  • I didn't really ask for much yesterday at Northshield's Bardic Madness but when I saw one of my favourite people in the world there I had to beg a favour. I asked Savage Daughter herself to allow me to record a better version of her iconic song than is found elsewhere on this channel. In her usual gracious way, she said yes as long as I found her some backup singers. Not a hard thing to do in a building filled with bards and fans of this great lady. (You can see the fan love in every one of them.)
    Thus, I present what I hope will be a video that will go viral. Wyndreth Berginsdottir, aka Savage Daughter and Shield Maiden, is here, surrounded by Northshield bards at Northshield's Bardic Madness on 16 April 2016.
    This perfection didn't happen in one take. See the Blooper Reel at • Savage Daughter Bloope... .

    i love how this song, written for nordic women, has become an anthem for indigenous women as well. wyndreth’s voice is so powerful, and with this song she has provided a great symbol of strength for all women.

      @Jordan Guest 07/29/20: That's me -- on one knee there in black, blue, and gray, on the left as you view it -- Dahrien Cordell. And Jordan, your comment brought *me* a chuckle and smile when Eleshava shared it with me today; I thank you. 🙂 ... I *have* indeed been singing that song for a very long time now, and I *am* in awe of my friend Karin aka Wyndreth! In fact ...
      I first heard this song at an SCA event called Warriors And Warlords (Two), and Wyndreth Berginsdottir (Karen Kahan, the author of the song) graciously sang it for me to record it with a hand-held Sony Walkman tape recorder. (Kids, ask your parents, or maybe grandparents. OR museum curators, depending on how far into my present future you happen to be reading this!) My friend Avery and I listened to that above three dozen times on our twelve-hour drive home the next day. When I closed my eyes and listened to her singing these words, I could just see these images floating up out of the darkness ... a ring of colored stones, cat faces, feathers and bones, and so on (breathe in, breathe out, okay, moving on) ... and I told my driving companion about it and added, "You know what would be cool? If someone [...]", but it was just expressing a cool fantasy kind of thing, right? If *someone* would do the thing. ... Well -- Some time later, I collected some fallen saplings and branches and let them season for a year; in the meantime, I learned and worked at my friend David Nightblade's forge, crafting a leaf-blade spear point, and then affixing that to the branch I chose to be the spear's haft. I also researched as best I could the artistic styles of the Norse people from around the time of Wyndreth's persona -- "Like, how *did* or *would* a Norse person from way back then draw a cat's face or bones or thunder or whatever???" -- so that I could carve and ink in mnemonic images as representations of the lyrics around the spear haft. Another friend Thorkell told me that "they", if they were going to decorate something like a spear, would most commonly have either filled the entire piece with decoration or decorated the most important parts, such as where the work was done, like the point or where hands gripped it. With four verses in the song, I placed a band of images above and below each place on the haft that were the most natural places to grip it with either hand. And that spear was a gift for the woman who gifted us all with this song. [In fact, it was even a bit more of a gift than I figured it would be; Karin asked me if she could use the image I had designed to represent the daughter in the song as the cover art for her album!] ... and so now back to what was some of my point here: I guess a year or more of listening to the recording and singing that song at campfires and while working in the forge gave me a part of that confidence you mentioned, Jordan 🙂.

    Chorus:
    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 fall of feathers,
    In the dancing of fire and the curve of old bones.
    (Chorus)
    My mother's child dances in darkness,
    And sings heathen 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.
    (Chorus)
    My mother's child curses too loud and too often,
    My mother's child laughs too hard and too long,
    And howls at the moon and sleeps in ditches,
    And clumsily raises her voice in this song.
    (Chorus)
    Now we all are brought forth out of darkness and water,
    Brought into this world through blood and through pain,
    And deep in our bones, the old songs are wakening,
    So sing them with voices of thunder and rain.
    (Chorus x3)
    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
    :)
