Shame on you!!!!

Beautiful voice

Tusen takk, lovely lady. I have read your manual and am 39 weeks into my own rune galdr and völva stav practice. I am growing and deepening in the most profound ways. 💚

Love your work Kari 😊

Feel it!

Powerful

Saw this on wisdom of odin

Imagine being her neighbour and not seeing this coming 😅

Lovely performance ❤

Beautiful!

In 2011 Mother and I were visiting our cousin Joren Merete who moved from Undredal. She thought I might like to see this historically powerful place, given my interest in our deepest roots. Little any of us know that this was the place of a lost grandmother to our mitochondrial line. We easily trace our mitochondrial lineage in the Aurlandsfjord Bygdebok - Me to my mother to hers, Myrtle, to Thea who was baptized at Bakke, to Oline who was born on Nedbergo, to Turid, then Ingeborg, Brita, and Ingeborg 2. Finally the line ended with Synneve whose sister Siri/Sigrid (who helped make other lines of my lineage in Naeroyfjord and etc.). But who was Synneve's mother? I found a few threads from the sisters on ancestry.com. I picked them up and brought them to Undredal where a cousin had other Bygdebok. We found the next two mothers there. They were from this very area. Ingeborg 3, mother of Sigri and Synneve, born in 1666 - And I am born in 1966. My 300 year grandmother touched these stones. And her mother was Martha Nornesættr...the M name for my grandma Myrtle in öorlog-spå. :)

True I worked my butt off from 2006 - 2016. Wow. That's what happens when the community supports the work. Some of this footage was shot in 2009 for Season One of #AltforNorge. Bjønndansen ein Rituel fra Trysil I learned from Mads Bøhle in 2011 whom I met while filming in 2009 at Rudigard. I am so grateful to the many teachers, collaborators, and friends who have nurtured me in this wonderful path! CD is available on Karitauring.com by the way. And Drew Miller will gladly ship one to you! :) Kari

The world falling apart was loud, but the world coming back together is quiet and in the spring of 2020 I declare it is quiet.

This is my "old" youtube page. I can't remember how to get back in there. Anyhow, ten years ago I first learned all these dance names and rhythms. I mis-spoke when I said that Pols meant pulse. It actually comes from Polish. This style of 3/4 dance came up into Norway and Sweden through the "polish dance polka." Still, when they get to Roros, Norway (which is one of the dances I was trying to do in the first video with my good friend Tamara Rogers), it does remind one of the human heart's pulse...a lub dub if you will. I am STILL learning how to do this dance that comes from North West of Trondheim where my cousins live. And I love singing this style of pols, Roros pols, with my friends, the Nordivas. :)

Kari, You're the coolest.

Love it. My stav has dangles.💜🎶

I saw this clip, and I instantly decided to try it. I got a miniature staff from my bag and a small stick and started to throat sing some runes. It worked! It was awesome! Thank you for the inspiration!

Wow - almost 10 years ago! A great group to perform with, Karin Odell stav and vocals, Drew Miller on Dulcimer, Andrea Sullivan on the Harp, David Stenshoel on fiddle and seljefløyte - at the @BryantLakeBowlTheater - and cut ins of spinning at David de Young's old Minneapolis House!

Great to witness such a genuine practitioner.

Also sobering - the photos of Tamara Rogers, Karin Odell, Robin Reyburn and I doing stav and dance in front of Ingebretsens on Lake Street were taken on August 1, 2007 by David de Young. It was the day that the I35W Bridge collapsed. We were singing and dancing and staving for strength and love to the victims of the disaster 10 years ago. It was the book release of my first work, The Runes: A Human Journey. We released the second work 10 years later.

Funny to think this is 8 years ago! Roots in Deep and Branches High :)

Wow... I've heard that her Norwegian accent was funny before but as a Swede I did not grasp the full extent of it. This, however, a Swedish song and the accent here is hilarious :)

7 years ago! Just before they came to see me for Alt for Norge. LOL - this is still how I call in the Spring - and the 2011 dance to this is so much fun that Carol Sersland put together. Runes are Algiz/Ehol - Elk/Moose - Gifu/Gebo - Voluntary Reciprocity - Mannaz/Manneheim - Community Poor Little Cow - come my hens - spring is here! Water Runes for 2016 - Ansuz, Hagalaz, Isaz, Laguz

Du you have the lyrics ?

Just beautiful!

I haven't watched this in such a long time! So many good friends pictures in here! The song are from the 2008 Volva Songs EP that you can find on my website: karitauring.com Fun. Infact...I am doing a new electronic version of VoluspaKariOla for my upcoming release Svart. And I am going visiting volva to the Artshanty Project 2016 this weekend when it is 5 degrees F. lol! Nordic Roots Running Deep! Wheeeeee!!!!

I love this song and Kari Tauring is an amazing to watch - so connected...

<3

As Icelander, it is interesting to see how how far Icelandic literature have spread around the globe. Good job!

This was so much fun. I will be performing Holda's Spinning Song again November 26, 2013 at the MacPhail Center in Minneapolis, MN. If anyone is in town, come by!

The truth of it but it will take a lot more will than that possesed by the few who know to even start to solve the problem - Kari's songs help more than most

Totally UTTERLY wonderful! (says misha)

Interesant dialekt for å sei det sånn....

In God With trust: I Love Viking Culture.

Incredible. Amazing. Today is 2012 and still survive the Viking tradition. If the womn not have seven childrens for marriage, this tradition will die.

Chills... your probably sick of me commenting so much... but your videos and songs are inspiring

Yay Kari. My favourite in season 1

Var kan man hitta sådana sånger att ladda ner på nättet?

oh course. not to sound like a weirdo, but i dont have many or really any woman in my life to look up to and i am really glad i found your videos and such because wow.really inspired. i have been on a journey to not only come back to earth,but also research&return to my own cultural backrounds and ancestral ways.I am mostly norwegian& irish- i sent you a message on your facebook. but again, thank you. what you do is very important especially in this day& age since cultural drainage is everywhere
