Story of Heilung
The tribute to Heilung attempts to tell the story of the start of the phenomenon Heilung. The true story about Maria Franz, Kai Uwe Faust and Christopher Juul. Three fates, who all found healing and meaning in the Norse culture, and who trough twist and turns ended up being at the forefront at the movement, which aims to show and make one feel the power in the animistic ways. We hope the video will deliver you a few minutes of enjoyment, resulting in your either finding your way to Heilung, or maybe make you enjoy their art even more. If you liked the video, consider subscribing for more modern Norse content.

I can’t believe that Maria thought she wasn’t pretty. I think she is beautiful inside and out.

Denmark is very conservative in that regard. I saw one particular post on Facebook a few years before Heilung even existed that they had seen a "dreadful looking Norwegian woman with dreadlocks" on the bus which would have been Maria's daily commute when she was a librarian. Experiences like that could be where it came from. I bought merch from her a few times at Valravn shows and she was always very guarded and self-protective, coming across perhaps even as a little arrogant in the way that people can be when they have built a wall around themselves after being harassed by idiots. My ex was the same - didn't like her much until the walls came down.

She is stunning! However, many of us females while growing up in a society which promotes a constant changing visual/ surface level of beauty , feel horrendous. The makeup doesn't feel right. The clothes are awkward. When you begin to present authentic to how you feel. You feel and present beauty.
Thank you for this video that allows an insight on their previous lives. I feel lucky to have met them backstage of Castlefest 2017 where I was also playing, after their concert I was deeply emotional and even cried while they recited the elder futhark, that performance was legendary, a true portal to the otherworld opened during that concert. I was so supersized when Christopher and Maria said that was the first time they ever performed it like that, it felt that they were joking, but they were not. They are amazing and the world definitely need their healing powers.

I grew up strictly religious like Kai, and also have questioned feeling like I was alone, the only one who didn’t agree. I was so surprised to find other people like me! Writing helped me so much, this will forever be my fav group and music.

I grew up Christian but had always questioned everything about it. I got tired of people judging me bc I wouldn't go to church and so on. I finally found my way to this kinds of stuff. It's helped me a lot
Having spent all my life in the US, we sadly lack the culture that is otherwise profound throughout Europe. I've longed for a sense of belonging here, but organized religion was certainly not it. I am so thankful to Heilung, for they have opened my eyes to a rich and beautiful heritage, as well as a thriving community of the most wonderful people.

I too am from the United states but I found myself in medieval groups. Sure its not something historical to the United States but it taps into that European heritage a lot of us have. My family background is western Europe and welsh and Scandinavian. I encourage you if you feel like you are lost to try to find a medieval group near you. The people are the most open and least judgmental and are full of people of all shapes, sizes and life experiences that we all tap into to support one another.

Just found this band. It was Maria's outfit that caught my eye on KZread, so I clicked on it and listened. WOW, this is like Kai's singing is taking every toxic thought, feeling and emotion from your soul and then you are transported like a baby to be cradled by Maria's voice of soothing angelic tones, one day I wish to see them for the experience, they are magnificent to say the least.

Odin calls, the ravens sing. It’s good to go back to the ways of our ancestors. Thank you for your music and true heathen spirit. The old ways return across the land x
This is what literally going back to the roots means!!! mad respect to you Heilung!!! Keep doing what you do!!!
I feel Blessed to have discovered your Music/Medicine! I only wish to have discovered it much sooner! Thank you for this video and your Music
Interesting as this is, I feel you leave out the important fact that Maria and Christopher had been recording together as Euzen and doing some quite interesting stuff in video form for some years previously. And that Christopher had also been involved with a more grass roots electro-medieval project called Valravn, which Maria also guested with several times. Euzen even warmed up for Valravn on one tour of Denmark. Both those bands were very special. I miss the hell out of both of them. The way this is presented makes it seem as if Kai and Christopher magically produced a career in music out of thin air, which was not the case. The Castlefest appearance would surely not have been possible if Euzen's appearance at the same festival a few years before hadn't been such a big success.

I discovered Heilung 3yrs ago while searching for another medieval/pagan/shaman like band. Needless to say, I completely forgot that other band because Heilung is so amazing!!! The only medieval/pagan/whatever band that I think tops them is Corvus Corax but that doesn't make Heilung less of a band or less awesome.

Yes. Last year. Had to restart the channel since a lot of cool music shorts were made is now considered duplicated content, and we couldn’t bring ourself to delete them. So we just kind of started over on a new channel with these videos and left the pure music stuff on the old one.
I have to echo Xaform on this. I can relate there, it was like one had no right to even try. I have been writing off and on and have taken to listening to Celtic music more. While I have sensed being pushed away from regular folk life. I know while they don’t want me I still have to live amongst them.

For a strange reason I feel new to Heilung. yet I've followed them for about 3 years I suppose. Ive been Pagan for years. Also a musician in rock bands and listened to various ethnic instruments. Heilung are not just an experimental sound. They like all brothers and sisters are part of my journey this time round. I live in the UK county of Essex. Which was once part of Danes law, These were my ancestors, Heilung brings me closer to them and the culture. Also gives me a deeper connection in many way. Heilung have created a sound that brings us all closer together. All Hail unto them,

Do they have faith behind it, or is it just performative to reconstruct the past? No doubt music on and itself can be healing. But I wonder if the rest is just a costume to them or what's the story behind their outfits and performance.

I was raised to believe I was ugly (all my peers from kindergarten until graduation), and in a strict Christian no tv household too. I’m 43 and now finding myself drawn to this way of life or existence with nature which always brought me peace. (Paganism, I guess, although I don’t label it). 😢
