it is Nordic mythology and Hel is something else then Hell (as you noted). Also this is separate mythology then Greek mythology but there are some similarities. Very cool songs. I love Aurora start of the song and transition to his voice. Rest of the song is all about beautiful harmonies between Aurora and Wardruna singer (+ nice horn in the middle :) ).
I think it's a Beautiful song. Think of holding a loved ones hand as they take their last breath helping them let go. The last part is very important reminder to the living to do your best to live a good life of honor and humility and not pride. When you pass on all that is left of you is what people remember you by.......
Odin in Norse mythology, is the "God of Gods". In that role he corresponds with Zeus in Greek mythology. There are a few other likenesses, but Odin is generally more diverse. His son Thor corresponds more to Zeus (or Jupiter) on other levels (as skyfathers and lightning elements). From Thor we have "thunder" and "thursday" of course. Odin tends to hold aspects of all the gods and mythology creatures, though, maybe from a monotheistic/pantheistic influence.

Not Hell like in English. But hel like in Old Norse! Hel is where you go when you die! Or you can die like a viking in battle and go to Valhalla! Where you wake up every morning after the biggest party you ever been to, completely sober and ready to go again! And again!
Hehe. I was curious to see what you thought of this one. Like I told you, I like it a lot myself. But nothing creepy here I think. Just a very somber song, talking about an event we'll all go through at some point. Whether you believe you're going here or there or nowhere but 6 feet under isn't all THAT important. You WILL leave a legacy regardless. Btw, The G in Helvegen us a strong one; alternative two. I liked the research you did before the reaction! And Odin is a Norse God, nothing Greek about him 🙂 He is the God of the warriors, and is said to be the most intelligent of them all. Of the gods, that is 😉 Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
the version with eivor from the symphonic viking voyage is much better. compared to eivor auroras voice is a bit thin, and she does not really fit into this viking image.
@@NordicReactions Odin is the father of Thor (mostly... it's complicated), but not of Loki. In mythology, Loki is a Jotun (ettin), but he becomes the blood-brother of Odin. How ever, despite Loki being an ettin and possibly older than Odin, Odin had the title of "Allfather". In one of the best old norse Edda-poems, Grimnismål, Odin raises a foster-child, in competition with his wife. As an adult, the child betrays Odin and die in a dramatic scene. Through the poem, Odin recites more than 60 of his names around the world and eventually laconically laments: "I think they are all me". (Note that these were orally delivered poems. 50+ verses where almost a third is just names, that had to be remembered by heart). So, the idea that Odin could be anything/anyone and that he would raise a child that would later betray him is already there... and strong. Loki and Thor's relationsship in the myths are also perhaps more brotherly in nature, with a combination of friendship, banter and adversary. Odin, Thor and Loki all have Jotun (Ettin) ancestry, which may add to ambiguity and confusion. In conclusion: It is probably mostly Marvel's doing. Maybe because it was useful for the storytelling, but perhaps not completely without reason. If you see the characthers of mythology as avatars foremost (avatars for the telling of history, philosophy or entertainment), they are actually somewhat consistent with Marvel's approach on this subject. Of course, it will freak out the people who demand that it should be logically consistent and unambigous at all times, which would make it so much poorer of a legacy.
Option 1 of those choices. Neither Dj or Ch sounds are used in Norwegian (except loanwrods perhaps). How ever, G is often interchangeble with J, as it is with the word "Veg". You can say Veg or Vej, but you write it Veg (nynorsk) or Vei (bokmål). This an incredible common concept in Norwegian, worth noting as it can also be used to predict cognates from old Norse/Germanic or even English. IE Norweg(en) Norway (Norveg Norvej).
Just a heads up, don't use the auto translate thing for titles. If I see a title that uses that I instantly block. You're the first that I've bothered to tell, now Im gonna block :)
It pronounces with long E’s. Heeelveeegeeen. It’s from the vikings Nordic mythology. When the warriors went to Valhalla, most went to Hel when dying. So, a war chant would be about Valhalla and not Hel.
As I understand it, Hel is in no way similar to Christian Hell and is not punishment, only a place where all Vikings went after death and only warriors who died in battle went to Valhalla.
It's probably what gave the christian version it's name though... But they didn't endorse it 🙂 I wonder if it's in any way also connected to the word hel as in whole. You die and become whole again.
@@sveinstmobekken2175 Norwegian hel(heim), helle (overhanging rock or flat rock-cover) and english hell are all cognates of proto-indoeuropean *kel- meaning cover. So, Hel means the underworld (the covered place), in Norwegian, "viti" (punishment) was added in Norwegian to emphasize that Helviti (English Hell) was a place of punishment in the underworld. The word "hel" as in English "whole" both comes from PIE *kailo- meaning undamaged. You can go by way of Nynorsk to get an indication that they are not of the same origin. Nynorsk: heil (whole), hel (hel/hell)
Great performance, not only by Aurora and Warduna, but I also really love the low-tech, but creative light show, with the effective use of shadows. It really fits that traditional vibe.

I’m going to see Wardruna in the Oslo Opera next year. 😊

This is the same Odin, father of Thor and Loki? Or is that just Marvel's doing?
