DARK AMBIENT MUSIC | Hel - Ruler of the Norse Underworld

[@zacsmallwood7738]

With Winter coming and cutting wood for the winter, this is fitting! Another great video! 🖤🙂

[@restforthewicked6842]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!

Hel or Hela, probably one of the most fascinating gods of the ancient world. Once there there was a germanic goddess called "Holla" or "Hulda". (Frau Holle in the fairytales by the brothers Grimm) Before the northmen told of Odin, she would be the one to lead the wild hunt during the time of the winter solstice. She was also seen as the great mother who would watch over the souls of the dead. So it makes sense she would become the ruler of the "underworld" later in norse mythology and medieval stories. Though I don't think of her as something scary since even the old germanic and norse folks didn't view death as something terrible, there is a dark and mysterious side to her and you captured that quite well. Good job! :-)

[@restforthewicked6842]

So glad you like it! Thank you!

I saw someone who traced variants of that myth and he included as an Americanized version of the Wild Hunt the song "Ghost Riders in the Sky".

[@danielmotlagh3428]

Beautiful artwork on this thumbnail.

[@Hi.im.V]

In Austria we call her Frau Perchta, leading the wild hunt of Perchten. . After hundreds of years we still carve masks of perchten to ward off these spirits and protect our villages during winter solstice. The perchtenlauf has been Christianized as the krampuslauf though

[@Tasuva]

@@Hi.im.V Thanks for sharing that! I've heard of the Perchta traditions in Austria and it's fascinating to me that you guys still have those!

[@FaeyeFraser]

All I wanted! I'm from Brazil and I write fantasy and horror stories, your videos help me a lot to immerse myself in the ideas, thank you very much!

[@restforthewicked6842]

So glad! Thanks for watching and happy writing!

[@richardh9828]

Sounds nice! Got anything published already?

[@Purp13Dragon_13]

Yeah I’d love to read some

[@omegareyder]

Pode crer. Da hora pra tirar umas ideias estes sons.

[@waesyp]

I'm a travel photographer and I often use your music to help me focus when editing my images. I'm currently on a photo roadtrip in Scandinavia, so the theme of this ambient is perfect timing !

[@jorundr1907]

I wonder why You dont make music for films yet. This is amazing story. Bloody well done.

[@restforthewicked6842]

Glad you like it, buddy!

[@dead2802]

One of my favorites! Reminds me of Bryce Nat Park during 2 nights hiking and sleeping. Stone landscape becomes identical. To bad I didnt have this. Would have made the night perfect! Awesome Art! Thanx!

[@restforthewicked6842]

I appreciate you watching!

[@laurenhomisak]

I really like the deep base and creepy gasps in this one. Very forboding. Great job, as always!

[@restforthewicked6842]

Very kind! Thanks for watching!

[@adarkwitchxx]

I LOVE this one 😍 I JUST finished reading The Witch’s Heart and it tells the story of Hel’s mother, Angrboda. I love this series that you’re doing, please keep it up!

[@thatdeafdaydreamer]

I LOVE that book! It's so so so gooooooood

[@restforthewicked6842]

So glad! Thanks for your kind words!

[@adarkwitchxx]

@@thatdeafdaydreamer it’s in my top 5 books, it was SOOO good!

[@Hedwig-TheSnowy]

How I love a good Norse story, you always do amazing work❤ Thank you for creating this masterpiece

[@restforthewicked6842]

Incredibly kind! Thank you so much!

[@Dani_Vintage]

My birth deity is Hel 🖤 I have a statue of her. Thank you so much for this

[@restforthewicked6842]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!🖤

[@hollowharbinger6589]

The beautiful similarity in both mythology and religion at times, deities with similar purposes or sense of self is hard to really be matched. You've done a wonderful job in depicting almost how one would seeing Styx for the first time, a vast darkness, but inviting

[@restforthewicked6842]

Wow, thank you for the kind words!

[@Kiryuu_kii]

Ooo, i really liked this one!, is it possible to do a bigfoot one?, similar to how you did the wendigo with the roars in the distance?

[@restforthewicked6842]

Sure. Thanks for watching!

[@Hipporider]

​@@restforthewicked6842 Sierra sounds recordings would sound pretty wild with some reverb.

[@Kiryuu_kii]

​@@restforthewicked6842 no problem!, keep up the good work! ^^

[@ajpend]

Mesmerizing, and horrifying.

[@restforthewicked6842]

I appreciate you watching!

Thanks for watching!

[@Njordic]

Amazing as always, I really like the ominous vocals and tension whispers. And the pulsing strings going in and out. Is your music on Spotify?

[@restforthewicked6842]

Not yet. Thanks for your kind words!

[@davidchalmers2504]

My man, you have done it again! Jeez, the barren plains come alive! You have any plans on what you'll do next?

[@restforthewicked6842]

Thank you so much for your kind words, David! Some candidates for upcoming videos are Seth, Manticor and Ammit.

[@носок_Наруто]

[@astreck7618]

can i use your music for my projects ? also credit given in description .... thank you

[@restforthewicked6842]

Thanks for asking. You can use the music for non-commercial projects.

[@nikoteardrop4904]

Seems like a pretty chill place to hang out in until Ragnarök, when we'll be on the winning side ;-)

[@bittumemes3265]

if possible can you create a bgm about hacking? or a hacker ,cyber crime , crime thriller.. its will be better.. i love all of your music may God give you more fame and subscriber. and piece

[@VSPVictorSorinPopaliciu]

)this is interesting, however thé people who know thé norse mytology and have notions about the ocult ,know that the truth is that Helhaim is a Real place from this life not thé eternal Afterlife After Death where our Immortal souls will go After we die ,or speaking about Ragnarok ,thé Rapture etc will have a Miracle Death etc The thing is that Helhaim is in thé unseen part of this life and for example only a Man who has died and then has been resurected back in this Life can have acces into the Hellhime. Those Warriors women and men who are in thé Hellhime in this life thé unseen part ,are Warriors from thé unseen of this life, just like Queen Hell.

[@Mike-e9z9e]

I’ve always liked the dark ones🖤 but dark doesn’t always mean evil. I think hel and Thanatos would have gotten along or Hecate and Thanatos the Morrigan I think they would have been best of friends 🖤

[@restforthewicked6842]

Thanks for watching!

[@Mike-e9z9e]

@ no problem I like Norse history and good music 😄 thanks for the reply I don’t normally get replies.

[@RSAleft9]

Id love to hear your take on Vallhala's atmosphere

[@restforthewicked6842]

I already made a Valhalla video some time ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ3LlamQjrB6b5I

[@26blachu]

Hi. What are you use to animated scenerio ?

[@villebooks]

A Schroedinger-Goddess, so to speak.

[@jimmuldoon3372]

WHO WOULD WIN HEL OR SIMON_12

[@EJAXK13]

Hel, half-rotting daughter of Loki. Goddess of the cold dead. Ruler of Helheim. Resentment given form. Hatred given life.

[@restforthewicked6842]

Thanks for watching!

[@markchappell4148]

Yes my dear sister Queen Hela ?

[@markchappell4148]

Obviously a thriving metropolis at one time full of healthy life. Sad how God leaves areas to let them fall into decay.

[@markchappell4148]

Strange how you all rush to place a frown on your head made of gold which will rust and decay away in time. I make new crowns of Teflon that are light and will never trust or decay.

[@dragonchild_]

Hel hath no fury like a woman's wrath. For she is undead and as cold as the winter's night. Her silence is all.

[@restforthewicked6842]

Thanks for watching!

[@markchappell4148]

Your wolf Sekhmet may eat Sin the Moon and Odin, in your good time, please. This will not destroy their immortal soul, and just wound their pride which needs be cut off from them.

[@markchappell4148]

Sekhmet your wolf obeys Loki as if he were her father ? Thus the War in the Ukraine against the Coyote and her. Did not Loki destroy your dreams of ruling Asgard ? So Loki is not your friend then is he ? Yet Loki is your wolf Sekhmet's master ? Strange how my daughter's stray and lose their crowns.

[@markchappell4148]

This is the prison our dear father Odin kept you in ? Sad. Very sad.

[@markchappell4148]

Loki and his brother Thanos will be absorbed into Satan to kill me your brother Thor before the end of the end of days. Chris is just an actor, leave her be, please.

[@TheDevilSamael]

@restforthewicked6842 I fuck with you heavy for this one! This one surprised me!!! This is my shadow work goddess and she's told me she loves me. Death loves me. 😭🖤🫶

[@restforthewicked6842]

Haha, thanks! Glad you like it!
