Heilung on what being a Pagan really means, airport woes and how one joins the Warrior Choir

[@BubblesXplode]

I've been to Heilung concerts twice, and both times it was a soul booming experience. No drugs, no alcohol, and yet still the music FLOWS through your body like a wave. Thanks for your hard work guys!

[@JoshuaSigloch]

When Anoana's music video dropped. I got chills for the first time listening to a song. It has, to this day, become my mantra that I sing and listen to whenever I feel like I need protection.

[@tenko8519]

Saw them live in Denver last November. My god it was amazing, the beat from the skin drums is intense in the best way possible. When Asja played, my body moved on its own to the beat, that is a highlight song for me. Heilung forever!

Commenting on that last part about pagans not being welcomed in a church. Last week I went to a concert of Sowulo in the Netherlands in the city of Nijmegen in the Stevenskerk (Church). Nijmegen the oldest city of the Netherlands, of Roman origin. If you don't know Sowulo, it's a Dutch pagan band with similarities to Heilung. It was such a strange yet immense experience. When they blew their Horns in a Christian Holy Place first it was as if pagans were re-claiming our place. Because their horns were so intimidating and we sat there with a little over a 100 people, assuming many of which who consider themselves pagan. Yet after there was a sense and feeling if connection. I remember my man and I say to one another "what a time to be alive, being able to perform a pagan show in a Christian church. Who would have imagined that for the last couple of centuries".

[@ArchangelGavriel]

I am a "Christian" (I use that term lightly seeing as many professing Christians don't act the way they are commanded to) and i would totally allow you guys in. Hospitality is a major point and should always be observed. From a true follower of the One Creator, blessings to Heilung. I would welcome you with open arms, brothers and sisters.

[@MrNoncomformist]

That's refreshing to read my friend. paganism, Christianity no issue it's the extremism that's the issue if it is christ which I do not think it is at all nor any pagan god I personally think it's something so far more complex yet simple than that but at the end of it I believe it's who you are. We are all brothers and sisters it's the love and what you do is the most important just like there are many ways to succeed in a single job. Just with life there are many ways to reach the final destination

[@ArchangelGavriel]

@@MrNoncomformist Thank you for the comment. The Bible reads that Jesus was always hanging around the "sinners" because those were the ones that need saving. He believed that you needed to go to the lost. If you were professing Christ, you weren't lost. But today's Christians don't care to have the lost come to them. Most are shunned from the church. They practice hate more than love. Always bashing those that don't believe in what they do. But that behavior is in direct contrary to what is actually taught. The command was to love our neighbors, not just fellow Christians. So, that is why I would accept any pagan or heathen in my home. Hospitality is a form of love. It should be practiced more.

[@aanrsshnsn]

I whole heartedly agree! Christianity and Paganism (can/ is)complimentary. If indeed all things have their being “in God” according to Christianity, the pagan nature centric perspective shows the true power and energy coming from beyond all physical form (but not without it) that is (god) the same god that is relationship itself.

[@m.goedeker7381]

The interesting thing is that i learned more about my germanic roots as I was in germany. I live not too far away from one of the holiest sites of the druids and no one really notices around here. It shocked me as someone who learned holistic healing. Two of the last germanic tribes here kicked the romans asses but charlemange killed almost all the druids and defaced the holy sites innthe name of the catholic religion. When you study history, you get a bigger picture view of religons and what happened to the indiginous tribes in europe around the roman ages. The pagans and druids didn‘t hate any religon. They wanted to worship and live in peace, not being someone elses slaves. I think everyone can relate to that…

Heilung is fantastic, having studied Wicca and paganism myself. I get this big time! Their shows and authentic costumes are definitely unique.

[@KelrynGrey]

Unfortunately the costumes are not historically accurate. Some of the bits are taken from other cultures and then they're layered together on Hollywood fantasy/Viking tropes. Same thing with the throat singing, instrumentation, and general heavy metal aesthetics. Don't get me wrong, it's all great fun, but it's ahistorical as fuck.

[@kevinhowe3280]

​@@KelrynGrey what exactly would be historically accurate?

[@KelrynGrey]

@@kevinhowe3280 it gets rather unfun and this is a criticism of the listening community, not the band, as the band doesn't say they are doing historically accurate outfits or music. The black metal leaning aesthetics with smeared on paints are out. No woad smeared Norse/Germanic types. Some of those face paints that appeared on the backing spearmen are explicitly Native American. To my knowledge, no feathered headdresses or dangling face masks exist in the archaeological record either. Mixing periods in art is fine but it can be a bit like saying togas and Versace are both Italian, so mixing them is historically accurate. Historical dress for the old Norse was tunics, trousers, nice woolen cloaks for warmth. Our knowledge of their actual religious practices is almost entirely non-existent but I think the few accounts we have of the appearance of the priestly types are also more of that tunic and trousers with a cloak.

[@kevinhowe3280]

@@KelrynGrey I've seen many indigenous tribes use the same symbols. Like our American boy scouts use to have swastikas on their uniforms. Native Americans also used the swastika. I think our archeological community has alot of trouble with this because so many similar symbols and practices were used. Maybe this eternal flame or original tribal source is what heilung is trying to tap into. Instead of being completely historically recreating the norse ritual. Idk tho

People like to say vikings were like the most pagan culture to ever exist, when they were actually pretty cool with Christianity and embraced it pretty fast. Also, vikings were just a tiny fraction of the norse population, most people were just that, people. Vikings were pirates and raiders, not the most glamorous job in the world. Not the best fighters either.

[@hgriff14]

viking is the norse word for raid. vikings arent a people but an activity.

[@MrNoncomformist]

They were fast to Christianity because they were forced to do so. Many mass genocides to force convert same to the pagans before islam. The people of Scandinavian including warriors had their homes burnt family killed no job offer no trade literally nothing what do ever if they do choose to stay pagan. Many practise paganism in secret just so they could have a home etc this started in England look up saint Brice's day as well it's what kicked off the great heathen army.

[@johnhortin6640]

I think he has a point with Christians, however, one reason there is Christian influence in pagan culture and because we see this in the poems is because of Christian washing. We see that Christians have taken over the writing and see they insert their own ideals into things. I think it is important to get along with people, as a norse pagan I believe we are to push to be the best version of ourselves everyday, and some days that is different than other, and part of that is accepting others with different beliefs into your life.

[@GreenDeemonll]

I mean that goes both ways tho, a lot of modern Christian practices are pagan in origin, simply said religion and beliefs are a huge chaotic mess.

Just a correction: actually, christianity as an "official movement" started to get notorious decades after Jesus was nailed to the cross. The first wave of followers were known across Middle East and Europe as "some weird jews that talk about a mighty _Krystos_ and they use a strange _Ichtys_ (fish) to represent him". That was it. In fact, Jesus was represented first as a sheperd with short hair, shaved and using roman-style clothing (pre Dark Ages standard attire?) and holding a cane. Seems like the "modern" image of Jesus, which is kinda not the real stuff (a very romanticized-caucasian version) started to get popular until late 2nd century. They had no phones, media nor Internet back then, so news traveled pretty slow... including new-founded religions. Lol.

Just like a lot of modern "christian" practices are christianized pagan rituals. A lot of times the Germanic peoples would "adopt" the christian way in name only (for various reasons from just adopting, to adopting to appease so they would move on, to adopting to stopping their people from being murdered and tortured). The abrahamic religions have done so much damage to Europe/Europeans (and the world), that they should be rejected just on their history of destroying cultures.

Its a mess with all these believes and religions, always has been a mess...

Gender neutral? Sigh....

If you actually listened before getting triggered it was about the clothes. Maybe listen again. They dont care what you are youre going to be wearing the same things.....

[@metalhammer]

Don't be so sensitive, they're talking about clothes 🤣

[@mikeyb2932]

​@@metalhammer or more to the point - lack of clothing on top.

_"Fall of Mind"_ seems aptly named.

I really like Heilungs take on indigenous music but I had no idea that it was satanic in origin. I can not support any satanic music after seeing the evil done by Satanist. It's really sad they chose the dark path of evil, but God gave us freewill.

[@GreenDeemonll]

It is not Satanic... Kai Uwe Faust said that he has a big heart for Satan, for whatever reason I do not know, but Heilungs music is just music, and it is more of pagan music, wich is NOT SATANIC. As he explained the cultures that Heilungs music is inspired from lived side by side with Christians, they weren't against Christianity. I am a Christian and I love Heilungs music, there is nothing wrong with that if you ask me. Satanic music would be something very different. Also i don't think Heilung has any evil people in their Group, or any real Satanic people, as in evil. Its just simply not Satanic, real evil Satanic people are rare, most people saying they are satanists are just trying to oppose Christianity, they aren't actually evil, there is only a view actually evil insanes under all those "satanic" metal fans.

He was being a smarta**. He has explained his stance on this before. They aren't Satanic.

I just found this band today. Love them!!!

[@facediaper4607]

the idea of the "devil" was made up by the devil 😂 in his world your worship the two side of its face... duality is the game and free will is the illusion.. choice its all you have. you choice to worship gods( dog backwards such blasphemous words church uses) they practice blood magic and worship symbols and saints.. that sinners then they go "repent" and do it again and again.. English language was the old Babylon language the one the "tower" fell you been living a life of them glorifying his-story then your story and you believe outward then inward

[@glennarnold4108]

If Heilung performed to give folks an idea of their ancestral culture then I can attend their performances. If they're projecting Satan worship by their performances, either directly or indirectly as an example of their culture then I cannot and will not support them.

[@ColoradoStreaming]

Yeah that was something that was interesting to hear and kind of turns me off on what Kai is doing if it is true. I dont know why he would say that other than just stating he is down with the Metal community but who knows.

[@castlesmadeofsand941]

Yeah it would bum me out if thats the case

[@ColoradoStreaming]

@@castlesmadeofsand941 It is kind of suspicious that Kai's symbol in the band is based on the Baphomet. Some of their other artwork is strange too with overtly sexual imagery.

That’s why I listen to Faun now
