The antlers the women were wearing were from female reindeer (Domesticated caribou). Female reindeer are the only species of deer that keep their antlers all winter. I love the female power in this video.

I have watched a ton of Anoana reaction videos, everyone smiles when she releases the bird come back to life - no doubt about it, the best song/video release ever IMO - BEAUTIFUL!

Hi: The lyrics for this piece are mainly taken from bracteates: golden, circular coins or amulets found in Northern Europe that date from the 4th to 7th centuries CE. They are often fitted with a decorated rim and loop, which indicates that they were meant to be worn and perhaps provide protection, fulfil wishes or for divination. The bracteates feature a very significant iconography influenced by Roman coinage. They were predominantly made from Roman gold, which was given to the North Germanic peoples as peace money. In Anoana, the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of likely encoded spells from the Migration Period and get a touch of magic from the Dark Ages. The intention of the piece is to playfully reconnect to an incantational language of a period where the North was richer in gold than any other region. Our forefathers presumably enjoyed a time of great prosperity and it may make us rethink how dark these ages real Above the sign on the womb of the giving birth mother is probably a painted version of Ægirs Hjelm/Aegishjalmur/Ægishjálmr ("Ægir's Helmet"), which is a symbol described in the Poetic Edda as a symbol of ultimate protection, physical, mental and spiritual referred to as protection against all kinds of fear "Ægir/Ægi" means "Sea" in both dialects of Old Norse and is also the name of the personification of the sea. "Ægir's Gate", describes the eddies that drag ships to the bottom of the sea. Ægir / Ægi has often been described as an old man with a long white beard, and to see him standing still in the water was a bad omen, as he surfaced to drag people and ships to the bottom of the ocean. Ægirs Hjelm is described in the Poetic Edda in a stanza with a shape-shifting dragon, Fafner, whose blood is poisonous. The dragon guards a treasure and, with the help of Ægirs Hjelm's spell, is invincible. In The Galdrabók, the symbol is also described as something "you wear on your forehead, between your eyebrows"). In any case, this must be taken with tweezers since it may be wrong. About the solar eclipse perhaps these images would be connected with the symbol of the black sun. For the ancients, the sun was the source of life, as it provided them with heat and energy. The lack of him was just the opposite. For the ancient peoples, it seems that the periodicity and continuity of day and night made us think not only of the existence of 1 sun, but of two suns, one bright and luminous and the other black. One represented life and the other death. This could be translated as the balance between light and dark and its connection to the world of the dead and the living. In it, the dawn of the day was interpreted as the rebirth of life and its renewal. That is why eclipses were so important for all primitive and ancient cultures: When the sun disappeared in broad daylight, they predicted that eclipses would bring about great changes, or that even in the worst case, the world could come to an end. As for the drum that Christopher Juul handles and the symbol that is drawn on it, it bears a certain resemblance to the kolovrat and the black sun, but I have not been able to find any that really come close, so the question is whether this symbol, what Have the members of the group created it as something aesthetic for the video, or if that symbol really exists in the Nordic culture, but I am not able to find anything about it at the moment. The answer certainly lies with the members of the musical group Heilung or some archaeologist specialized in Nordic culture.

I have to say I love reaction videos like yours. I hate it when non-experts who are reacting to something for the first time constantly pause the video to comment. Doing that pulls you out of whatever connection the artist was trying to make with you. But you were perfect. Said your little bit at the beginning and at the end while letting the artists put their work on display as they intended. Awesome job. Glad you enjoyed it. I am obsessed with this song.

The drumming and chants seems to awaken all my ancient Scottish ancestors to circle and dance around the fire. It all rattles my soul and brings shivers to my skin. Many thanks for reacting to this video.

The production is incredible on this album. Maria Franz is just something special.

Thank you young one. Always remember the blood of your ancestors is flowing through your veins. Blessings to you and yours from an old pagan coming at you from the snowy mountains of Southern Oregon

Best reaction video I have ever seen…. You did not interrupt every 5 seconds saying stupid shit about this note or that note… YOU watched the video then said what you had to say. Thank you!!!

Heilung is absolutely EPIC! By the Way: My favorite Song is 'Krigsgaldr' (Live Version from the "Lifa" Concert!) Greets from Germany

Can I just add some points that are important in seeing this? The most important being that the child is born under an eclipse (seen in background several times). After the birth you see a circular path of darkness which is one of the possible destinies for the child, and it scares the mother. According to previking believes they (those born under eclipses) had very special gifts: hamnskifte (= the ability to change appearance), age shift, talking to animals, healing (of the bird) etc The previking time and it's religion in nordic countries is much more female oriented than the religion in the later years (with viking gods like Tor and Oden... ). Also healing of the bird. They sing in a reconstructed version of the previking proto norse language.... The bracteates are the starting point for this tale, because they are one of the few "written" recordings of this language. But Sweden and Norway are also full of drawings (hällristningar = rock carvings) as memory of them. Example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Carvings_in_Tanum Caveat: I did publish similar comments to other reactor earlier, but I do think this is important in order to appreciate it

Okay. I have watched hundreds of reaction videos to my favorite music. I can count on one hand the number of people who have let the music play through with no interruptions. You took it as a whole and didn't stop the music. Well played sir! Excellent reaction.

I call it dark folk. Heilung, Wardruna, Danheim, Nytt land, Paleowolf are bands in that genre. I think this is a very beautiful song with an excellent video to support it. Bought the album too and that has other excellent songs on it.

Heilung is a stunning group. Also, if anyone liked them, then please! I beg you, go check out Wardruna! “Raido” “White Raven” “Healing Mountain” “Isa”… they are absolutely stunning. This was a wonderful review. 🙌🏼 Also-Healiung is touring the USA right now and my friend got to go see them and he said there is nothing like it in the world and i think he is a changed man. Lol no but for real, they’re awesome and their shows are amazing. Look up some of their live gigs that have been uploaded and listen with good earphones/buds.

And I cried again ... ❤️

"If it's in your blood, it's in your blood." Exactly.

Handsome bear

First time listening to this with the video tugged at the tears a bit. Deep deep down I really wish I could attend that kind of bonfire. Feels like a giant celebration of life

Matia is just pure badass imo. Somehow she comes actoss as angelic with a hint of evil, but beautifully delivered.!!

I love this album so incredibly much !! Glad you liked this song too, my personal favrouite on the album is ‘TENET’ . I can’t get over it it just astounds me every single time I listen to it !🗡🦌

This Song Show things which were holy to the ancient german people.. like women and forests/nature. and i can feel this Connection to my ancesters deep inside by watching this video and hearing this wonderful song..

In the magical disciplines, there were male an female aspects. I know that today, this might sound antiquated, but for magic, it's an necessity. What I love about this performance is the clear separation. In todays situation, it's fairly refreshing.

Loved your reaction, thank you!

Can't hate on the old ways

My favorite song from them. Tbh though I love all of them

The end of this video is very, Surprising… The lead singer said that the idea for this video came from different cultures

Best video of the last decade imo

Im about to buy This one, The in Maidjen & the other one, because they have 3 that are Must Haves , for me, so far. In Maidjen Marias Vocals shine better & stronger than any superstar vocalist on earth imo.

another great reaction

Great video great reaction! Like to know if you will react to Aurora she is a Norwegian vocalist.

Massive nordic female empowerment energy and motherhood levels of examples for their offspring for growth. Good deal 10/10

Moin aus Schleswig-Holstein. Das ist mal geile Musik, oder!?

shot in Sweden.

Immer da nie weg

so difficult to collect my thoughts......I am amazed, frightened, hopeful, feeling mortal, wanting to pray to some deity........I feel these are the emotions Maria and the band hope to elicit from the audience.........I believe these are EXACTLY the sounds made by pre-Christian pagan Norse priests, shaman and warriors........

Hey Patrol, please please react to Jamie Campbell Bower ‘Paralysed’ Live from the Altar

Hailing??? huh ?? Do you mean Heilung?? " Healing" ???

How is this your people, your not norse?
