Anoana - HEILUNG Reaction with Mike & Ginger

[@shismith8785]

Heilung's music never fails to make me cry. It just gives you this surge of almost ancient, primal emotion. It feels like coming home. They're geniuses.

[@Alex-fo6bc]

Yes, same here. They speak to my blood and my soul.

[@I_scribbles]

The Great Mother speaks through Heilung and others, we who feel it in our hearts can hear her call. You can feel it flowing through you, you may cry because they remind us of who we are as humans and the subconscious part of us jumps awake and its overwhelming to feel that connection and tears of regret for how we live and tears of how beautiful that lifestyle is, is. If you react that way than you hear mothers calling back to the natural way of being one of her children.

[@shismith8785]

@@I_scribbles I've always had a deep connection to the earth, she is our mother after all 🌻

[@AresDK11]

[@LolGurrl91]

I get teary-eyed sometimes when I listen to this song, it touches something in me and I feel so full of emotions and peace.

[@MikeandGinger]

I completely understand - G

[@zag7165]

Their music crawls into your skin. Brilliant.

[@HenryAusLuebeck]

I was born in Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein and live there. In the Middle Ages my homeland was Danish, now German. Because of this, I have a loving connection with my northern neighbors. P.S. It doesn't matter where you were born. Your character makes the man. Peace

We are all Germanic

[@papa2bdj]

I find it interesting that many of the reactors, yourselves included see the scene where the little girl has a dead bird in the palm of her hand. The scene changes for a moment or two, and at that moment the reactors take their eyes off the screen, completely missing the bird coming alive in the girls hand and flying off. I have to resist yelling at the reactors, knowing full well they cannot hear me.

[@kevinverhoeven6596]

Heilung speaks to something inside me that has no voice but demands to be heard.

[@P8290970]

sums it up perfectly, I discovered Heilung a few years ago on youtube and from the first listen i was hooked. I can't really explain it but they struck a chord deep within me that I'd never known before. Maria Franz voice is fantastic.

[@OzLeedsCrew]

Wearing my Heilung t-shirt and listening to their music today I started carving their 'warrior' logo into my rock wall at home. Stumbling onto these guys with their first album changed me forever. Amplified history. Love it!

[@Io-Io-Io]

That imagery is beyond words... paired with the music...Cathartic

[@Nidels]

On this occasion, the members of the group provide us with invaluable information about the song and its lyrics. 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. A hug.

[@OroborusFMA]

Maria Franz has so much talent it take three bands to express it all.

[@bazkeen]

Just ethereal. Love this band 💞💞

[@KaedonVik]

Yes thank you for looking into my culture hail Odin the All father Skal 🍻❤️🪓🛡️🤘🏻

[@benharder7816]

The term for being in nature and feeling a resounding sense of calm and serenity has a German-specific word called Waldeinsamkeit. It's more than just serenity, but also invokes something deeper within the soul, an inherent connection with nature.

[@heavenwithin81]

It's like your heart is calling out for a deeper connection to all life to return to humanities consciousness once again. It will.

[@MikeandGinger]

Always ✌🏻 - G

[@TheNeonParadox]

I've been mid-move since they released this, so I'm just now getting around to checking out the reaction channels' responses to it. This song made me three times as excited to see them in September. I literally cried when I first heard this.

[@MikeandGinger]

I hope your move went well! - G

[@TheNeonParadox]

@@MikeandGinger It has gone very well. Thank you for your well-wishes!

[@seanstevenson9891]

One day they'll make a movie worthy of that soundtrack. ♥️

[@kevinverhoeven6596]

Maybe Senua II will do that, they are making the soundtrack for that game.

[@FenrisEx]

That*s proto-germanic culture coated in a song. There is no movie. It's history.

[@MrToastyTank]

Such a powerful song wow it hit me in a deep way

[@KaedonVik]

Thank you for looking into my culture Skal 🍻🧡❤️🪓🛡️🤘🏻

[@robgerhardterellen1488]

Healing is the spirit.

[@stanleyarmstrong2898]

Anoana, the Landawarijer. Guarduan of Earth. Born under the dark sun. The final scene is her challenge against the mukox bull. They became one in spirit. Maria Franz said that we will hear more from Anoana. Thus is a good first part of the Land WarriorSaga

[@ulrichkristensen4087]

Fun fact, the Muskox is not a bovine, in fact it is a kind of Goat😊

[@christianbolze7092]

You are so quick! What a gorgeous song! Very animistic and shamanistic. :)

[@brianbown7332]

They have really taken it to the next stage on this one. Hauntingly powerful.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I really appreciate the sound engineering on this one, how the male voice(s) dance around from right to left and all points in between. I always feel a stirring in my soul whenever I listen to Heilung, though that feeling is stronger with Wardruna. Still, Heilung is brilliant and I always look forward to experiencing them. As for Ginger's request about nature, there's a nature preserve near me with a bunch of trails going through it. One of the trails is a long trek to a pine forest with huge pines. My wife and I go there a few times a year in the early morning because everything feels still, there's a mist that hasn't burnt off yet, and the sun is still rising. What little sounds there are come from nature, the smells are fresh and earthy and pine-y, and it's usually a bit cold so we get close and feel like the world is standing still around us.

[@MikeandGinger]

I love that ❤️ - G

[@Koyaanissquatsi]

Just saw them last weekend at the Graspop Metal Meeting festival, getting goosebumps just thinking about it. They didn't play this gem though. Thanks for the great reaction Mike and Ginger!

[@shismith8785]

I'm stupid jealous

[@slipperei]

i just saw them yesterday in Hellfest for the first time, front row. what an experience that was.

[@MikeandGinger]

Same - G

[@threepic]

Love this song! Just so powerful!!

[@WhiteTiger333]

The most into wilderness I have been was in the early '60s when, as a young teen, I attended a camp in the Quetico-Superior. After a few days preparing at base camp, we canoed into the wilderness for 10 glorious days. It is the only time I've had the awesome privilege of seeing a night sky completely devoid of surrounding artificial light.

[@rolfbjork9094]

Consider yourself lucky then. Because today it's near to impossible to get to a non light polluted area, they're pretty much non existing anymore. The US is supposed to have the best spots though, compared to Europe.

[@thesnowroach]

The moment of silence you have at the end of the song while you pull yourself back to reality, and try to process what you thought and felt. That's priceless to me. I value that feeling more than happiness and love, it runs deeper than both, it's the primordial soup that all other feelings emerge from.

[@johntiggleman4686]

I watched a review/analysis by The Charismatic Voice, and she was speechless at the end for about 10 seconds. The first time I saw the video (a few days after its release) I had the same reaction. Only one other song has had me speechless is "Nights In White Satin" by The Moody Blues. And I play that often.

[@bradyfrey2941]

In the description of this music video in particular it tells where and what the lyrics are from. And the general time around the lyrics history.

[@BelegaerTheGreat]

So glad to see someone as obsessed with this song and its themes as I am!!!

[@asmodinaveldrin239]

I am so glad to see that you both like this song. It is my fav song from Heilung at the moment.

[@Cyberfriend-il8vv]

It brings peace to your heart its about the reborn god of nature you have to look deep and its so fanstic as your reaction,wow so great love to watch you

[@earendilthemariner5546]

I was wondering when they were gonna release a new album. Glad its this year. The second album im excited for this year (both are in august too)

[@neztorh5508]

I love this song. Beautiful

[@goeranm55]

Great reaction. Can I just add som points that are important in seeing this? The most important being that the child is born under an eclipse (seen in background several times). According to previking believs they had very special gifts: hamnskifte (= the ability to change appearance), age shift, talking to animals etc The previking time and it's religion in nordic countries is much more female directed than the religion in the later years (viking gods like Tor and Oden... )

[@Trestin13]

Though the ritual of sedir(sp) is still prominently led by women. Odin even became a woman to learn it.

[@MikeandGinger]

Very cool. Thank you - G

[@BelegaerTheGreat]

Oh wow! I missed it, thanks!

[@johntiggleman4686]

The term used "hamnskifte" in regards to changing appearance reminds me of Beorn in the Lord Of The Rings...he was called a "Skin Changer."

[@goeranm55]

@@Trestin13 Sedir (sp) would correspond to the norse word sejd which a magic ritual mainly given by women (as you say) . Whe sejding (it is a verb) they pronounce or sing a GALDR en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galdr modern version se 2:10 in kzbin.info/www/bejne/raTPXn5-fMpngc0&ab_channel=1210beth

Animism - A Animist is a person who believes that everything has a soul or spirit. This is called Animism, and all Pagan religions share this belief. Rivers, animals, rocks, trees, land are all filled with there own unique spirits for people who are Pagans.

[@johntiggleman4686]

This is the second review/analysis of "Anoana" I've watched where both had the reviewers speechless for a few seconds. That should tell you all you need to know about this stunning song and video.

[@MikeandGinger]

Indeed - G

[@ironwhistlesArt]

The end is easily explained, i think thar was not a Prequel. More a Sequel. Shamans in the north, depending on the tribe they belonged to, put an end to their lives when they felt that they were weakening or had reached a certain age so that their mind and strength could pass to the next generation. From their point of view, this ensured that the trunk was always accompanied and protected by a strong shaman.

[@missrubyphoenix]

The only thing I'd love to know is what's the meaning behind the very last scene, adult Anoana, healer or land (word from Maria Franz herself) runs towards a byson and clashes with it? Brothers and sisters from Heilung's family, please help!

[@Judymoe]

But it's the best kind of cacophony!

[@epiendless1128]

I came across an interpretation - no idea if this was one person's idea or they had information to back it up. Anoana is a demigoddess of protection, whose birth fortells the coming of Christianity. The ox (it's a musk ox, but whatever) is a symbol of the unifying spread of Christianity. Hence the young girl welcomes her new Christian friends, but as a woman she realises the end has come. 😥
