[@stevenrider9632]

They filmed this at some standing stones in France , the markings were added with CGI so as not to damage the site.

Thanks

[@noraeld5020]

You're absolutely gonna love the live show

[@thevikingbuddha]

I know, can't wait!

[@heatherwind]

Her name is Maria Franz, and she has one of the most beautifully haunting voices. If memory serves, this song is describing the runes of the Elder Futhark, and their movements reflect the letters as they chant.

[@thevikingbuddha]

@@heatherwind Thank you.

[@somthingbrutal]

the mushroom might also be poisonous but definitely meant to be hallucinogenic :)

[@Tarkus_]

This is great meditative music. I love listening to this stuff late at night in the dark. That's crazy that you're going to see them an Eivor at the same show. I'm sure that will be a very magical experience.

[@thevikingbuddha]

@@Tarkus_ Yep, perfect meditation music. I know, I'm so excited.

[@InfantryWife85]

@heatherwind is correct. This song is a chant calling upon the runes by describing each of their meanings. Those of us that follow the old Norse/Germanic ways often open rituals by calling upon the runes and their power. But you're right, we have VERY little remaining from the ancient days except for the runestones and artifacts that have been found across Northern Europe and writings/translations done post Christianity era like the Icelandic Sagas, the Havamal, etc. (Snorri Sturleson, Jon Arnesson, etc.) What Heilung has done has taken what little we do know of the old writings and archeological finds of instruments, etc. and tried their best to fill in the blanks to create a modern version, which I think theyve done exceedingly well. They pull not only from Norse, but also Germanic, Slavic, and Celtic traditions. If you feel like this music speaks to your soul, it's because it does. The memories of our ancestors are carried within our blood and DNA whether we consciously realize it or not. A friend of my mother's called it "blood memory" or "ancient memory". Ever feel homesick for a place you've never been, especially when you see pictures or videos of that place? That's ancient memory. This music is the same. Your soul and your memory are hearing and recognizing it and it's calling you home.

The Way of the Viking... I thought that sooner or later you would discover Heilung. (You also had some suggestions in the comments) 😉. You should also think about how we can get your wall decoration to England😁. Maybe you know someone who is traveling from Denmark to England or vice versa?🤔 The thing is finished and is looking forward to seeing you😇. Good response to Heilung, next step... Danheim! 😃

[@thevikingbuddha]

Thank you. I would be keen to come and pick it up myself. I will look into some options for travel. It might be nice to drive there.

[@Holgerdansk]

@@thevikingbuddha Sending is easier (although with Brexit...🤔) as I'm quite busy at work around Christmas time. I won't give up and will try to give you my contact again on your intro page, it will work somehow 😉.

[@Holgerdansk]

@@thevikingbuddha done 😇

[@tx0h]

i told you. check out 'in maidjan' from them, best showcase of maria franz vocals.

[@thevikingbuddha]

@@tx0h live or official video?

[@tx0h]

@@thevikingbuddha live, from their first ever concert.

[@somthingbrutal]

you should check out their live stuff i recommend in maidjan live at castlefest, it was their first live gig

[@thevikingbuddha]

Definitely going to be reacting to their live stuff in the future.

[@johnytwo]

If you want cool soundtrack for walks in the nature, treat yourself to Kalandra's soundtrack Norse Lands for the game Kingdom Two Crowns. It is on their youtube channel.

[@thevikingbuddha]

@@johnytwo Awesome. Thanks.

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

Why does every US American just _have to_ know/find out/... which European ancestry they have when it comes to stuff like this (and in various other situations, too)? I'm just as impacted by some Native American (and I don't "just" mean North America, but the cliché Peruvian pan-flute-torturing-bands can be incredibly touching as well - but I *_definitely_* have zero ancestry there. So it can't be that kind of "ancestry". I guess one _could_ look at our common tribalistic roots in Africa, where the first "human music" (with constructed instruments) was made, but in essence, it's because we're all human. It's the same overall "type" of music, there's a reason why it was and is a thing all over the world.

[@thevikingbuddha]

Yeah I get that. Curiosity I guess.

[@sweetynd1034]

sie heißt Maria Franz

[@connormc5809]

He-lung is the pronunciation....

[@thevikingbuddha]

@@connormc5809 Thank you

[@AP-RSI]

H-i-lung... like the english 'i'!

[@ths_mk]

@@thevikingbuddha I'd spell Hi-loong (with short "oo") as phonetic transcription in English. Or type "Heilung" (German for healing) into a (German) online dictionary with pronunciation like leo dict org...

[@thevikingbuddha]

@ths_mk Thanks
