    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!

    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.

    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".

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Most of the christian concepts of devils, demons, and satan (anything not of "god"), come from the demonization of pagan (largely Vanic and Celtic ) gods and goddesses. 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.

    They needed a translator with them from the start thankfully cellphones are starting to come out with a translator built in. I have a samsung galaxy S24 ultra it has a translator and so far has 15 languages in it Russian is one and Thailand. Also I wish they did all there music in the original language (of course) but also in English.

    A big heart for Satan? Satan as in the abrahamittic/Christian "bad guy"? ...the only thing Satan has in common with paganism is that the church based their image of him from the pre-christian Gods. F.ex the trident from Poseidon/Triton and the hoves/goat bits from Pan. So any belief in Satan stems from a belief in Christianity (Loved your Loki pendant however !)

    i think its the weight of her dreadlocks that is causing alopecia (hair loss) and with the headgear that she wears with the antlers doesn't help. One day she is going to have to shave her head so that the hair can hopefully grow back. I would be so self conscious about that if I was her.
