On a trip to Norway in December 2018, my wife I were having dinner at a random burger restaurant in downtown Oslo when Einar came in and sat down behind us. We couldn't believe the luck, considering we are big fans of Wardruna and we were listening to them for the entire trip. We also listened to the entire Ragnarok album over and over on a separate trip to Iceland. Driving through the Icelandic landscape with this music playing was a completely surreal experience. Nevertheless, before we left, I was able to talk to him briefly and get a picture together. We couldn't believe the odds of being in that city, at that exact restaurant, at that exact time, for him to sit behind us. Amazing experience.
The experience must have felt so surreal
You were indeed very lucky as he lives on an island near Bergen
did you go to iceland in summer or winter? imo winter fits better with this kind of music, but the wild beauty of iceland works either way.
@@shadowfire04 We actually went in October, which made the landscape very unique. Lots of oranges, browns, blue, and greens. Lots of yellow trees too!
@@NeilKopicki that sounds cool as hell
we went in mid-december around christmas. it was cold enough to freeze fingers off, but a 7 pound coat and gloves are a wonderful, wonderful thing. plus, it was absolutely beautiful and i wish i had this album playing.
I played this out on my garden, now i got Yggdrasil in my backyard.
We're having winter and I'm just waiting for the morning sun here. Getting some inspiration from his songs. I've been in Hel minutes ago with Helvegen. Awesome song
I played this in winter and it turned into a short Fimbulwinter in my garden.
I played this out on my garden, my yorkshire terrier became a wolf.
My dog became the fenrir wolf, my olive tree Yggdrasil, my bird a raven, my snake jörmungandr, also I grew a 1 meter long beard and lost my sight
Y’all are dumb. For real
If someone wants to sing along:
Hljóðs bið ek allar
helgar kindir
meiri ok minni
mögu Heimdallar
viltu at ek, Valföðr
vel fyr telja
forn spjöll fira
þau er fremst of man
Ár var alda
þat er ekki var
var-a sandr né sær
né svalar unnir
jörð fannsk æva
né upphiminn
gap var ginnunga
en gras hvergi
Sól tér sortna
sígr fold í mar
hverfa af himni
heiðar stjörnur
geisar eimi

Bræðr munu berjask

Skelfr Yggdrasils

ymr it aldna tré
en jötunn losnar
Geyr nú Garmr mjök
fyr Gnipahelli
festr mun slitna
en freki renna
fjölð veit ek fræða
fram sé ek lengra
um ragna rök
römm sigtíva
Sér hon upp koma
öðru sinni
jörð ór ægi
iðjagræna
falla forsar
flýgr örn yfir
sá er á fjalli
fiska veiðir
Sal sér hon standa
sólu fegra
gulli þakðan
á Gimléi
þar skulu dyggvar
dróttir byggja
ok um aldrdaga
ynðis njóta
Thank you ❤️

Wow
Thank you 🙏🏼 😊
Thank you!
How.....how is it possible that I, a swiss with basically zero relation to norway, see this video of a song so beautiful and touching, that i suddenly have something in my eye and got chills all over my body? We must never forget, that music is able to reach places in our hearts and souls, that we never thought it would possible! And that's probably the best thing humans are capable of.....making music!
It is more than possible my friend, search through your roots and you may be suprised.. I am a french canadian, and my most ancient roots as far as I know are from Germany. You are as so close as you can be to the roots of the viking culture, way closer than I am 😂
It's probably the 1.7% Viking blood you have.
becouse our souls are linked more than we know
Simply because the sounds could as well been played by any germanic tribe. And because it sounds so natural and primal that it resonates with all of us.
Same synchrony on the same blood
Played this for my crippled son, now he is Ivar the boneless.
so dumb but i still laugh

Excuse me can u explain what do u mean by allfather
@@najto6540 Guess it's Odin
@@najto6540 Odin is considered the AllFather....Head or father of the gods...all knowing...Sometimes called Wotan/Wodan....Or it can be translated from Val Father....father of the slain..those who entered Valhalla from dying in battle and delivered by the Valkyries.
I am a Turkish apatheist man who raised by a muslim family in Turkey. I do not care about any god or religion, I do not belive any holy books. But these songs, these sagas of Norse gods and heroes, it just touches a different spot. I feel like they are part of me and thats too strange for me. I love the feeling tho. It feels like If I pray to a Norse god, they will hear me out.
I have som feelings when i hear such songs i have all songs off wardruna and i love listen to him butt i have 8 months listening i think my soul need more and more when i have pain in my head i listen and the pain is gone i think some magic in this music
I from algeria and i am muslim but i cant stop hearing it
Allah belanı vermiş yani, yok apateist'de yok şuda yok buda oooh oooh yazıp durun amk
@Tarkhun legendary Tur/Turan=Thor. The people of Tur/Thor and their descendents have spread to so many nations from the original Turan (land of Tur/Thor). Many became TURks in Türkiye, many others became Germanics in Western&Northern Europe where many regional names or family names also refer to Tur aka Thor (like Thüringen in Germany). You are one of these descendants. This music resonates with these ancient times. It's sort of a encryption in your dna which is now re-discovered and re-awakened by the music.
@@CleD999But Turks believed in the sky father Tengri not Thor who come from the proto-indoeuropean pantheon. Two different things.
I'm an Indian Hindu, I have no idea about the language, can't understand a word yet,I can feel it in my bones.
Skal my Nordic brothers.🙏
We'll reunite in Valhalla someday.

Voluspá is the first and best known poem of the Poetic Edda. It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end, related to the audience by a völva addressing Odin. It is one of the most important primary sources for the study of Norse mythology. Henry Adam Bellows proposed a 10th-century dating and authorship by a pagan Icelander with knowledge of Christianity.

Songs like these wakes up something deep in a man, something that only our pagan ancestors knew...

So true
Thats just the burrito you ate. 😁
Ya the music is great.
i'm egyptian and songs like these wakes up the same thing in me.
i adore your culture and mythology very much. skål viking brothers
Now this is music, no autotune, no weird dancing girls, just music
(no weird dancing girls) by this i mean the half naked girls in rap videos yall
Don't knock the dancing girls too much. Another Nordic Folk band Seidrblot, UK based, had fire dancers at a festival performance. Beautiful to watch.

English Translation :
Silence I beg of all holy races
higher and lesser, the sons of Heimdallr;
You want, Valföðr, that I tell well
old tales about men, the first one I remember.
The years flowed, there Ymir settled,
There were neither sand nor sea nor cool waves;
Neither earth nor sky,
But a gaping abyss, nowhere grass.
The sun grows dark, the world sinks into the sea,
Bright stars disappear from the sky;
fire and smoke rage,
the heat plays high with the sky itself.
Brothers wil fight and kill each other,
cousins (sisters' sons) will betray their kinship;
Standing, Yggdrasil's ash shakes,
the ancient tree groans, a giant becomes loose.
Now Garm howls greatly before Gnipahellir,
the rope will break, Freki will run,
Of wisdom I know much, I see further ahead
Ragnarok of the gods of victory.
She sees rise up a second time
the green earth from the sea.
Waterfalls fall, the eagle flies above,
he who on the mountains catches fish.
She sees a room standing more beautiful than the sun,
covered in gold in Gimle.
There the faithful will dwell
and enjoy pleasures forever.
Then comes a mighty one into the ruler's seat,
powerful from above, he who rules over all.

You were practically born with an ax in one hand and a sunstone in the other.
Einar is insane. What a talent I mean easily one of the best voices out there
This music brings back memories of things that never happened. Triumphant battles that I never fought. This feels right. I feel like the gods are talking to me. I don't understand a word but this sounds familiar
You did fight battles and you lived in the past,, you had friends and a family you had a purpose, in your past life you weren't obsolete, you were someone
I'm sioux Lakota and I feel exactly how you feel... It's hard to explain but it feels like home.... Like I belong.... The battles that I've endured and than some.... But I feel alone aswell.... It's hard to explain.
@Gustavus Mercurius Cycle of life ( death and re-birth ) our essence is but conscience energy manifesting from vessel to vessel throughout time.
@@The0neWhoWa1ts I hear you tiblo. I am being teached the Lakota from a Rosebud elder. The two cultures are not very far from each other. We definitely have common spirituality. I also feel alone yet I understand the message. I guess people of all spirituality and ancient tribes need to unite now more than ever. The circle will be full and the prophecies will be at long last fulfilled from the 7th generation
This song is beyond magical

I am an American Indian and I love listening to Viking music.
Niiiiiice
AYEE
@quadcore
That's because they're not really so different. Before Christianity and the Abrahamic religions took hold in Europe they were polytheistic and practiced shamanic rituals not all that different from American Indian religions and cultures. That all changed when Europe became christianized. Thankfully it was never 100 percent eliminated.... thanks to Allfather.
May the Christians ask for your forgiveness one day. Both Nordic, Celtic and Native American.
Warrior cultures identify with each other
Im hispanic and i listen to wardruna and heilung almost everyday . I wonder if they like other ethnicity listening to their music. I respect everyone amd love many cultures.
Skål from Norway, friend, and thank you for helping keeping the Viking culture alive 🍻😊
@@toastgown greetings from Albania mate, soo cool to see there are Norwegian that listen to Wardruna too, I actually was talking with a Norwegian guy on twitch once and told him I was fan of Wardruna....he told me it's music for losers😢
Bro, their message and music is reaching to ALL audiences. Anyone who wants to hear them is welcome. And don’t let anyone tell you what you can/can’t listen to. If you enjoy it, it’s as much yours as anyone else’s.
@@JACorvin fully agree mate

tack broder.
Definitely do a DNA test, you might be surprised!
this feels more religious than the stuff I heard in church.
You need a different church?
Try the church of the mountains. You sit on a rock in the mountains and talk to father sky and mother Earth.
The best way to describe this music its natural and not religion, it’s the natural ways of the people it’s the kinda pagan ways.
Terrell Bone yes you are right it’s the pagan ways even the days of the week and lots of other things are pagan but then the Christians came along and took the ways to put into there religion... Take Christmas for instance it was to mark the birth of the Sun and nothing to do with the birth of Jesus as you understand 😉
@Terrell Bone ..I bet you're an American who eat at Mc donalds and shit on youtube...christians pagan????? ...stfu! ...

Sorry felt appropriate. I agree with u 100 percent
This song has actually been my top song for two years on Spotify
@@everydaywarriors Actually,
it would be they're gods with music that heals or they're gods and the music they write/play heals etc. It wouldn't be proper to follow they're or they are with their, even with a statement that's owning. Attempting to portray something you are not is clearly a characteristic that requires immediate attention from self if you wish to hone the art of trolling while feeling intellectual for that sweet taste of 5-hydroxytryptamine, aka serotonin. Never been told to be good or good at it? You probably graduated from a prestigious university while I dropped out of school at the age of 13 since it wasn't paying enough to put food on the table. Yet, I have not the problem of articulating a sentence. Read a book and possibly humility and intelligence would be the outcome, or continue with your ignorance and maybe someone will humble you.

I used to read the Poetic Edda when I was a teenager. I lived next to a Viking burial site and former settlement, and started celebrating solstice, having small blót ceremonies, etc. That would have been an exceptionally enhanced experience, had music like this been as readily available as it is today. This is beautiful.
When Einar sings, I feel the gods walking on earth
This is a masterpiece. It touches every fiber of your soul and brings joy and melancholy at the same time. As Einar said once, this evokes circles that need to be closed to open new ones, something needs to die to let other things to be born.
I could not have described it better, and completely agree.
Emmanuel Heisenberg so true ! Wise words brother
Yes. Yes it does. Wonderful resonance.
This song is beyond magical
I have all but stepped away from Modern music for the last 8 years for reasons only my ancestors can explain and taken great fondness 4 bands like Wardruna,Heilung Danheim,Eliwager, Eivor top my list and songs like this pull at every fiber of my being thank you for laying these songs in the Well. May the gods and goddesses continue to bless you and guide you. Hail the Northern way
This music is amazing!!
Thor Bridge Listen to Forndom, i think you will enjoy!
I totally agree. I have all but abandoned modern music for the voice of my ancestors I hear in such music. I am not Norwegian. My people are English americans, but my family name came to England with William the conqueror in 1066. He was a son of a viking. I think that's close enough. Somewhere between Norse and celtic, I hear my ancestors whispering through the trees
@Danie Winchester Slavic culture is beautiful as hell especially your folk music. Be proud of your own culture.

Escuchar Wardruna, es una relajación total, es como si esta realidad que se vive año tras año en el mundo real fuera una pesadilla... es agradable escucharlo entre el silencio de la noche, en un tranquilo atardecer, entre el sonido de la lluvia, es reconfortante... Gracias 🙂🌿🌼🌼🌼🌿
Al fin un comentario en español, Wardruna es lo mejor, te relaja y te da la sensación de poder y de tranquilidad que tanto necesitamos en estos días
Totalmente de acuerdo, y es totalmente maravilloso darse cuenta que es escuchado hasta este lado del mundo, gente que estamos aqui por conocer obras tan magestuosas como esta. Wardruna, suenas hasta Latinoamerica

Absolutely pure spirit in this song. I dont understand any words he sing, but it doesnt matter. Simply it touched my soul. From Slav brother. Heil to your God Odin! Sláva Perúnu!
Branislav Romancak As a Nord, I thank you for your words. Hail the great Slavic Gods as well friend
Hail Odin i Perun
Perun is Thor/Donar/Taranis. We are all brothers in faith.
Sorry I'm late but if you look up the lyrics he is singing about Ragnarok
Well, Slavs have really similar collection of gods to Nords, so if you want exact equivalent of Odin in Slavic mythology, it is Svarog. Perun is equivalent to Thor. Greetings from Bohemia!
Einar, Wardruna..and even Danheim (and many, many others) are recreating this world from the pagan spiritual realm. We are being called to wake from the deep waters of slumber to bear witness to a greater and far ancient power. What a true blessing to be present and alive to mark moments such as this in our history...
Welp, you've missed the point entirely.
@Niklas Gartz Wew lad.
Lorrd This song is not pagan. Paganism is Christianity. This is north mythology.
Krön Andersson “Pagan: a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main world religions.” How on earth is paganism “Christianity”? This makes 0 sense
Einar has denied any connection to Asatru...he just writes and performs music for traditional instruments. Also, the Latin term "pagan" simply denotes a person who lives in the country, and has nothing to do with spiritual beliefs.

I am hungarian, but somehow feel this song in heart. Actually in our mythology we also have the same 9 level life tree, like Yggdrasil in yours, which suggests some common origin. Love it.
because you're roots are of those people, you are a Hung(arian).
Most Europeans share the same string brother, we just have to follow the thread back far enough.
@@landydocgryyfud5342 I've never read that Hungarians are of Viking orgin... they are descendants of the people of Siberia..that's why Hungarian, Estonian and Finnish are very closely related Urgric languages!
@@jfg1104 ethnical origin has nothing to do with our language. As far as I know Finns and Hungarians are not related ethnically, but our languages are. But you are right that Hungarians have nothing to do with Scandinavians, at least not culturally nor ethnically. Historically people in Europe had a lot to do with each other, check for example Kylfings that has stuff to do with Hungary in a historical context. But I am not a historian, nor a researcher of relegious history, so I shut up instead before I talk too much bullshit.

It's ironic. You hated Germanics so much, now you listen their music😂 Vikings made Wardruna and Germanic/Nordic mythology viral.
@@barbarbarbarson2436, isn't it a matter of personal experiences and one's outlook on life in general? I personally have never held any grudges against the Germanic peoples and I'm quite sure back in our Pagan days people were not just simply blinded by hate driven feelings towards one another :) Some might have been, some might have not. It's never either black or white. At least not in every case. Besides, music is a language that knows no boundaries and oftentimes strikes a unique chord without us even thinking of the reason behind it - all we know is that the beauty of that certain piece speaks to our souls and moves us deeply.
Have a good day :)
This song makes me feel at peace in my soul. Such a beautiful melody
This music is in my DNA. It makes me feel strong and indestructible, as well as unafraid. I love Norway have been to the mother country several times. Love this music as it touches me deep inside.
I still have to go to the mother country! Am looking forward to going to Kvernes and Mor Og Romsdal where my ancestors came from
Music itself, speaks many languages.
U don’t have to understand it in order to appreciate it. ❤️
I played this to my dog ,now i got a wolf.
LEVENTE HÉGETE that’s amazing!! Odin blessed you well!!
Casi un año que descubrí Wardruna, justo fué en una noche en tiempo de lluvia, no tenía sueño y buscaba y buscaba algo en RUclips y encontré a Wardruna 💙 Es una delicia escucharlo 💙

This is my 3 month old son's favorite song! If he's fussy he usually calms down after like 10 seconds of listening to it!
That is beautiful. 🥲

Summer in Poland lasts only two months. And the winters are long and cold. Southern life like in Madrid it is not . I think we're northerners buddy ;)
This is a wonderful piece of music dedicated to the accounts on Ragnarok! I love the imagery especially, particularly with seeing Freki and Geri running around, alongside the repetitive shots of Nornir spinning the Fates (thread). As we are looking back and forth on the misty fog, we are continually sent back to the Norn and her thread, speaking to the repetitious nature of Ragnarok. Unlike the Christian view of what the 'end' may look like where it is a final -end-, Ragnarok is seen differently. It is a continuous process and simply marks a rebirth; not an end.
Speaking of Ragnarok, the most telling imagery of this is in the breaking of the tree. We see this through the bark that has been cracked and pushed out, marking a visualisation of Yggdrassil, the ash tree, the world tree. Of course, there are plenty of other smaller indicators, such as the bones and dead trees we can see around the forest, but I think this is the strongest.
It is interesting to see Einar alone in the woods, which I think is something we should think on as well. Rather than being surrounded by various little things happening at once, the Skald (Einar) is alone in the woods with only his lyre and later Odin's hounds. It's a shame we did not see the raven's Huginn and Muginn, as that could also have made some great imagery. but either way, this is a tremendously well video that really does the sagas justice. As always, his vocal composition of this song truly gives these 1,000 year-old words the justice they deserve. I believe that the single instrument and lone voice really sells it. Voluspa was not composed with an orchestra, but would most likely have been sung by a single of small group of Skalds and instruments. So, by singing it alone, it really gives a historical and almost an 'earthy' feel to it. It makes the song feel just that bit more authentic!
Well done, Wardruna. As always, you've raised the bar.
The only thing I might add is that in the credits we can see 3 different wolves were used and are you positive the wolves aren't representing something else from Norse mythology? There are many different things they could represent. This video has been the trickiest one of Einars to fully break down for me
@@TheCodeMaster191 Hi,
It's possible, of course, but they may well have used 3 different wolves because of the shots they needed. One could have been a replacement etc. I think the main indicator that it is Freki and Geri is in fact that there is never no more than two wolves. It is the same when depicting Hugin and Munin. For instance, if I were to point towards some songs, such as Corvax Corus' song regarding the two birds, you never see more than two in one shot. Pairs are fairly common within Norse Mythology, and Freki and Geri are probably the more identifiable of one of those. It certainly did take me a few takes to break down the major parts. There are things I've also only just picked up after rewatching, such as the boiling of the water (another attribute of Ragnarok), so it's possible I may have missed a third wolf!
Since Voluspá is the Prophecy of the Seeress, I would say that the elderly woman in the video is not one of the Norns but rather a Volva. Spinning the threads was closely associated with the act of seidr. Also, since Ragnarok is the main theme here, then the wolves are definitely not representing Geri and Freki but rather Skoll and Hati, since the two are destined to swallow the Sun and the Moon at the onset of Ragnarok.
@@tabiabias Ah, yes! That makes more sense. Cheers.
@@tabiabias To add to this breakdown of the video. Do you think it is drawing parallels between the strings of the Volva and the strings on Einar's instrument? Is it suggesting einar has some control over his own fate or he simply has to play the strings he is dealt while the Volva can create them from scratch completely? Maybe I'm going to far but it goes from the Volva's strings to his own which suggests something
Se tiver brasileiros aqui: vocês tem muito bom gosto.

Wardruna just hits me right in the heart, every song is just so stirring. Love them. Glad I found them!
Wardruna played song couple of days ago in Zagreb.
I was simply stunned how beautiful it was, not just that song but the whole concert. Much love and support from Croatia.
I was there too! Had an amazing time.
Me too bro! Amazing night
Missed it. Still regretting it
Ah, missed it. Hope to hear them some day, here or somewhere else. Pozdrav iz Zagreba.

He is singing/reciting the Voluspa from the Eddas....A tale the volvas told about Ragnarok....He explained as an intro in one of his live performances that he sees it not only about destruction, but about new beginnings and the cycle of life. Beautiful Heathen music Einar! Can't wait to see you perform on the tour this year!
The raw sound works so beautifully with the visuals. It's absolutely mesmerizing.
I don't know what is being said, but the song and the images are very powerful.
He is talking about the first poem in the Poetic Edda. Its very beautiful, yet sad poem of Baldrs bad dreams of his own death and how Ragnarok is started.
@@vardr_runana_8 THANKS!
every time i listen to this song! it goes right into my soul!!!
i'm a Viking Breed my self!
and damn! this song!!! so many emotions!!
KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!
Anytime when I listen to this music, I feel like I'm missing something so much that I can feel tears coming. I can't explain it, I get speechless. I've always liked forest because I grew up next to one; and wolf has always been the animal I respected (for what? who knows - beyond explanation).
I thought was just me. Tears down my face whitout i realize. And i can't explain why.
Its the same for me. I think what im missing is home and by home i mean nature. Because i live in a city but id rather live a simple life next to nature without the stress and complexities of modern life.
you are so fucking right!... the music is just fantastic, but there's another feeling i can't explain and it puts me in search mode, but can't explain why!... like one of your replies said, it probably is something about nature, but maybe there's something still in our genes that is activated!
Same here ...
Ooohhhh, lo primero que me nació fue amigo mío...tu comentario me hace partícipe...soy un gran lobo en mí Chamanismo... ésta música llega por mí hija más peque...ahora mamá, mí Dulce nietito duerme con ella...y yo abuela y buscadora me inclino ante la vida....y la evidencia de que somos parte de algo superior a nuestra memoria...

Is he singing in Old Norse?
Certainly one of the most amazing music videos I've ever heard or seen. Amazing.
Yes, it's Old Norse.
@@perberger809, Icelandic, I believe. They usually sing in Norwegian. But Einar Selviks songs that he did for the video game Assassin's Creed Valhalla were in Old Norse. I speak pretty fluent Old Norse. But this sounds more Norwegian or Icelandic.
Votre musique agit sur ma dépression comme l'insuline agit sur le métabolisme d'un diabétique ; je n'en ai pas besoin a tous les jours, mais quand j'en ai besoin c'est vital! Merci d'exister
Great job on making the scenery appear like Ragnarök already happened (flooded and burned earth). Love the symbolism in this video almost as well as the outstanding voice of Einar.
@Turok Hilsen I know about these myths and values in norse mythology and also believe in and warship them, but remember my friend: You should only be a little wise, never too wise.
My Germanic side wakes up with this song. Norse music from the soul, manly, melancholic & beautiful. Ragnarök (Schicksal der Götter) is just amazing; a view of the world that goes beyond the skin. Norse mythology…
me too this song transcend me the time stop when i learned it
+Max le Lorrain listen not learned *
Whoever did the imagery in this video created a masterpiece.
Last of the Pagans. Thanks for keeping it alive. Lots of Respect.
the spirits of the ancestors are chanting through this man, I feel it in my heart. I bow down and rejoice.
Wardruna makes us experience emotions we didn't even know we had. ;- I
My neighbors will still enjoy this, in 2022
I have a Norse bloodline going back 400+ years. This touches the souls of all my ancestors in me.
His voice contains more spirituality than most of the religions on the planet today.
I love this kind of songs...... One of the best musicians I've seen and heard these days.

When you can play a harp, sing like an angel, and still be a manly beast at the same time.
This is the single thing worth showing to the gods. And it's important they understand humans made it.
I love that Einar took the eddas and turned them into such beautiful music. Thank you, you have the gift.
при необходимости текст можно перевести, но это без надобности. Ничего лишнего, просто голос и минимальный аккомпанемент - трогают до глубины души. Я очень надеюсь, что группа сможет посетить Москву в этом году и я попаду на их концерт, что ничего этому действу не помешает. Wardruna бесподобны!!!
Посетила?
@@ekalit5629видимо, не посетила. Но теперь пусть они сидят и боятся, чтобы мы не посетили их...на танках или ещё на чем-нибудь...если будут сильно досаждать своей натой)))
My father being Norwegian and Gaelic he taught me a lot of about our ancestors. And most importantly.. NOT TO FORGET THEM OR WHERE YOUR BLOODLINE COMES FROM. RiP Father.
There is no day which passes that I don't listen to Wardruna and think of 'Vikings'...the music is haunting and the translations show how poetic the lyrics really are. OMG! Just fantastic. I feel instantly at home in York when I visit (many times) and look out over the estuary in Essex where I live and guess that I should feel some ancient anger at the Norsemen, however, I don't ....just a real connection with them and their heritage.....so different to my own. ❤️
