Heilung "Anoana" first time EVER reaction

[@Hauke-ph5ui]

The founding members of Heilung are from Germany, Denmark and Norway. They use a lot of languages in their songs btw (German, English, Gothic, Old High German, Icelandic, Latin, Old English, Proto-Norse, Proto-Germanic, and Viking age Old Norse). A lot of inspiration for the songs and the music is drawn from old runic inscriptions; the instruments are hand-crafted and like instruments that might have been used in the early Middle Ages.

It showed the end; she merged with her spirit animal.

And became The Guardian of The Land. As destined for a child born under a solar eclipse. It's an old myth.

Being a practicing Pagan, this awakens something deep within me. Blessed Be from the UK. )O(

[@crazymelomanka]

I have Germanic roots, even I feel it in my bones, it's like longing for the times you never knew...

[@Vershond]

So glad to see Heilung on here. If you want to see a longer vid of theirs, highly recommend the Lifa full show video. It was of their first live performance and they absolutely killed it

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

Thank you 💜🦋🎶

[@ATrainHC]

I saw them live once. It's a spiritual experience. I didn't know what any of the songs were about, but I could still feel it. It's a unique experience.

[@dannydaniels2787]

This group is no accident...despite what they may say in interviews. They have a deep understanding of esoteric and occult knowledge. Bringing that knowledge to the masses is beautiful...why their music resonates with millions.

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

[@garthparsons3880]

Paganism has absolutely nothing to do with the occult, but rather a connection with nature...Ie in this instance Mother Nature. Nowhere are they celebrating the occult.

[@jord001]

I sobbed the first time i saw and heard this, it really hit me in the feels like a primal feeling. Got me again this time too, just a little tear in my eye though. Its the Being one with nature in this that gets me i think. Glad you liked it.

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

Thank you for the comment 💜🦋🎶

[@mknorske4015]

I love your comment because this group is one of my favs. They have so much beautiful music. You should make sure to listen to other music of their’s, its amazing ❤

[@somthingbrutal]

you won't find subtitles for this if i remember right its proto-Germanic and the lyrics are mainly taken from bracteates: golden, circular coins or amulets found in Northern Europe that date from the 4th to 7th centuries ...

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

It was saying it’s an ancient language which is super interesting 💜🎶🦋

[@somthingbrutal]

@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing they sing in many languages including occasionally english

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

This shows you that music transcends language. As you listen, you understand each emotion perfectly!!

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

Yes!! Agreed and this is unlike anything I’ve ever heard which I’m always interested in stuff like that! 💜🦋🎶

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing You may want to check out the band Faun ft Eluveitie and the song "Gwydion" as it too transcends language

[@sanjuro66]

Wonderful reaction. So Heilung is pronounced like "High-Loong" (like "ooh"). And Anoana like "Ah-No-Ah-Nah". I'll be traveling to Europe in September, and it just so happens they'll be playing in Stuttgart. Needless-to-say, I got tickets. ;)

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

Thank you 💜🎶🦋🤘🏻

[@sharkking9679]

It´s not a concert, it´s a ritual. Wish you have the same great experience as i had

[@ManuelGuajardo-zd7hx]

Ok good answer butterfly. Thank you wintersun Alex ❄️❤️👋

[@HairyManlyMan]

Im pretty sure that there is no closed captions for proto germanic anywhere😂

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

Facts 😂💜🎶🦋

[@mikeyb2932]

On other reactions I have watched, I have seen people comment with what they *claim* are translations to this piece. I always found it funny that those people claim to have translated this into something meaningful, when the people who wrote it didn't even know the meaning of the words, except for one. Even if the individual words had been translated since then, it would be highly improbable that the words being song would have been put in an order so that the translated piece would make sense. Here is a short clip with the members of Heilung, and Maria talking a bit about the lyrics. HEILUNG - "Anoana" - Behind the Music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp3TkJ6prbajmLs

[@HalkerVeil]

Correct. Not indian or native American nor African, it's early Nordic. Apparently we caucasians have tribes too. Mostly lost to history. But they're trying to bring it back.

[@kennymonty8206]

In the first scene, she's sitting in a fairy ring. A ring of fungi. Look. It's kind of fun.

[@Thorgrim247]

Diving into some Northern European pre-Christian era music. Awesome. Takes us back in time. Designed as a trance inducing spiritual experience. A powerful statement of womanhood. However, not quite that powerful. It only represent the willingness to take on the challenge that life presents. Like you battling through your sore throat. Be well Tiff! 🙏🙏Oops, mums the word. 👌🏻🌹🌹🦋🦋

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

It is awesome and different which I like and everyone knows now so it’s okay 🙃🦋💜🎶🤘🏻

[@richardh1467]

👍👍👍

[@pepsiman990]

Some music in a similar vein: The Hu - Wolf Totem Rock band out of Mongolia. Yes, Mongolia has rock bands. Bloodywood - Aaj Metal band out of India. Yes, India has metal bands. They sing in both Hindi and English.

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

Wow 🤯 🎶💜🦋

[@fredschepers5149]

😳 Funny enough I thought about Wolf Totem from the Hu after the first notes as well... Cool. I thought I was the only one ☺️

The show with the kid with antlers SWEET TOOTH

Yes!! 🎶💜🦋🤘🏻

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction! This song always gives me a calm, peaceful feeling.

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

Yes 🎶💜🦋

[@harryrabbit2870]

Exactly, you pretty much nailed it. Heilung performs their music ritually. I'm sure others will suggest looking at the 2017 Castlefest life performance so you can see their stage act. Yes, they ARE unique and better live than their studio recordings. All 3 founding members are connected to their ancient pagan roots. The lyrics are meant to be enjoyed without necessarily understanding the words. So much of the video references things lost to our modern world. For instance, the main character who has been searching for her spirit animal throughout the video merges with the musk ox. Her destiny for good or evil is not set which is why her mother was crying right after birth. It's a really interesting band. Good reaction.

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

Thank you for your kind words 🦋💜🎶

[@natsinthebelfry]

The part where you likened the singing to native Americans was actually the part that's a type of Swedish and Norwegian herding call, called kulning or lokk.

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

Nice 💜🦋🎶

[@McPocalypsus]

Pre-Christian Europeans had a very similar relationship to Nature and life in general as any other pre-Christian culture, irrespective of their ethnic group or geographical location. This fact is surprising to many people today who typically associate a close relationship to nature only with First Nations people in North and South America, Polynesians, or Australian Aboriginals. Heilung (which means healing) creates music that focuses on the pre-Christian Germanic and Nordic cultures.

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

💜🦋🎶

[@johnterry1852]

I will be sending you some more of these in the future. I think the more you listen, the more you'll understand and love it. I think all music comes from One Source. If you listen to ancient music, whether it's American Native or Russian native or Chinese native or whatever native, it is all similar with a deep basic beat for Mother Earth

[@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing]

It was unlike anything I’ve ever heard so I really like stuff like that so thank you 💜🦋🎶

[@Searover749]

In all countries, on all continents, ancient tribes believed in the spirits of nature. Shamanism still exists in the first nations of america, africa, asia, oceania, but had almost disappeared in europe. But nowadays, some new paganist "tribes" are being re-founded in europe, far from the wrong "values" of modern life...

[@larryc3860]

Heilung ( "Healing" ) call their music Amplified History, an so it is......singing in authentic or imagined protoScandinavian or protoEuropean dialects, their music is hypnotizing.....they make many of their instruments and costumes.....Maria becomes a pre-Christian shaman when she sings ( in a good way )......I think the shocking ending shows Anoana merging with the ox in a perpetuation of nature's circle of life.......

[@NZWozza]

Heilung is beautiful, you have got to see a live video.

[@ripvanwinkle9648]

This song is simply amazing. I never get tired of listening to it. If you wish to react to another group that sounds unlike anything you have heard before, I highly suggest OTYKEN, out of Siberia. For a newbie, I would go with the music video for their song "Phenomenon".
