Hello again champion: Here you have some information about this magnificent musical theme: The first verse (repeated at the end) is one of the spells in "The Merseburg Charms." These are two medieval incantations, written in Old High German. They are the only known examples of pagan Germanic mythology preserved in this language and which were discovered in 1841 by Georg Waitz, 1 who found them in a Fulda theological manuscript, written in the 9th or 10th century, 2 although there is some speculation about the date. of the spells themselves. The incantation of the verse is a resolution spell, where some Idisi (female mythological beings of Germanic folklore associated with destiny) seek to free some prisoners from all their bonds. Svipdag asks her mother for her knowledge of völva for her protection and Groa then sings nine spells or incantations, which come from one of the six Eddic poems related to Gróagaldr's necromantic practice or "The Enchantments of Gróa." In this it is detailed how Svipdag brings his mother Gróa that she is a völva, from the dead. Since she had trusted him to do it before she died if he ever needed her help from her. The purpose of this necromancy was that she might assist her son in a task entrusted to him by her cunning stepmother. He confesses the danger of this task, which aims to win the hand of a woman named Menglöð by asking her mother to cast spells for her protection, then Gróa begins to recite nine spells or incantations to protect him during the feat of she. In Norse mythology, Gróa is identified as the völva who tried to remove the stone from the god Thor's forehead, after his battle against the giant Hrungnir. Gróa appears in the Skáldskaparmál book of the Prose Edda in the context of Thor's battle against the jötunn Hrungnir. After Thor defeated Hrungnir with the Mjollnir hammer, Gróa is called in to remove the shards of Hrungnir's sharpening stone that were embedded in Thor's head. Unfortunately while Gróa was at work, Thor was distracted by giving her news of her husband's whereabouts (who had previously helped Aurvandil cross the Elivágar river), telling her that her husband was at home, so Gróa miscarried the spell. and the sharpening stone pieces remained permanently embedded in Thor's head. And yes ... some of the members hired by the band have left after the previous tour and others have entered for this new tour. Now, as the Futha album is more feminine, the stage has a greater presence of women. There are even a couple of them that are warriors. The three members of the group remain the same, although Kay Uwe has incorporated larger horns into his headdress. lyrics: Once sat women, they sat here, then there. Some fastened bonds, some impeded an army, Some unraveled fetters: Escape the bonds, flee the enemy! Gróa: Then first I will chant thee: The charm oft-tried, that Rani taught to Rind. From the shoulder whate'er mislikes thee shake, for helper thyself shalt thou have. Svipdag: Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men. Gróa: Then next I will chant thee: If needs thou must travel, and wander a purposeless way. The bolts of Urth shall on every side be thy guards on the road thou goest. Svipdag: Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men. Gróa: Then third I will chant thee: If threatening streams the danger of death shall bring. Yet to Hel shall turn both Horn and Ruth, and before thee the waters shall fail. Svipdag: Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men. Gróa: Then fourth I will chant thee: If come thy foes on the gallows-way against thee. Into thine hands shall their hearts be given, and peace shall the warriors wish. Svipdag: Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men. Gróa: Then fifth I will chant thee: If fetters perchance shall bind thy bending limbs. O'er thy thighs do I chant a loosening-charm, and the lock is burst from the limbs, and the fetters fall from the feet. Svipdag: Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men. Gróa: Then sixth I will chant thee: If storms on the sea have might unknown to man. Yet never shall wind or wave do harm, and calm is the course of thy boat. Svipdag: Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men. Gróa: Then seventh I chant thee: If frost shall seek to kill thee on lofty crags. The fatal cold shall not grip thy flesh, and whole thy body shall be. Svipdag: Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men. Gróa: Then eighth will I chant thee: If ever by night thou shalt wander on murky ways. Yet never the curse of a Christian woman from the dead shall do thee harm. Svipdag: Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men. Gróa: Then ninth will I chant thee: If needs thou must strive with a warlike giant in words. Thy heart good store of wit shall have, and thy mouth of words full wise. Svipdag: Fjon, I wash off my enemies, theft and anger of rich men. Once sat women, they sat here, then there. Some fastened bonds, some impeded an army, Some unraveled fetters: Escape the bonds, flee the enemy! A hug.
Well, I was way off the mark with the story... Thank you for the explanation. Good stuff. Ah, that explains the missing members. I did notice the larger horns on the shaman. :) Thank you once again for the suggestion and explanation.
I was at a concert in Germany in '19. Never before have I come out of a concert so grounded. It was fantastic, a real experience. The voice of Maria Franz is so haunting, you will never forget this voice. Listen to maria's own band "Euzen"
Really reminds me of the mythology about the ones under ground (De underjordiska) still part of folklore in Scandinavia. There is a scene in the swedish movie Ronja Rövardotter (Ronia the Robber's daughter- not the anime version) where she is called by them in the forest. Swedes will understand what I mean😂

Swedes will understand what I mean😂
Listen to this while watching James Cameron avatar scene where they pray to Eywa
Hey, what happened to your other Heilung reaction songs? I've really liked them.
Oh wow. All the LIFA ones got banned. I didn't even notice... Thanks for letting me know... Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it...
