      Dude, same here!
      It's absolutely mindblowingly magical.
      I've been drawn to Old Norse culture for a while, even though I'm Belgian. Through watching Vikings, I became enthralled by its music and that's how I found my way to Wardruna. I eventually saw them live in NL last year. A fond memory! Hypnotised by the language and the instruments, I started looking things up on the Internet and eventually found my way to the early videos Mr. Crawford put out there. After listening to his beautiful lesson on Ragnar's poem, I became a Patreon and noticed about a week ago that he announced this interview with Wardruna.
      Albeit it being such a silly little detail, it just blows my mind to see how some things seem to go full circle in your life. Makes you wonder if there is in fact a little bit more mysticism to this world.
      If you're as excited about Wardruna as I am, I'd really recommend Heilung and Danheim. Although a similar vibe, they're entirely different beats. Skuggsjá is a band Einar (Wardruna's frontman) and Ivar Bjornson (Enslaved) is great if you enjoy same heavy guitars. Kvervandi is godly.
      Sorry for gushing, I get excited about these things, lol. Maybe it could help someone else.
      tl;dr what she said

    I saw these amazing artists in Los Angeles, but truth be told I came mainly for Eivør. She blew me away! It was dissapointing that she didn't perform a new unofficial song with Wardruna as she had in the past concerts though. I wish I could have said thanked her in person and said PLEASE come back! One of the funniest things happened that night: before the last song performance Einar explained that one should recreate something new inspired by the old. It's not about being an authentic Viking and how we should honor the dead/past but be innovative. Somebody had shouted "Valhalla" to which he responded "ehh that's debatable."
    It was an honor to see them and Einar was so authentic. He kept saying from the heart to the heart thank you for your support to us.

    I don't know what it was, but Saturday the 22nd I was listening to Wardruna at work and got curious if they ever had come or had plans to come to Colorado, only to find out they were here that night and the following night! The show was sold out, so I put money down in case any tickets opened up, and they did for the 23rd! If that ain't Odin interfering, I don't know what is. I was so stoked that I got to attend, and what an amazing show it was. I've listened to both Eivor and Wardruna for years now, so to hear them both sing Helvegen was totally worthy of the applause it got. Their being in town took me by surprise, so the thought occurred to me to message Crawford to make sure he knew as well, but I figured if they're going to Boulder, either they knew he was their or he knew they would be. Glad to hear you enjoyed the concert, man, and that it seems like you guys got on well. Would love to see a video about what you and Einar discussed. His passion for this culture is palpable, and I think even a recounting of the conversation would be enjoyable, if not the live thing. I do find it amusing that the both of you are kind of quiet to-yourself kind of people with big ideas that you still feel compelled to share with the world.
    Cheers, man! Hope you dug the show.

    It was the outdoor concert Wardruna, Aurora and Oslo Fagottkor: "HELVEGEN" that made me feel connected to a heritage I am a part of, yet know little about. My search led me to Jackson Crawford and many others on RUclips, as well as books. It's been amazing. I feel so lucky to have come across this quite by accident today and seeing people I've come to respect so much together, talking and laughing, and not very far from where I live actually, is so cool. Immersing myself in the music, language and traditions of the Scandinavian people makes me feel connected to a place I've never been, but where my Swedish grandfather was born. Really enjoyed this, thanks.
