Today marks the 40th day after the death of my sister from ovarian cancer. Our parents were born in Finland and immigrated here to America, where my sister and I were born. I've read that among the ancient Finns there was a belief that the spirit of the departed wandered the earth for around 6 weeks or 40 days before journeying across the icy black river to Tuonela (or Manala), the land of the dead. I did a ceremony out in my yard tonight to help my sister to make that journey. This song was playing in my mind as I did this.

[@upwithlife10]

May your sister rest in power, I believe her journey was safe and she is happy and at peace. The legacy of your parents and ancestors lives on through both of you 🙏🏼

Aye, the God of poetry and music; BRAGI

His voice is the voice of the gods. Whatever it is called, Odin, Zeus, Yahweh, Jupiter, Brahma ... a man has a frightening voice. The singer takes me to the past, almost to see those ancient battles of gods and people. Souls drowned in the sea of blood. They sing in such a way about something that most superficial people do not see, do not see and feel. People do not feel nature today. That is why such songs have a larger dimension.

I have listen to this song many times but this version really brought me into deep thought. How we lived as humans in ancient times and how we live now. So much more connected then. Thoughts reinforced with instinctual urges to go back. Walking the planet with other animals, gathering, hunting and raising families. We had intelligent advantages over animals thousands of years ago but sometimes I ponder that we have evolved too far and lost the true meaning to being human.

[@notaboutit3565]

More human than human anymore

[@halreinholtz3192]

Then, there was dragons!

[@Lorddrase]

id say that we have kost what it means to live. to be human sounds like we are a so special being in this world but we arent. if you think about it in the cor we are nothing more than animals. but somehow because of our intelligence we really want to be special and in that we created a fucked up human society in which living means to always try to fulfill the wishes ideals of that so called society in which creation we long since had no play in. so we from scholl to death we work our asses of for nothing. cause in the end we all just want something to eat a family and a place to stay. but now we have states and religions and races and whatever funky reason we can think of to differentiate us from others and than probably hate them for being different. damn i should stop writing comments when im depressed.

[@Lorddrase]

@Deathcoldan if you read my comment youd see that i compare humans to animals and in a biological sense ther are no different human races. And did you really just put family and states on the same level ? I mean i dont know your family but the concept of the nation has absolutly nothing in common with my understanding of a family. Theres a difference between a nation and a tribe .

The story is one of singing the dead along an arduous path to some sort of a continuation, separation from the living, and freeing from constraints of the living. It's one last thing one could possibly do for someone who has died. It's easy to dismiss as just a story for those who didn't grow up with it and emotionally invest in this particular one, but it's a model for working through grief. Though there probably is no Odin, this isn't stupid, and behind it lies a greater truth about sympathy toward the common experience, the same now as it was more than 1000 years ago.

Neil Moir Thank you very much for your kind words. This was just filmed as a memory of a magic experience this concert was to me. Sitting on my knees in a pile of stones, in a cold stone cave. Only using my Sony Experia Z5 mobile phone. Hand held, with no support, after nearly a week of sailing as a trainee on the sailing ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl from Bergen to Træna, no sleep and tons of work. Happy that my video can bring something good to some of you, the sound is not to bad, I think. Good night from me in Norway 💖

If it were not for people like you -kind souls who spend time and effort recording videos instead of fully immersing in experiences which feel relevant enough to share-those would be forever denied to the ones like me, for I am literally thousands of miles away and make it to a Wardruna performance is an adventure that requires a lot of planning, resources, and luck.
