Lindy-Fay Hella (the female singer), according to herself, was a very shy child, hardly talking to anyone. But her older cousin forced her to sing. That gave her her freedom. Lucky for her and for us.

Wardruna is soul music! Check out "Helvegen" live with Aurora or "Raido". I get goosebumbs everytime I listen to it!

Watching someone react to Wardruna for the first time is something special. Man you couldn't have picked a better song to be introduced to them. It's not just music, it's a calling.

When you said you felt something but didn’t know what I also get that from Wardruna - I think it’s something that transports us to a place without material things, it kinda connects us with nature through music or something 😅 you should listen to Wardruna and Aurora singing Helvegen ☺️

I think so as well! I'm Scots/Irish/Norwegian, so this is like hearing messages from my ancestors. At least, that's what it feels like.

Whoever suggested this picked a good one, love Wardruna and saw them live and it's breathtaking and epic. Clive Standen "Rollo" from Vikings was in the audience with his wife and daughter in the middle row of the concert and no one knew, until he passed right by us at front row and took his family backstage in intermission, he was only allowed to take photos and videos, we weren't allowed by security which I didn't find fair as we waited for hours in the cold to see the band, Clive did post it on Wardruna facebook I believe. They did do songs for Vikings series and the singer Einar was in it. White raven's are rare but some have said it's been spotted several times on Vancouver Island. Great reaction thank you.

THANK YOU! For reacting to Wardruna! They don't get nearly enough recognition that they deserve.

The break towards the end with the sun setting is the highlight of a mindblowing song. Wardruna is channeling the ancestors deep on a shamanic level

This group did the tracks for the series "Vikings", you correctly noticed the harmony of the track with the Vikings theme. Apologies for my english if I wrote something wrong.

The horns are phenomenal

Ward Runa or "the Wards of the Runes". The instrument is a "Taglharpe" loosly translated to "Horse Hair Harp" You also have to check our "Gra" when you like her voice.

This is one of my favorite songs by them.

The instrument that he is using is called a tagelharpa.

"Visceral" is how I would describe this song.

If you ever come back to Wardruna, you should definitely react to the songs "Lyfjaberg" and "Rotlaust tre fell". The music video to Lyfjaberg is pure magic - and the live version of Rotlaust Tre Fell is just breathtaking.

Wardruna - Helvegen (Live ) it will blow your mind

Actually the stringed instrument Einar plays is the Kravik Lyre which is a replica of the oldest stringed instrument found in Scandinavia. It can be plucked like a harp or bowed. When Einar founded Wardruna in 2002 he began making his own historically accurate instruments because nobody had made these for a thousand years.

One of the best reaction I have seen, and I have seen a few.

It's said that White Ravens are exiled from raven society, and they become extremely depressed as a result, due to them being very social birds. There's also a tale of how Óðins ravens, Huginn and Muninn, hatched as white ravens, but when Óðinn gave them the task of being his eyes and ears over Midgård, reporting back to their master after a days of watching over humans. Over time, due to the atrocities they had witnessed overtime, their white feathers started to darken, and they became black. But, that's just the mythology of Óðinn and his ravens. The more you know. Skål! ᛟ

the instrument is called Tagelharpa

I felt it was shamanic, like I was transported to a different time and place.

Yep it gets deep in you chest and heart & draws out that deep inner connection with our ‘tribal’ ancestors when music was felt through your whole body & beat with your heart.

Well... Einar has parts not only in Viking tv show, but also collaborated with Valhalla the new Assassins Creed game. He is a busy man.

Yes, you can have white Ravens. It's a genetic abnormality. There's a few apparently around the Qualicum Beach area of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Same way you can have white-coloured black bears. They're called Kermode Bears (or "Spirit Bears") and are a sub-species of black bears here in BC. If you like this style of music, then I'd suggest checking out music from Heilung too.

Enjoyed the reaction. (and look at the lyrics on YT) Now go and watch some Heilung (and keep on flipping that very old switch, i'm glad you're enjoying the process...)

Yes, Albino ravens and crows. But The led to this was in one of the episodes of the Vikings. He was singing on the pier when Ragnar told young bjorn not to look back, you're not going that way

Proud viking

White ravens are pretty rare in nature but this i feel refers to a myth. Odin has two black ravens Huginn and Muninn (thought and memory) that help him oversee the earth and they fly hear and see everything and then go back to him to tell him.But those ravens weren't black at first, they were white as the snow but one day the Allfather asked them to look inside people's souls and that's how the both turned black as the night.

Glad to see someone else reacting to this! I am going to see Wardruna next year in concert. Highly Recommend Heilung to try out as well kzread.info/dash/bejne/aGh3o6WoeLGodaw.html Also check out Helvegan with Aurora and Wardruna kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKKftteBgJzXY9I.html

How to properly pronounce the name (0:05): Either "War-droo-nah" (most widely accepted pronunciation) or "varr-druh-nah" (actual pronunciation). Hope this helps ^_^

The instrument is called stråkharpa or tagelharpa

If you are stunned from this music, you really should listening to Heilung - In Maidjan

That instrument call tagelharpa, Einar, singer, have interview about it on youtube. Just search: Einar Selvik interview.

The instrument is a tagelharpa, or bowed lyre!

White Raven did appear in Vikings original show, he played poet of Kattegat. You can easy find this scene on YT. Here it is: /watch?v=LPGky2ZmsWI :) PS.: Crow and Raven are the the same bird. White raven is Raven with albinism. PS2: If you like viking/neofolk music there are some bands for you: Heilung, Skald, Danheim, Funimade. DM me if you want something more metal. :)

Einar did the music for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla!

And if you're wondering where that beautiful country is.... it's Norway :)

I believe that instruments is a lute

Try Aurora +Wardruna with the song Helvegen, live. Look for the indoors version. Every species can have albino versions which are white. Wardruna songs are great. Next Raido. Also try the band Heilung. Look for songs from the LIFA live at Castlefest concert. In Maidjan Alfadhirhaiti Krigsgaldir Etc. Also look for Skald. Start with the song Run. If you haven’t listened to The Hu, I can recommend this Mongolian band.

And its a healing experiance to listen to them. It feels cold raw ancient pjure. You dont need to know the lanugage to feel the power in this. I would love this type of music to blow up. I think the world needs to conect more with nature. We live in a meaningless fantasy world. The society and the scale of everything make us so disconected to reality that i feel trapped in it. I dont want to live in the modern society but everybody is expected to stay and follow what everybody else does. It feels like im wasting my life at work or at home, staring into my phone, following the same pattern every body does, everyday every year. Im sick of it. Im finished with my little rant now.

A white raven is an albino raven. Just like humans (Johnny Winter), almost all animals also have albinos. They are very rare, though.

@thomasnorb4077

No, white ravens are not albino. Albinism is the absence of the pigment melanin which leaves the animal white and makes the eyes red and legs pink. White ravens have leucism which results in only partial loss of this pigment and their eyes are typically blue. They really aren’t white, more of a cream color.

Maybe Viking ancestors was reaching out to you❤️
