ASMR speaking Old Norse to you, softly, at night
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 май 2023
- In this video, I am using the reconstructed 1200s old norse pronounciation to read the first couple of chapters of the saga of Orvar-Odd. I am using this transcription of the medieval manuscript from heimskringla.no, which is free to use:
heimskringla.no/wiki/%C3%96rv...
I didn't find an english translation that was free online, but here's a short synopsis of the saga:
mythus.fandom.com/wiki/Orvar-...
I'm from western Norway, and my dialect alone allows me to understand part of this. BUT: I probably pronounce a lot words wrong, and I haven't ever studied old norse.
This video is mostly meant for relaxation and sleep aid. To listen to a soft voice speaking a language you don't understand can help you fall asleep easier than if you understand the content. You can imagine yourself listening to a fireside storyteller on a warm summer night somewhere in Norway a thousand years ago.
Sweet dreams :)

The purpose of this video is not accuracy, but relaxation and sleep.(I’m sure I pronounce a lot of words wrong.)
I am reading from the first chapters of the saga of Arrow-Odd: mythus.fandom.com/wiki/Orvar-Oddr
More info in the description box above
This is very beautiful! And yes, you are right - a text spoken in an unknown language leeds to sleeps much easier since you don't have to concentrate on the content.
Plus, the athmosphere here is hauntingly beautiful with the soft wind and Adrian's Nordic 'violin' in the back. Thanks!
I feel like I'm hearing a Völva or Skald telling me the feats of some long dead hero by a fire. Very relaxing.
Thank you! I do read from an old, Icelandic saga. There is a bit of info about it in the description box.
Wow.....my tingles got chills and my chills got tingles
OW!!! I BURNT MY HAND!!!
... _At night_ 🧽👉
This is very soothing and calming to listen to. I'm sure I could fall asleep to it quite readily.
It reminds me somewhat of a few spoken portions of some of the Wardruna albums I have listened to, specifically the spoken portions. It also brings to mind some of the Old Norse lines from the movie "The Thirteenth Warrior."
And strangely enough, it also reminds me of some of the speaking performances I have been so fortunate to hear by a friend of mine (described as being 'so intelligent it's not even fair'), who has taught herself to speak quite easily in Old English. She has memorized a number of old poems in that language, and even engaged in a personal project to translate a complete copy of "The Hobbit" into Old English. Listening to your quiet recitation from this Norse saga...it reminds me of a handful of times that I have sat in my shop or by a fire and listened to my friend holding forth in Old English.
Pray tell, do you have plans to do further readings of the sagas in Old Norse?
Not at this moment no, but I might try other languages, real, extinct or fantasy.
I may be wrong but apparently old English and old Norse were similar enough to allow communication between the two peoples due to the Germanic roots they shared
Damn she spittin
It's weird being Icelandic and hearing old Norse because it's basically the same
Hi there. Trying to legitimately learn old norse and found a couple people saying what you said. So my question is,if I want to learn old norse,should I just learn Icelandic instead? Or,is that just a good place to start?
@midnytespectre2952 it doesn't really matter which one you learn because old Norse is basically just Icelandic, but I do think old Norse would be a better option.
@FIRFOR06 Thank you. It's hard finding learning sources,but I'm currently grabbing a few options.
It sounds so pretty!
This sounds really cool!
I often find that Old Norse (pronounced by modern speakers) sounds in tone quite Swedish or Norwegian. Obviously Icelandic is much closer linguistically. But just the way the vowel sounds/tonality comes out. It's DEFINITELY not danish at least. Huehueh!
Also I can understand a fair bit of it too.
Well you know, the Norwegians and swedish were the last of the Vikings to fall to the Christian bastards. While the danish were the first as they were weak. Tho we didnt help much as we were busy raiding eachother as a bunch of crazy berserkers lol
@@pandachief1144 "Christian Bastards" is a pretty hot take
@@pandachief1144 "Christian bastards" the Vikings started it when they invaded and massacred monks and raped nuns. The Vikings were far more evil than the Christians.
@@pandachief1144 "While the danish were the first as they were weak"
*Laughs in Kalmarunion*
And with the Irish, they intermarried and created such beautiful bastards as myself.
Skyrim is for the Nords!
Started listening yo a band that sings about Norse Mythology and it made me wonder of there was any kind of Norse ASMR.
This almost feels as calm as Russian, good stuff.
Is the band by any chance called Brothers of Metal? If so, I really like them myself.
I love the sound of Old Norse. Some of the tones sound similar to my language of Hmong sometimes.
😌🖤
Do more if possible.
almost like my language, my icelandic ♥️
I'm glad to hear it! (And I do realize that I managed to pronounce Lopthæna wrong the entire video...)
Lofthæna btw literally translates to Air-chiken
Loft also means attick, or the space just under the rafters of a house. We still use that word in Norwegian.@@spikeyhat9951
@@nightmotherasmr
English, too :-)
Hello! Can you record something long, about nightmother from dark brotherhood please? I love skyrim related rps
I am making another Skyrim-related video, but not about the NightMother.
@@nightmotherasmr I'd love that, thanks! It's just Nightmother gives me chills she's my favorite entity in the game but any content is fine🌷❤️
I actually initially thought your channel was named for the Night Mother!
For my brother ALDUIN and my father AKATOSH! SKOL!
Id be curious for a translation...but Im guessing old Norse is sadly a dead language
There is a link to a synopsis of the saga in the description :)
If the woman in the image was somewhat classic, with no makeup and you know, proper old norse...
As if it really matters, seriously?
The voice of a Valkyrie
I didn't understand a single thing but I fell asleep nonetheless!
