"I don't like to climb trees that doesn't have roots".... This is a sentence that will live rent free in my mind.
The song helvegan has been so useful in my life. I tear up every single time I hear it. I'm no singer but I read the lyrics aloud to my father as he was passing from cancer. That night I dreamed that I was with him as he was greeted by our ancestors. Perhaps it was just a dream, but I believe that somehow I was able to help him pass over.
Beautiful story my friend
Absolutely. I dreamed after the first time I heard his music which includes this song
I am Ukrainian and now our nation is experiencing a cultural renaissance. We began to remember our ancestors, connect with them, our culture. I really love Wardruna's work, I understand what you talked about in the interview, it is very relevant and important to remember who you are and who your ancestors were. Einar's music is incredible, I am fascinated by Scandinavian music and mythology
greetings from Scandinavia. We are sure the Gods are with you, they prefer the brave!
@@majbrithoeyrup Thank you, I really appreciate this
Best wishes from slovak neighbour. We are 12 times smaller country and 8 times less populated but we would give you everything to succeed. :)
@@invivoik Thank you!
Ancestor veneration in culture is, I believe, one of the elements that makes a culture healthy and gives it longevity. So much of the toxicity and unhealthy practices of modern society exist because of an actual disconnection from the past, which more often than not results in people cherry-picking from the past without bringing the reality of it forward into modern times. I'm glad Ukraine is experiencing such a renaissance. Slava Ukraine
Helvegen is so important to my family. After my father passed, we listened to, and sang this song for him. I was so proud of him; he grew up Catholic, but his only request of me at his funeral was to recite the "Viking Prayer", which I did to the attending soldier's confusion, lol! And Einar is a treasure... We had the honor of attending his concert in Seattle in October, and it was simply life changing. My husband said he felt "invited" by Einar and all of Wardruna to join this powerful animist movement. We need "Skalds" like Einar; we need their artistic interpretation. Wonderful interview!
I work outside in rural areas of England often. Several times I have played a wardruna song on my phone in the open air while I eat, and more often than not ravens have appeared and called out. Sometimes one, sometimes a pair.
His music gives me energy and peace all at the same time. He is wise beyond his years and there is something special about him. Would love to experience him live in concert sometime.
Love how Einar always seems so down to earth in his interviews, and just wonderfully communicates his thoughts.
Rune - great interview.
🖤
one hour flew like nothing.
fascinating, and much, much to think about.
Thank you, Einar and Rune
I wish everyone could see this.
Midgardsblót was nothing short of a awesome pilgrimage, very wholesome interview.
Blessings to your band for bringing forth the old ways ❤
It's a wonderful time to be alive for many things. Especially our culture having its own renaissance! Many things were lost but now many things are being built new! With the flow of the old gods and the ancestors that give us guidance we create new traditions so future generations can continue. We are Awakening!
That tree is so lovely. (And it’s situated right by one of the large Borre burial mounds.)
Fascinating interview with two Brilliant Skulls! :) To learn about Skaldic poetry is so important, because Europe misses those thousands of years from it's history books, what Einar talks about. Even further - any complex research of music, archeoastronomy and genetics (in the most recent paleoanthropology) shows a complete difference - from what we learnt: Ireland-Scotland, but Each European country preserved a way further paleolithic culture (in inclusions, habits) rooted back 200k years
Really great interview! When I heard that song, I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness and loss, and I have no clue why. Looking more into Norse animism because it touches my soul in some way.
I feel like this interview should be required viewing for any D&D adventurers studying at a bard college. The relationship between music and magic!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I will be seeing Wardruna live for the first time on July 1st. Looking forward to it a lot.
Thanks Rune, this was the best interview with Einar I’ve ever seen!
Hello from Germany, I just wanted to say a big thank you for this really great interview. You both are so knowledged and purely connected to the sorce of everything. Enjoyed to listen to you. Greetings
Mange tak til jer begge. Så fint at fortælle om de forskellie verdener, som for nogle af os sagtens kan sameksistere. Og jeg er vild med Hellvegen!
So happy I'm going see wardruna this coming summer. Inside the ruins of a mid 17th century castle no less.
You can tell when Einar speaks about something that he truly cares about, vs just going through the motions. It is a fantastic thing to see.
I saw wardruna live in October in texas, n i cried like a baby hearing Helvegan cause my grandma passed away n when she did i was listening to Helvegen, wardruna means so much to me i sing this song almost every day...
Listening til Einar is interesting on a very deep level
Glad you mentioned kalandra. i love them.
Thank you both for this share. Einar, I see the White Dragon of the North in You...the ALL has activated you to Your CODEX. Humanity is experiencing the Cycle of the Grand Procession and I see the White Dragons waking...Our Ancestors await the Remembering...Love to the ALL and to ALL Creation.💗
What a great interview very very interesting I have loved wardrunas music for quite awhile ,went to their London concert at the beginning of 2022 it was the first time I had tears rolling down my face when they played Helvegen as my cousin past away of months before thanks WARDRUNA ❤️
It's funny how things are simply destined to be, been feeling poorly last few days and this popped up yesterday evening so I saved this until just now. Really great relaxed honest interview from 2 guys who completely understand and are living the path of the soul. It felt like I was sitting there with you, the time absolutely flew by. Truth is we are all part of the web of knowledge and are all u undergoing our own Earthly experiences, I believe there is an awakening of consciousness, and knowing there are scholars who speak so clearly with words of resonance and personal truth through research and own experiences allow the listener to take stock of their own experiences. Social media by and large is something that I'm not fond of, however it does have its uses, and seeing and listening to this grounded conversation has made me feel so much better. Have a wonderful day all, and a gracious thank you to the maker and Mr Selvik, you will live on through your music, your songs and poetry brother.
Lee
This interview is absolutely stunning and really touched my soul thank you so much for it
Tusen takk til dere begge for en inspirerende samtale 🌟
Helvegen is the first song in Old Norse I've learned every word to. I get chills every single time I play and sing it. I found your channel recently and absolutely love your prose-ish take on the lyrics to Helvegen, and I absolutely understand the emotions you felt while speaking it. Thank you for all you do, and for connecting with us and connecting with music like this.
thank you so much for that special introduction. it was very touching. sub'd.
I think what is underrated is language and spelling, casting spells, in it self and the power of suggestion through spelling. I think at huge part of runes is creating a field of conciousness which becomes concious in it self, in a very real way, and they way that this field is nudged and recreated is through suggestions. Relation creates conciousness.
Listening to Einar talking about his approach to working with the runes in music and creation immediately reminded me of Daniel Higgs of the band Lungfish (*highly* recommended) and how he sees himself as a vessel for the music, nature and creation to speak through him. Creating and holding sacred space through chant, repetition, trance etc. We tend to think of such states as "mystical" but only because we've been so cut off from them in the modern world. The ancient and primal world is still here, all around us and within us, spanning across all times - we just get so distracted navigating the current round of facade that we forget much of what we all once knew, deeply and intuitively.
I felt more connection as soon as I heard his voice. Hearing his music caused me to have interesting dreams unlike any I've ever had. I know he's tapped into the spirit of the old ways, and is blessed because of them.
This hit hard. I cried when you broke down the meaning. I love this song. I love Wardruna. I feel at peace and home when I listen to them. Same with Danheim. I don’t know the songs in English. I wish they were done in English. I’d like to understand better what I hear. I’m learning Danish. It’s not easy at all lol.
@stravacker jag laerer mig svenska och jag förstår din mening redan.
Dansk verkar vara liknade.
Mind any mistakes ;)
Some of the official music videos of Wardruna on RUclips have captions in multiple languages, including English. Maybe that can help you.
The Wardruna+Aurora Version of Helvegen has captions in English 😄 Also there are a lot of interpretations of the song in different languages already! I'm not sure if there is (a good) one in English, but for anyone interested (and maybe able to speak) check the polish version from the bands Dziwoludy and Żniwa, it's wording is awesome! The sound is not as ethereal as Wardruna, it has more of an "earthly-vibe" to it, but still great.
makeing me shed tears in public transport bro was not ready for this bro
I think even in the HP world, it gets there in the end: “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” - Albus Dumbledore
What a precious interview! Seeing you both together is awesome, please repeat it. The topics discussed are rarely talked openly. I can understand the gatekeeping and the need to protect the traditions but at least pointing at the direction with hints is very helpful and yes, we need more like Einar Selvik!
Clan Gunn Orkneys decendent. I appreciate this video and discussion you're having with Einar Selvík. Big fan of Wardruna
Thank you for posting this interview in English, just love listening to Einar talk about his passion for music.
Excellent! I saw Wardruna in November in concert. Best concert I've ever been to. Incredible experience!
I was tearing up in my chest too mate 😂🍺🍺🍻
This interview was so awesome! Very cool to hear about his music through an animist lens. It was particularly interesting to hear him talking about “hunting” for a song.
Just subscribed to your channel, Rune. Love your work and have found great insight and look forward to future videos.
So happy I discovered this band. Beautiful ❤
One of the best interviews with Einar, Thank You, subscribed.
I do like tribal drumming. Many magic, pagan, witches and Native American. This touches my soul and makes me dance up a frenzy 🎉❤
Einar has captured the heart of music. His compositions are bringing our connection to nature alive. Music has always moved me to the core. And his takes it to the next level. Thank you so much Rune for this interview.
Master class Einar ❤
this was all I really needed rn, one of einar’s long interviews, it came on the right time ❤
Two warriors together
speaking such wisdom. To nice to see. My sences dance in Joy! My heart to. I wish to join. My friends, family and tribe of old. Hahaha to interesting topics... it is enchanting indeed this... magical rememberence.. but we did hella lot of work for sure. ♡
Tak for dine fine videoer. Jeg nyder dem meget. Jeg lærer så meget. Hvor er det et godt koncept for en sang. Jeg vil synge noget mere for mine døde. Tak for at sprede vigtig viden. Jeg sidder med tåre i øjnene.
What a good and deep interview. Of course, this is master class level, but that is what I was looking for! And what a level of expertise by both Einar and Nordic Animism. Well done lads! Well done!
Very very nice, interesting and powerful!!! and well done speaking in defence of Finnur Magnússon,!!!
Great thought provoking discussion, thank you very much.
WONDERFUL thought-invoking interview ! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing !! :)
Eastern Washington State, US over here. Love this channel.
Great, inspiring interview...and I think someone was starstrucked 😂💚
Gorgeous and talented. I want one, but it will never happen. I live in the wrong part of the stupid world 😢
Mange tak for dette interview Rune, virkelig godt arbejde. Introen gav mig gåsehud og du er ikke den eneste der får tårer frem af at høre Helvegen.
Thanks!
I just started watching, the music coming from the festival, I am distracted XD
As you read it I began to cried seconds before you did, we must have felt the same thing..
I really found your concept of runes interesting, as it reminded me a great deal of the Jungian concept of archetypes; perfect divine expressions, of which every physical equivalent is only a mere shadow
Hey Rune, why is there "Notify Me When Event is Happening Button? Thanks
I can't not cry hearing that song.
In Borre, Vestfold 😂 Hafskjold lands.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Saving souls one play at a time
😍😍😍
Nice.Hi bro.
I feel like the Clash. I’m so bored with the USA but what can I do?
🎇
I love that you compare him to bob Marley, as both einar and bob were spiritual teachers ❤️
Watched this twice, didn't want to miss a point. litiluism, lol
Einar is King
Who is in the background?
Ukrainian is Nordic you remember Floki Loki we are all partakers of the divine nature we are not forgotten I am in a very painful transition I am praying for everyone have a wonderful day
True !!!!!Physically equal like BOB too!!!hahahahahaah
i want to know what einar's shirt says.
It should be something like "man knows little" (litiluism -> litilvíss (er) maðr -> Lite vet mennesket). It's from the Oseberg ship.
@@Mrrafngard oh cool. thanks alot for the reply!
Sorry I talk to much. No one to talk to yet. I am in the Southern part of the USA. I am here to wake up those who belong to the ancient ways. I am a high Priestess of Freya. Rise Sister and Brother Rise. The burning times and times to hide are over

Beautiful
