletter, we always start with several videos. Have a great Ostara!

A lot of "tough women" here on the Homeless Streets and Sidewalks think they are tough to burn people and beat them to break their teeth. But they do not sing the praises as the old Cultures did. Why not? Please ask an American Society and Government.
Beautiful song, but...women bearing swords, lances, and battle axes?! Women are about love, sweetness, birthing and death care. They are embracing energy. That's the only thing I see wrong with this picture. Yes, they can be warriors, but...let's hope we can very soon relegate war to the past. Make a law against ever using war again to solve human problems. See the book, Not-Two Is Peace.
Thanks for watching and your thoughtful comment. I enjoy a good theme and had a lot of fun playing "warrior" for this one! ☺️ But I have many other songs that may suit your tastes.

@@TheNerdyFlutist I am helping not make a fool of herself or piss off those cultures that DO use face paint, and that face paint HAS MEANING. Smearing some paint on your face in the misguided belief that Vikings did that, rather defeats the feel of the music she is trying for. No one wears native american head gear to play viking, so why face paint? I like the song.

Woman warriors. I just love it. As my Ancestors are the ancient Celtic woman we rise up and sing. AHO!
Nothing but nothing is better than Celtic Music, it stirs my soul.
This song gives me so much strength and joy,.because it is sung with so much strength and joy ❤️
Thank you for your lovely comment! This song was a joy to write and sing and I gave it my all. I'm glad it can inspire you 🔥⚔️💪

Hail from Sweden my fellow Shildmaidens. We will unit in Valhalla.

**LYRICS**
Vs. 1:
Sword of my mother and blood of her kin
Kindle and stoke the fire within
Warrior’s call
The fate of us all
We fight for the world
Our destiny unfurled
Shoulder to shoulder in battle we stand
To fight and defend our hearth and homeland
Warrior’s call
The fate of us all
Horse, blade and shield
Together we wield
Chorus:
Sword shining bright
Glint of steel in the morning light
Clamor and ring our cries!
Hail to the blood
Our sisters shed in the name of glory!
Raise up your eyes
And sing the shieldmaiden’s song
Vs. 2:
Courage, my sisters, the vict’ry is nigh
Smoke in the valley and blood in the sky
Warrior’s call
The fate of us all
The ice and the chill,
The rush and the thrill
Death comes to all now
We relish its kiss
Fear not for your future Valhalla is bliss
Warrior’s call
The fate of us all
With strength and desire
We plunge into the fire
Chorus:
Sword shining bright
Glint of steel in the morning light
Clamor and ring our cries!
Hail to the blood
Our sisters shed in the name of glory!
Raise up your eyes
And sing the shieldmaiden’s song

And the shield is not Celtic pattern.

On The Eighth of April
Eight flowers bloomed on the Eighth of April
On the day three horns blew
There was no place to run to
They knew there and then
They were through
Repent and be baptized by the rain and dew
All that is left
Is all that were true
Come together and be ready for the sun that is due
We will survive
Me and you
All who have the breath of life
All who have soul
Who feel even the small breeze
Erase the night with just our sight
The night is over
Now time for the light
