Gealdýr - Ask ok Emblu

Ask and Embla are the first humans to be created in Norse mythology.
The story of how they were created, as it has come down to us in Old Norse literature, goes like this:
Not too long after the world itself was created, Odin was walking along the coast of one of the new land masses. With him were two other gods: in one version, these were his brothers Vili and Ve, and in another version, they were the obscure figures Hoenir and Lodurr.
The three deities found two tree trunks, perhaps pieces of driftwood, lying on the beach. They were shaped like a man and a woman, but they were lifeless and powerless. So the three gods decided to give them what they lacked and make them true humans. Odin blew into them the breath of life, while his two companions imparted inspired mental activity, a healthy complexion, and the ability to speak, hear, and see. They dressed them in suitable clothes and named the man “Ask” and the woman “Embla.” Ask and Embla were then given Midgard, the world of human civilization, for their dwelling-place. They became the father and mother of the entire human species.

Original Old Norse lyrics and English translation:
Unz þrír kvámu ór því liði
öflgir ok ástkir æsir at húsi,
fundu á landi lítt megandi
Ask ok Emblu örlöglausa.
Önd þau ne áttu, óð þau ne höfðu,
lá né læti né litu góða;
önd gaf Óðinn, óð gaf Hœnir,
lá gaf Lóðurr ok litu góða.
Lá gaf Lóðurr ok litu góða.
-
Three Gods, powerful and passionate,
left Asgard for Midgard.
They found Ask and Embla,
weak, fateless in that land.
They had no breath,
no soul, no hair, no voice, they looked inhuman.
Odin gave them breath, Honir gave them souls,
Loth gave them hair and human faces.
Loth gave them hair and human faces.

You need a tribe of like mindeds. That is the piece that we all miss. The modern world makes that difficult for people.

It's raining outside at night and the windows are covered with raindrops. The lights are off. I'm lying on the sofa and have lit a candle while playing this song through my stereo. I watch the flickering of the candle on my wall. Magical ❇🎧

I am really really happy that this is my taste in music. Thank you, Gealdyr. Hopefully you and Wardruna would make a collab. That would be very good. I live not too far from the north, I am from Lithuania. I would come to see you all in concerts, of course I'd love to grab a beer with you all, and talk about how we all and each live. Talk about the cold, the life.

[@UkiWoDao]

Your higher notes are really something else; and the layering and subtle reverb in most of your songs give it this unmistakable ethereal/nostalgic and mystic air. Beautiful.

[@danb4751]

Been listening to your music since the beginning of channel. You have yet to release a bad song. They are all phenomenal. Keep up the great work!

[@MrMadmaggot]

I read chapter 185 from Berserk while listening this song without knowing what Ask ok Emblu meant. It made the experience much better when I found out what it meant. BTW: ch 185 is the backstory of Farnese and Serpico

My ex girlfriend was a Norse Vitki and would call me Ask instead of my name (Jürgen). In return, I would also call her Embla to honor the first humans. I miss my Embla. Heilir Óðinn, Vili ok Vé. Heilir Ask ok Emblu ok heilir allir Æsir ok skálmar ok fylgjendr Gamla leiða. Fylgdu á vegi forfeðra okkar ok guðanna. Ek man eftir þér, Embla.
