Savage Daughter | Wyndreth Berginsdottir

- I’ve been quietly singing this song all year, enjoying the feeling of calm and power it brings. But, after my mother passed, it took on a whole new meaning.
I am and always have been my mother’s savage daughter. But I have this problem of not stepping into my personal power; of not trusting in myself, of being scared to take up space, of being terrified to be seen. I suppose this is an exercise in self expression.
It's taken me three months to put this together. I realize it’s not perfect - this strange thing kept happening where the more I tried to re-do it, to “fix it”, the worse it got.
What was supposed to be easy and fun became an exercise in immense patience and persistence, in learning how to hold ceremony, and in letting go of expectations.
I needed to let go of caring about how this turned out for the sake of performance.
I was reminded that the more you grasp at or push something, the more it escapes you. I learned a lot about holding space for sacred stillness to draw in that which you seek.
I think I got most of the way there, but I guess this is me. Untrained, experimenting, trying a hundred new things at once on my own. Grieving. Reclaiming. Stepping into my power.
Thank you for being here ❤💪🏽

I’d like to share with you a comment from Wyndreth herself, about the meaning and power of this song, left on another video of her performing it: (ruclips.net/video/PAuC6gX36tc/видео.html)
(some parts edited for clarity)
"As most of my writing … is based upon viking age cultures and the style of recreated oral traditions, I do a lot of that … I study and work hard to represent what was lost to us.
THIS song, however, has a will and a meaning of its very own … It was clear to me that this was a song that wanted to be sung by anyone who found their own voice within it. It is an anthem of empowerment--not a song meant to serve a specific blood or people or skin. If you find strength and power and your own voice in it, this is your song and I hope you sing it with the strength and rage and beauty and power that is within you--whoever you are.
Women are not ever Less Than. We are the singers of storms, the fire made flesh, the inexorable power of the mountains, the kind warmth and the cutting lash of the wind. We are half of the world and we have been taught to speak softly and behave mildly because we are easier to control that way.
I am honored that daughters of The First Peoples find a voice here. And daughters of the Sea Wolves. And the daughters of great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and mothers, wherever they lived and sang and died. All of you are their living legacies and they hear you singing; be assured they are proud of you. Whoever you are, you have a voice that cannot be silenced. Together, our voices cannot be unheard.
Thank you. SING."
The Hu Song of a Woman

Straight chills 💕
An amazing woman she is, I'm a genderfluid native American and this song speaks volumes to mummy spirit
Thank you because I was so damn scared I was treading on the wrong ground as a Black kid, because I hear my culture, I hear us running to get away, I hear our hair struggles, I hear my peoples struggles. I love this song and I love they it’s just for all who relate to it.
I am my mother's savage daughter ❤️.
My daughter sent me this song. She said she burst into tears when she heard it because she realized that I am my mother's savage daughter, my mother was my grandmothers savage daughter and that Mother Earth has blessed our family and helped me raise four savage daughters and sons. We all walk our own path and will not bend or break, we all give and take strength from each other, with the ebb and flow of need and life..... And yes, the signs of help and blessings re all around us, just take the time to stop, look, listen and give thanks for absolutely everything and anything that brings a smile to your face. May Mother watch over you and bless you all.
My mother was all this, in 1928 in a very conservative Tehran. She and older sister did what was shame in Tehran center of those days.., fighting with Mullahs, going to university. Not lowering her voice in front of revolutionary , khomeyni soldiers. And I am proud to be this loving, carying for the world 's savage daughter❤. Lots of love
❤
❤
With love to you guys❤
Your mother so courageous
I am my own savage daughter. My mother was the one cursing me while throwing stones. I found my voice in the faces of every cat I help ❤
She is still your mother... and I'm sure she had some trauma to be the way she was to you. It doesn't make it ok... but helps put it into perspective and take it less personally. ❤
Same here! ✌️💪 proud of you girl! ❤️🔥
This is what i felt one day. I imagine hugging the little me and promise that i‘m now the mother for my younger self. I‘m free now, because i have me. Sounds weard but i have so much love for the little girl i once was, that i can heal now
@@awkwardautistic she’s 68 and still a miserable human being with no soul . You would figure eventually she would change with therapy and time .. nope not her .. as bitter and mean . I am so sick of hearing “ she’s your mother “ when was she a mother ? Was it when she knowingly let her boyfriend SA me as an 8 yr old ? Maybe it was she beat me with a frying pan that broke my scapula.. maybe when she blamed me her child for ruining her life for just existing? She literally could have prevented me but decided to make the bad choices she did and end up with a child of a man who never loved her . But I’m the one who paid the price . I learned how not to be a mother from her , how to block a punch to the face/gut and a good right swing . So she may be the one who gave birth to me she is not my mother she was my tormentor. I have not spoken to her in 16 years . She will never have access to me or my children. I moved to another country to ensure that .
Not all women are suitable to be a good mother... but we all have a strong mother..... All-Mother Earth is it or Gaia or whatever you want to call her is it and she loves her savage children.... you you found your strength through her, sister.
I take care of injured birds and release them when they are healed.... but a magpie stayed with me even though his wing has long since healed (and he can fly well again), he has accompanied me everywhere for 5 years. I think he thinks I'm his mom, at least I hope so. Or maybe he's just lazy and likes the food I give him. Who knows ....🤣
As the proud father of a tiny savage I love this song!
Please raise her to be a “Tom boy” being an adult woman is going to require those skills.
@@silkoakranchpitchforkranch1205 No. We should not have to give up or sacrifice our femininity for the sake of fitting in, being accepted, etc. Femininity is strength. We do not need to approximate male behavior.
@@FeministCatwomanI think what they meant is that they want OC (original commenter) to raise their daughter to be self sufficient, so as not to be dependent on men.😊
Tiny savage I love it
As the savage daughter of a loving father, thank you. A true father is a steadfast root uplifting the growing child and even the most savage daughter appreciates and honors what first nurtured and sheltered her.
No words..
Close your eyes..
Find the strength inside you..
You have it..
Keep your heads up..
Everywhere, everyone..
I am tired of making myself smaller for this world of men. I am a savage daughter and I will not lower my voice
No real man would expect that of you
@@Janetsfear With all due respect, it’s systemic and normalized.
The whole world looks at you weird as a woman if you do one too many things.
Like if you don’t know body language, if you don’t let people talk over you, if you stand up for yourself too often, if you’re too direct about your needs
Everyone has the bias to an extent, even you would find it odd at first if a woman told you she wants adult funtime on the first date and with the same intensity some men do.
You can be alright, several men can be, but even women reinforce those things amongst one another.. It’s kind of a fight against _everybody_ to try and not get quieted down.
This song speaks to me on another level. I feel the primal urge to dance around a campfire while singing this . I am my mother's savage daughter. I lost my mom 1 year and six months ago and i miss her more than words can describe. But this song makes me closer to her
Go make a fire and dance round it singing this song. I'm not being sarcastic and I do not mock you. Could be a good experience for you, I'm a dude and I've done it. We need a dude version of this song- I digress.
I hope you find comfort in the memories you have of her, in spite of the bittersweet feelings that may come with them. I've lost friends and pets recently, I send you good wishes dear stranger. (Ps there's diff versions of this song I just found this one haha)
I'm so sorry you lost your mom. I think singing this song with conviction and strength would be a cathartic experience! You missing your mom is a true testament to the love she gave you. How beautiful 🙏❤️🙏❤️
@@Sinner1660 thank you for your kind words I think I will make a fire and dance around it. Hopefully it will help bring some peace to my heart
@@LDR01 it's been so tough without her. Losing my mom has been the worst thing to ever happen to me I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone. When I hear this song I just feel so close to her. We were both free spirited loving souls . Thank you for your kind words I appreciate it so much
Yes 💜🙏💫
Це гімн моєї душі!!! Вільної українки !!! Сильної та могучої доньки своєї матері яка пройшла через кров та біль і дала життя такій самій вільній та сильній доньці!! Це про силу !!!!! Ми про незалежність !!! Я донька своєї матері, матері України !!!! Скандинавська кров у наших жилах !
My mother has been a witch whit hippie clothes and free spirit.
She was so misunderstood by family and friends.
Everyone thinks she was crazy.
She left a few years ago.
And now I understand her craziness and proud to be her savage daughter.
She is Always With You Dear 💃💃💖💖
I bet she was awesome!!❤
❤🔥🙏❤🔥
I was the little girl being told to be quiet, be a lady, you are wild, you are savage asked what is wrong with you. I was the little girl who others tried to break to fit into their box. Years ago when i first heard this song it touched me. I have since embraced the little girl i used to be and have sung this song for years to my own daughters as well as a version i have adapted for them (you are your mother's savage daughter). This song will forever play in my house and inside my soul❤
I only wish I had heard this when I was young.
Essa música é tão verdadeira que me causa arrepios... Eu sempre fui uma criança diferente, rebelde de natureza.... Mas é um orgulho poder ser diferente da multidão...
I'm not a daughter, but this song still calls to me.
Me neither, but I agree.
Speaking as a daughter, I can say I believe the song to be for everyone. It's rekindling those authentic parts of ourselves that from childhood some tried to smother. Kind of like reminding us of our inheritance in this life. Just my take :-)
@@humankatcrafty I agree. Have you heard Eivor sing Trodlabundin? To me it has the same vibe.
I accept you into the world of us daughters, welcome, sister
This song is for everyone. The Mother in this song is Mother Earth.❤
This song gives me so much strength to fight my abusive ex's manipulation. It gave me the will to call HR when my boss started squeezing me out. I am a proud pagan
The gods give us all strength. Stay strong dear sister
Sending you love and support love
What does it matter that we say “I am pagan” or “I am christian” or any other religious thing when so many of us worship our own selves, regardless of what our lips profess? Show me what you spend your time and energy on, and I will show you how and what you worship. But make no mistake, we all worship.
yes and stay free
I hope you escaped into happiness, I saved my wife from such a situation.
I hadn't heard this song in fifteen years or more ... Sung defiantly and loudly around the campfires of pagan gatherings. I lost my mom just over a year ago. My spiritual mom only six months before that, and my savage mother-in-law but a few years earlier. I can't thank you enough for posting, it has reawakened things I knew ... But had let drift back into a hazy dream.
So sorry for your losses.
🌻They are with you in heart
So this is not the original song?
@@otoolepatrick56 song is written by Wyndreth Berginsdottir about thirty years ago or so, this recording is a cover by Sarah Hester Ross.
My mom was a proud, strong, independent woman. I can only dream to be half the woman she was. She raised me mostly by herself and instilled this mindset in me. I am my mother's daughter. 💛 I miss her every day.
LYRICS;
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair
I will not lower my voice
My mother's child is a savage
She looks for her omens in the colors of stones
In the faces of cats, in the falling of feathers
In the dancing of fire
In the curve of old bones
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair
I will not lower my voice
My mother's child dancеs in darkness
She sings heathеn songs
By the light of the moon
And watches the stars and renames the planets
And dreams she can reach them
With a song and a broom
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair
I will not lower my voice
We are all brought forth out of darkness
Into this world, through blood and through pain
And deep in our bones, the old songs are waking
So sing them with voices of thunder and rain
We are our mother's savage daughters
The ones who run barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
We are our mother's savage daughters
We will not cut our hair
We will not lower our voice
We are our mother's savage daughters
The ones who run barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
We are our mother's savage daughters
We will not cut our hair
We will not lower our voice
We are our mother's savage daughters
The ones who run barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
We are our mother's savage daughters
We will not cut our hair
We will not lower our voice
You missed quite a few of the lyrics but you've got the spirit!
Thank you for the lyrics
As someone who people have constantly tried to shove in a certain box this song brings out something deep.
I call it deep magic.
I first heard this so g when the GOP and religious zealots were taking overturning Roe v. Wade. I would play it over and over outside, sometimes whispering it, sometimes shouting it. It gave me strength. We, as women, need this savage, feral, innate strength more now than ever.
I came across this song about a week ago but there's something so familiar about it. Quite literally like an old song waking up from deep within me. Constantly repeating over and over and I find myself singing whilst doing work (much to everyone else's dismay) Such an amazing song, thank you Wyndreth ❤️
I stumbled upon this song months ago and almost forgott about it. This week my firm was about to screw me over and this song was suddenly in my head in repeat ... so I searched for it ... and listend again and again. The day my projectmanager was talking to me and tried to get me to buy her nonsense this song was in my heart and the drum as well. I did not lower my voice. I did not retreat and let someone step over me. I set an example and now others did follow me. If every will happen as things look right now, our entire overhead team will pull back from their duty because of the stunt they pulled with the wages ... I sung this song in my head all day long now ... and I feel better then ever.
Yes! More power to you!
My own mother has three savage daughters, in which I am so blessed to have three more savage perfect daughters of my own 🌀🐚🤍🌈eternally grateful for this experience with all of these souls
Your song has been a connection for me and my daughter. A dark soul has hurt her and her daughter recently. She will heal because of her strength/wildness. She is as fey as they get. This music rebuilds after pain. Thanks to you and your mom for sharing it with us. Thank you for the link to Wyndreth's performance. it showed so much of the spirit who brought this music to us all. Much respect.
This song brought up something so deep in me that was forgotten but deep in my subconscious about losing my mother when I was 25. My eyes welled up in tears it needed to surface and I sent this to my daughter. This have become my new motivation song. To all my fellow sisters out there do not be afraid to be who you are and be proud!
A Song about archaic femininity…. didn‘t know it - now it‘s my life‘s Hymn ❤
I always cry when I hear this song sang. It's touches something broken within my soul, and angers another. I love it though, one day I will find my voice and sing this proudly. For now I'm healing
Thee only version i will listen to. Absolutely EXQUISITE! Thank you to all my Mothers... my daughter will carry on our hearts and fire.
I am Irish and this song calls to my soul. Always wondered what was wrong with me...Guess I am savage~ ❤❤💯
I have Irish and Scottish blood in me and I felt the same.
Listening to this song I can feel my Heritage calling. The woods in the clip are like the one near where I grew up on the island of Als, Denmark and ran wild in as a child.
You have been seen. You have been heard. Your art is celebrated. Thank you for this beautiful, powerful, sacred work. Wow, just gorgeous in every way.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
This has made something inside my my soul completely shift in a palpable way.
It's beautiful n evokes deep pure emotion n hunger.
i wish more than anything i could have listened to this with my mum. she would have been so proud to call me her savage daughter
I sing with my mother's daughters, as savage as I am, we will not cut our hair nor will we lower our voice.
I am Manda and this beats as my truth.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT. ILOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so true😮.
The Old ways are often best, my daughters and granddaughters were raised in this way, as my Parents raised me and my siblings and in a couple months a Great granddaughter will carry on as we have since time immemorial.
My battle chant...thank you for singing it to me so I can sing it to...
Incredible. Was led here for multiple reasons, among them this from the video's description:
"...holding space for sacred stillness to draw in that which you seek."
Everything about this is absolutely perfect. Here's to strong independent women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
This is without a doubt the best, and the most moving, video I've seen for this song. It connects straight to my heart visually, as the song does aurally. And, it comes straight from your heart, with your grief and loss, your love for your mother, and your fierce spirit. Thank you for sharing with us.
Ahhhhhhh one of my favorite songs combined with one of the most beautiful music videos I have ever seen. SOOO GOOD my friend.
Ahhhh thank you so much Shifairah I'm glad you liked it!! 🥰
Thank you Wyndreth ❤
Sons are savage, daughters are fierce.
thank you so much for this! I've added it to my witchy playlist, a list of songs that helps me get closer to my goddesses and ancestors
This song is beautiful
My mom passed on 2007. It's not not supposed to be perfect but heart felt. It perfect. I understand your loss, I'm so sorry
Ooh I love this rendition of this song :D it sounds so cool with the drumbeat
I'm so happy that you included the 'sleeps in ditches' verse it might be my favorite, and people always leave it out!!
As a "savage daughter" who laughs "too hard and too long" I appreciated this verse: I hadn't heard it until this version.
This is the true author of this song she’s extremely well known within the pagan community that I’m apart of and when someone starts this song the whole camp sings and it’s like adding g a match to flame.
Truly an amazing artist! Wyndreth Berginsdottir
Yipping wildly to the sing! "yip!" "Yiaa!"
Loved this so much. Feels more mythic than the original recording I found
I have chillsssss! Gwen!! This video is everything! You are part of invoking our awakening - thank you for sharing your wildness you beautiful soul ♥️
I hope so girl, because what is coming will test us all to the bone... It will strip us bare and make us weep even though we think ourselves strong.
I felt it deep in my full blooded Viking spirit⚔️ did a test on myheritage and IT came out 100% scandinavian/ basaclly the area where I live and grow up(Rogaland and Agder). Harald Fairhaired is my 32 grandfather!
Hello 👋 how are you doing today??
Wow coming home!! So beautiful!! Our soul tribe music.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
Blessed be ✨
I'm so glad since I've discovered this beautiful song. Greetings from Sicily
The voice of a real nord:)
I just love everything about this song. we need more of these. battlecries for the women and girls! yeah. sing it
Every version I've heard has spoken to me and has given me goosebumps. You all make me feel it and I love it.
Thank you so much for posting this! This song brings the echoes of our past mothers to life, with its sheer will, courageousness, and affirmation of life.
I must cry . Thank you for this.
These notes are powerful. Your thoughtfulness always comes through in your pieces and I really love and appreciate that. May you always keep a beginner's mind.
Beautiful words, thank you for the encouragement ☺️
This is breathtakingly beautiful.
This is amazing and I cried almost immediately. Thank you so much
All that touches me profoundly! The song on your version is amazing and the way you described your process gives a new meaning and I can feel you! Blessings from the goddess 🌙
Gwen this is so beautiful and empowering. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I am so grateful that you created this.❤️
This song is truly a gift from the gods and goddesses of old and it’s truly beautiful makes me feel alive every time I hear it it’s a blessing in itself
This is just my personal choice when it comes to Original Artists. I prefer to listen to this Original song because I rather support this one and not the other one who don't give credit to you and your mom.
I love it very much and the message you send should always be a blessing and encouraging words through song to sing to all Women.
Our women are sacred to us Lakota Sioux which must be taught through generations.
From a Lakota to a Nordic Viking or such, do not lower your voices. We hear you 💯🔥
Magical, thank you!
I absolutely love this. Wow!
Love this song!! 🙏🏼❤️
This was hauntingly beautiful! I had never heard this song until now and I really love it. You did an amazing job 💙 I teared up at the end 💙
Thank you SO MUCH for crediting Wyndreth!!!!
When every I listen to this song it brings me great memory of my mom and I cherish her more more and more and the feeling is re optimistic
Lost my mother well before her time should have come 5 years ago. I have been listening to this many versions of this song for a week and it makes me tear up every time. She would have loved it
A Songstress of the Soul ❤️💯‼️
Absolutely beautiful!!
My favourite rendition of this song for sure. Gorgeous visuals as well! I wish this was on spotify but I come back to it time to time here on RUclips. Wonderful video, beautiful voice and so much emotion expressed. A story of strength, brilliance and resilience was told. ❤️
Thank you for this beautiful version of Karen Kahans song. 🙏🏻 and what a wonderful video!
It is a beautiful song and video. I am understanding it is a very old song passed down.
Love this video, thank you for making it 🖤
Thank you this is a lovely singing of a powerful song. Thank you also for giving proper credit .
Many thanks for this gift.
Beatiful! Thank you!
I have been put down so many times for speaking my mind and speaking too loud! I’m gonna listen to this song until it’s in my bones!!
Love it! I'm sharing these words as a spoken poem in a twelfth night story time gathering I've gone to for years.
Since I first heard this via my husband, I have not got it out of my mind for long. Add to that, that we are going to do it at a spiritual group meeting this coming weekend. My husband has blended this and the darker version, tweaked it and I am working on getting it firmly into my head. I may record it later.. I like the author Wyndreth was SCA, still a reenactor sometimes and I know I carry Viking dna...
Thank you for this!
Beautiful, I love the message at the end
Seems like this song’s been written for Merida from the Brave movie ❤
ESPETACULAR . INCRÍVEL
Beautiful ❤❤❤ going to learn this!!
Beautiful ❤
This is amazing. Great job!
Oh, Gwen, your song went directly into my heart and under my skin, it gave me goosebumps immediately!
Only when a teardrop fell on my hand I realised that I had completely dived into this deep forest scenery with your strong voice. Wow.
Oh my gosh 🥺♥️
Marvelous. Spectacular. Bewitching.
Powerful. Soothing. Tantalizing.
This is an epic rendition of one of my favorite songs of all times.
Wowww thank you 🥰
I love witnessing the expression of your WILD feminine power! YES! Such a beautiful offering to your mother 💚🌱
🥰🙏
Silence the soul, Soothes the wild in me but yet set's me free....
My name is Gwendolyn...
that was beautiful you continue to amaze me love you ❤
This is my ring tone!! Love this song❤
I love it very much. ❤️❤️❤️
I have recently discovered this song, instantly became my favorite. I am genderfluid and pansexual, and native American and this speaks to my soul in a way that only traditional Cherokee music and the willow maid song have done in the past
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
Omg I love your song!! Beautiful Gwen 🙌❤️
Play it out loud here in the summerhouse - I need that energy 🔥🌲
Amazing!! Ah that makes me so happy, thank you ♥️ I hope it helps ~ anything to come back into our bodies and reclaim what belongs to us 🙏🥰
Wonderful! Thank you very much! 😎
