Heilung (german for healing) are three persons. Maria from Norway, Christopher from Danmark ,Kai from Germany This is not only a Band, it it is a ritual. Grettings from northern Germany 🤘
"Anoana" is also a very good track for you to react too. Heilung is such a superb band. saw them a few times live and i was very lucky to be able to witness the healing ritual. Explore them vacant, same with Wadruna and other nordic/european/pagan bands.
I've seen two rituals in London. The ritual here seems to me to be a sacrifice to the Gods (Kai The Shaman tying up the female and 'strangling' her), then Maria coming down as Freya to take the victim to Valhalla to serve as a Valkyrie.
Those are three magical spells (singing spells/galdr) from very different time periods. It begins and ends with the 2nd Mersberg charm, a loosening spell. Then moves into the Grõgaldr (spells of Groa), a man summons his dead mother from Helheim to cast 10 spells on him. The chorus is spell 25 a washing spell from the Galdrbök. 1st is high German (7-9th century), 2nd is Swedish 17th century/likely from a far earlier source, and the 3rd is Icelandic from a grimoire dating to the 16th century
another of theirs i enjoy is their cover song Nikkal, which is their version of the oldest known song in human history inscribed in cuneiform on clay tablets excavated from the ancient Amorite-Canaanite city of Ugarit. (modern day Syria)
This isn't an actual "viking" ritual. There is zero historical record indicating as much. It is just a bit of theater. It may have existed as a ritual but we don't know.
It is referred to as a ritual, because that i show the band referes to their performances. Kai is heavily involved in his own spiritual practice. Each song when written has an intent to it and a particular state of mind it is intending to guide you to. The live performances lean into this also, and as you can see it is heavily choreographed and theatrical. The band never tries to claim that is an accurate historical representation of anything. In fact, their own self description is "amplified history". I was at their most recent Red Rocks performance, and it was INCREDIBLE.
Note entirely true. There have been bog bodies found with the same position, the same rope around the neck and the hands. So there is a truth to the human sacrifice, hence the ritual. It is not "just" a bit of theater. :)

We were out under the full moon at Red Rocks in Colorado this night. Was absolutely magical!
I wish I had the money to travel there. that's my favorite band and to see them at red rocks would've been a dream.

The history depicted by Heilung is pre-dating the Viking culture. It's norse culture including germanic and celtic elements.
I've seen two rituals in London. The ritual here seems to me to be a sacrifice to the Gods (Kai The Shaman tying up the female and 'strangling' her), then Maria coming down as Freya to take the victim to Valhalla to serve as a Valkyrie.
She portrays a willing sacrifice and that journey all the way to when she rise again after death.
Not as a victim but by choice
