This nordic folklore, a baby born under an eclipse was special. They were shapeshifters and could change age even. You will notice briefly that the baby is actually born with antler nubs which grow with her. She is a Guardian of Nature and at the end she blends with the bison/ox. It's more tribal than "folk" this is the translation/background given by the amazing Nidels who spreads his knowledge on almost every Heilung track The lyrics for this piece are mainly taken from bracteates: golden, circular coins or amulets found in Northern Europe that date from the 4th to 7th centuries CE. They are often fitted with a decorated rim and loop, which indicates that they were meant to be worn and perhaps provide protection, fulfil wishes or for divination. The bracteates feature a very significant iconography influenced by Roman coinage. They were predominantly made from Roman gold, which was given to the North Germanic peoples as peace money. In Anoana, the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of likely encoded spells from the Migration Period and get a touch of magic from the Dark Ages. The intention of the piece is to playfully reconnect to an incantational language of a period where the North was richer in gold than any other region. Our forefathers presumably enjoyed a time of great prosperity and it may make us rethink how dark these ages real Above the sign on the womb of the giving birth mother is probably a painted version of Ægirs Hjelm/Aegishjalmur/Ægishjálmr ("Ægir's Helmet"), which is a symbol described in the Poetic Edda as a symbol of ultimate protection, physical, mental and spiritual referred to as protection against all kinds of fear "Ægir/Ægi" means "Sea" in both dialects of Old Norse and is also the name of the personification of the sea. "Ægir's Gate", describes the eddies that drag ships to the bottom of the sea. Ægir / Ægi has often been described as an old man with a long white beard, and to see him standing still in the water was a bad omen, as he surfaced to drag people and ships to the bottom of the ocean. Ægirs Hjelm is described in the Poetic Edda in a stanza with a shape-shifting dragon, Fafner, whose blood is poisonous. The dragon guards a treasure and, with the help of Ægirs Hjelm's spell, is invincible. In The Galdrabók, the symbol is also described as something "you wear on your forehead, between your eyebrows"). In any case, this must be taken with tweezers since it may be wrong. About the solar eclipse perhaps these images would be connected with the symbol of the black sun. For the ancients, the sun was the source of life, as it provided them with heat and energy. The lack of him was just the opposite. For the ancient peoples, it seems that the periodicity and continuity of day and night made us think not only of the existence of 1 sun, but of two suns, one bright and luminous and the other black. One represented life and the other death. This could be translated as the balance between light and dark and its connection to the world of the dead and the living. In it, the dawn of the day was interpreted as the rebirth of life and its renewal. That is why eclipses were so important for all primitive and ancient cultures: When the sun disappeared in broad daylight, they predicted that eclipses would bring about great changes, or that even in the worst case, the world could come to an end.

Thank you for doing all the research on this. You have achieved the best explaination I have ever heard/ must be a tenured professor/superfan award. Please accept the much deserved trophy I will be sending by mail and keep up the good work.
The last scene of this video always evokes my emotions. To me the entire story culminates in that final scene. To my mind what's happening is she is embracing her destiny and no obstacles will stop her from achieving that destiny even if it means charging head first through everything to her future like a bull. Just my interpretation. I'm probably wrong but it's what I feel.
well....I feel like its two become one. As if we are all from one source and returning to it. There is no separation, only what we artificially construct. When we can drop the pretense of dominance and realize we are connected, the world can begin to heal.
Yes, I agree!! She sacrificed her 'self' in small human form to merge with a being OF the land, to become one with her destiny, a spirit of nature/Earth. It's like giving ourselves to our passion or mission in life and having it live on as something bigger than you could ever physically be. And you can tell there's so much going on in her mind and heart.. as she became a woman, there was a presence of raw determination, yet she knew something daunting and heavy was waiting for her. The song is absolutely stellar, and the filming of the video was expertly done.
This is not your typical genre of music, so while you may be familiar because of your musical tastes, the rest of the world, including myself, is not. And sometimes it takes a lot more to gain a wider audience,so yes, by the looks of it, antlers and a costume were needed.
Wiking was a job description, not a matter of heredity, they were also farmers, traders and blacksmiths, but armor and weapon makers, carpenters, stone carvers, jewelry makers, bead makers, bone and antler carvers, cup makers, potters, weavers, and amber dealers. Raiding is what they are known for. So a lot of other important things they have done gets pushed to the side.
I once experienced a Wiccan Mabon ritual some years ago. The ritual takes place after dark with in a circle of up to 13 and around a bon fire. Chants are mostly in Celtic tribal language and honoring the god and goddess figures of masculine and feminine. Celebration of life through nature and spiritual healing are key practices of Wiccans. Native American traditions are similar as well.
@@JayRuller_ Thanks for your reply! I failed to mention that moon phases (waxing/waning) are a part of the sabbats during the (witches) calendar year. 4 major and 4 minor sabbats, Mabon is one of the 3 harvest celebrations as well. Lamas 8/1 and Samhain 11/1 are the other two.
I love the animal totem theme in this video. The animal does not accept her challenge as a little girl in the forest because she’s not ready. The challenge she faces as an adult is dangerous, reflecting the belief many of our ancestors had that animal totems aren’t just a protective, got-your-back force, but are wild and uncanny. Love it!
I *always* cry at the last big chorus right after the girl brings the bird back to life. I try not to. I tell myself it's just a song, nothing to get emotional about, but the tears flow anyway...
Heilung is absolutely EPIC 🥰🤘 By the Way, that's not a "Wiking" Song, it's a Tale from the pre Wiking Era. By the Way, my absolute favorite Song by Heilung is "Krigsgraldr" (the Live Version)! Wardruna (Viking Music) Formation is great too! Best Song EVER is the Live Version of "Helvegen" (Funeral Song)...Wardruna feat. Aurora! You absolutely have to listen to it 👍 Greets from Germany
This is pointing to pre viking ange- The germanic tribes in the north - and you will find Nerthus with her wagon and later Frøya/ Freya as aprt of the belief system ( so this is before the conflict senterd male dominated gods from the Black sea aeria / indo europeans - Tor and Odin _ loooong before)
It is a very Powerful music, it's best to see them Live and embrace the ritual as it happens, feel it in your Soul and walk away a new Soul with open eyes to the world.. As a Heathen, I go to their rituals as often as I can when they come to the States. Stay Strong and may Peace be with you. Skål

The language that the people living in scandinavia during the migration periode spoke in.Pre-viking era. The only words of Anoana's handwriting that are known with certainty is Landawariar (Protector of the land)
Absolutely right. the lyrics don't make sense, inscriptions are not words, therefore thought to be magical enchantments made to be worn for protection. studies are still being made on this subject and their finds in archeology. You are absolutely right. To add to this, there are still things being dug up and discovered.
The language is proto-norse-. It was spoken during the migration periode in scandinavia. Its pre-viking era. This is what the band says aboiut the song. They also added some "kulning" around 4:43, which is a swedish herding call. THink of it liuek the swedish "Yoddeling" They probably used it in norway aswell. But I can only speak for sweden though.

Some of us, like Kai from Heilung, still practice Shamanism. There is a lot to Shamanism. But it is very real and still practiced. It is also used as and alternative medicine. Shamanism, Reiki and others.
Very informative, I was unaware of this practice, but doing abit of research while making this video really opened my eyes. Thank for sharing and watching my video.
My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991. By 2005, it had really started affecting his mobility and motor skills. He had two different brain procedures which helped a bit. Eventually my mom started looking into different modes of therapy. She took him to a guy that specializes in acupuncture and other forms of eastern medicine. He started doing reiki along with acupuncture. This also help with his mobility. The most interesting thing was my dad had a scar on his thigh from a bullet fragment that hit him when he was a kid. After a few sessions of reiki, the scar went away. There's just so much we don't know (and a lot of people don't want to know) about the energy flowing through our bodies and how it can be used.
Shamanism is powerful stuff. Both a gift and a burden. But a burden we are willing to to bear. It's brought me a lot of peace to help others in small ways.
This song always makes me so emotional and unable to put words to what I'm feeling 😭❤️ much like you, I understood this song to be centered around the connection between birth and nature
whenever i hear (or see) the part where the mother sings calmly to her child- i can't help but tear up. idk why (tbh it's probably my own effed up connection to my birther) it's just so beautiful, feels like she's singing to it in such a personal matter, telling of how she'll become something great, wherever her path may lead. so happy you're learning about heilung and enjoying their music! also you may want to check out Maria's earlier works, she changed A LOT.
It wasn't a challenge to other mammals but the merging of the woman with her spirit animal (she was searching for it since she was a child, you see her looking at the bird in the sky, the moose later)
The bards have always woven great secrets into unsuspecting pieces of music. They leave little breadcrumbs leading us to a greater truth. Not always, of course. Some lead us to be dancers to a discordant system. There are tales as old as we are of people that can heal themselves and others. Those tales get disregarded as myth and are replaced with synthetic perversion. The only place I've ever felt the presence of a "God" is within myself and among the living trees and plants and animals. We lost the main plot a long time ago, but it makes me happy to see more and more people connecting to this group and understanding that we are missing something in this "matrix" we've created to make ourselves feel better.
WOW! I couldn't put it into words, but you have done so in plenty. That's really kind of you. Thank you for seeing my video and leaving such a strong remark.
@@JayRuller_ I've really enjoyed watching this group illuminate pathways to all sorts of humans across all sorts of spectrums. They are tapping into something that everyone who takes the time to notice can feel and they help restore lost faith in humanity. Welcome aboard, brother.
Ano Ana means Mother Nature in ancient Germanic languages. In the video, a solar eclipse can be seen before the child is born. Children born during a solar eclipse received special gifts from Mother Nature. Control of time, communication with animals and power over death. Later in the video you can see a lunar eclipse, I think this is probably the time when she has to give her gifts back to nature. Perhaps the aurochs is the totem of the tribe to which she then returns the gifts.
It's scandinavian and siberian Shamanism. It's symbolic for the circle of life. A new life beginns, the old goes, but the soul changes just the Body ... ;)
Great review of an amazing Group, I usually never watch these type videos, but your respectable review and insights regarding this track, along with your end comments, you are no "outsider" my friend, this group Is making great changes, thanks for your honesty, New sub here, Have a great day!
Greatly appreciated, am still a novice when it comes to this genre of music, but I agree it’s something special, thanks again for the support, go check out their CZcams channel link in the description 😊
When there was a birth during an eclipse, back then.....it was a sign that, that newborn would have magical powers. That was their beliefs. Thus ...bringing the bird back to life.
Funny as nobody seems to notice that Anoanna's birth happens during a solar eclipse and she decides to return to pure animal status right after another solar eclipse... As for Heilung, check Norupo out. Maria Franz is an amazing singer that has two more acts. Check it out.
Heilung are practising pagans . One of them is a real shaman. I also saw an interview with them where Maria said Anoana's story isn't finished yet. There is more coming
When I pulled up the story of how our ancestors used to be able to heal using the energy around us, and I used that story to further reinforce what I was saying, I had no idea one of them was actually a shaman.
Cool. I think the music speaks to a part of all of us that connects us to our ancestors. All of our ancestors from all around the world. We all have a beautiful tribal ancestor connection that connects us to the Earth and to each other.
good reaction video. well done. And an interesting interpretation. Mine is quite similar: In my eyes it's about birth and death / the "circle of life" btw: I was pleasantly surprised to see my hometown Heidelberg at 1:28
This is way further back than Medieval its age of the Goddess earth Mother and Nature primal spirituality in its purest form from the North Steps. Nows the time to paint our bodies with earth mud and pay homage to mother earth we need to start respecting Nature because she is not happy with whats happening to her right now with all the wars and destruction and pollution .
the norse countries that went on viking raids were very wary of upsetting the finish folks as they had very powerfull magik, they were the last norse to be converted to christainaty ,,parts of tribes still held to old beliefs upto today, the sarmi are one of a handfull of tribes that still use the old beliefs with russian mountain tribes as well ,there was documents in denmark ,sweden norway iceland showing still practiced the old norse beliefs as it was illegal to practice these beliefs
Great reaction, you really let yourself be absorbed. Can I just add some points that are important in seeing this? The most important being that the child is born under an eclipse (seen in background several times). According to previking believs they had very special gifts: hamnskifte (= the ability to change appearance), age shift, talking to animals, healing (of the bird) etc The previking time and it's religion in nordic countries is much more female directed than the religion in the later years (viking gods like Tor and Oden... ). Also healing = heilung in the german name of the band. They sing in a reconstructed version of the previking proto norse language....(and the runes at the endjust spell out ANOANA)
There's no direct translation for this, the words come from ceremonial coins or discs forged from gold given by the roman empire as a tribute to the germanic tribes so they wouldn't cross the Rhine and invade. (see the tv show Barbarians about how the germans defeated roman invaders). The albumn is supposed to be a story of of Anoana - the warrior of the land, and I can't wait to hear it.
Fantastic video ! - this is before " viking " age - this in Nerthus and Frøya/ Freyas time- the conection to the eart and sky - not the war time like the " viking "age. And we have to lift ut the feminine so it will be balanced to the masculine - if not we destroi Mother earth. When she aliens with the " beast" its a Moskus - and you find them on Dovrefjell ( mountain in the scenter of Norway.
Der Norden vergißt nie! Du weißt NICHTS, John Schnee! Moin aus Schleswig-Holstein. The North never forgets! You know NOTHING, John Snow! Hello from Schleswig-Holstein.
It's always fun seeing new peeps learning of Heilung n such. I fell in love with them when I listened to their music for Hellblade:Senua's sacrifice. If anyone hasn't played the game, I can not recommend it enough. A sequel is coming out 2024!
There is only 1 human in the video. First half girl and woman wear white. 2nd half, both wear brown. First half, girl gets distracted by coin or medallion on the ground and picks it up. Wraps her hand around it "acceptance" "carried the weight". The bird represents enlightenment. She died, only in the revelation of death did she embrace the weight of the distraction from an early age. The bird flies, you see a babe in swaddling cloth, then a new girl in brown, who does not fall to the same distraction but instead, woman in brown, charges boldly to face her obstacles no matter how great the perception of that obstacle may be. The scene fades to black for the viewer to decide. The woman is victorious by virtue of her enlightenment and decision to do so by moving forward. Every human makes bad decisions. You either allow them to corrupt you and drag you down in failure. Or you accept it, take ownership of it, learn from it, and obligate yourself not to repeat it thereby gaining victory over your inner obstacles....or demons as some may call them. But I'm not preaching from on high. As every living human knows, it's easier said than done.
I see the video as a representation of life's cycles the spiral is a symbol of life's connectedness to all things and it's endlessness we don't die we just recycle. The circle represents life's connection to all things the spiral life's endless connection to all things. We are born so another can die we die so another can be born and each life is connected to other lives that to are born and will die and so on endlessly
Humanities role as mediary between the natural and the supernatural worlds and acknowledgement of the struggle between life and death as a fated acceptance of natural order and the continuity of the duality of fragility and resilience of life itself
@@JayRuller_ I spent many years living and working with Indigenous peoples of the northern Amazon and I spent much time with Shamans. The iconography displayed in this video cuts across many cultural levels
The translation for this one is still up in the air. This was taken from bracteates during the Roman era. The coins were given to the Germanic times as a "peace" offering. This is probably the oldest language I have heard them quote.
this is great ! i am so proud of my heritage you know ! I have a suggestion for you to react to Wardruna feat. Aurora in the song HELVEGEN. it is soooo hauntingly beautiful. just sayin. Have a nice day !
From their own BTS on this video, the lyrics come from coins found in roman times and most of the words still have no translation to this day, in fact, they mostly chose parts that were unable to be translated.
I appreciate how you did not crank up the volume of your voice, so we can enjoy the music at a decent volume without going deaf as soon as the one reacting starts talking. Edit: No one really knows what the words really mean. The chantings are based on words found on amulets dating between the 6th and 7th century. They may have been incantations/spells of sorts for safe travels for instance.
The new video for 'Anoana' describes the combo with the following words: "In 'Anoana' the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of presumably encoded spells from the migration period and to experience a touch of magic from the Middle Ages. The goal of this Part of it is a playful revisit of a summoning language from a time when the North had more gold than any other region.Our ancestors probably enjoyed a time of great prosperity, and maybe that makes us think again about how dark those times really are were."
Hi there, i'd like to add something. You seem to enjoy Heilung quite a bit. You should also try out Marias band Euzen, where she sings in a clean voice. And there was a band before Heilung called Valravn. As a suggestion: Valravn - Seersken Euzen - Metamorph Would love to see Valravn's Anna Katrin and Maria singing together in Heilung again. And an other Edit.. You should check out a Band called Omnia as well
In this day and age where portions of society are very anti-white and claim "white people have no culture"....it's really nice to see open minded people such as yourself reacting to the celtic/viking/Germanic ancestral history. I think the show "Vikings" does a great job in breathing new life and appreciation into this particular part of history. Just to be clear, being proud of your ancestry and where you come from isn't wrong in ANY way....no matter what color your skin is. It's when people claim to be superior that a problem arises, or when people disrespect and belittle others for their unique ancestral heritage.
Heilung is iron age (500bc) and is before the viking age (950-1200 ad) But still the german(vikings) closed the borders for the roman Empire so they never reached germany and Scandinavia
One of the FEW (atm, the only one) who got (my opinion) the hidden meaning of the video. Nature,birth,death, the double nature within human being etc. BUT if this COULD be the hidden meaning, I guess that the "plot" of the story in this video is more about Magic. You see, the birth under "their" magical action, the connection between the "witch" and Anoana, the eclipse that is at birth time and during the last "sabba", etc. Anyway, good guessings Jay.
Isn't it quite strange people believe a certain someone could resurrect people and resurrect himself only because it's something teached and accepted for centuries but when something like that is shown in another context they call it bs or are upset? lol. by the way resurrection does exist in other cultures and beliefs more ancient than christianity.
I agree with your interpretation! The last part of the woman and the animal charging towards each other kinda signifies humans as a whole having a superiority complex against nature when we are in fact a natural part of it. When she was younger, she seemed to be more connected with nature and free spirited but as she matured, she lost her innocence and connection because she tried to fight against her being as a natural part of nature.
The biggest issue I have with my family and specially my very christian mom is that she believes everything I listen to is somewhat satanic, even when I've tried to explain to her a billion times that's not the case but now I just gave up
Tell your mother that Christianity is the mixing of Paganism and Roman Catholicism. Every Christian holiday is actually based on Pagan holiday or practice even Christmas. Instead of trying to conquer the pagan tribes of the north the British Empire started adapting pagan holidays and rituals into Christianity as to transition the Pagan tribes and absorb them into society without anymore wars and violence. Eventual over time it worked and pure Paganism was phased out and replaced by modern Christianity. Basically if you are a modern day Christian you are more of a Pagan than you think.
My interpretation of this is it depicts the three stages of womanhood: the maid, mother & crone. Not that I would call Maria Franz a crone. I think Portia Davenport's comment below is a much better interpretation - thank you. The video is just visuals for our own reflections based on what we know that has become an expected modern musical tradition. Personally I feel Heilung is best when you deny the visual aspect completely - close your eyes and open your self.
given the horns i would say one should not take the girl/woman and her actions as literally depiction of a given human being... the pictures as the song is a metaphore... a hymn to the cycle of life and death .. the love that keeps it in motion and connects all life on earth.. beyond any bounderies of species... at least that is my take on it... it is very spiritual in every way.. i know few.. no matter what religion or even no religion who did not find it fascinating and entrancing
I think this song is about territory. When the child sees a moose in the woods, she salutes them, asking their permission to stay in the area because it's their territory. At the end when she has grown up, she was in age to claim her own territory and that's what she did in the end, in the way that horned beasts do, a challenge by showing who is the strongest.
@@JayRuller_ And I think the reason because we don't see what happens with the ox beef, it's because it's not important. It's not important to be the strongest, but to do what you have to do, no matter the cost. It's the true meaning of life : you fight and you have a chance to win your freedom, you don't fight and you'll have to ask permission (to be a slave) all your life.
Throwing this out there...... you need to turn down the gain or sit farther away from mic. It's annoying hearing you breath so loud and the lip smacking we hear when you talk. No hate but it might help you keep/gain subs.
This nordic folklore, a baby born under an eclipse was special. They were shapeshifters and could change age even. You will notice briefly that the baby is actually born with antler nubs which grow with her. She is a Guardian of Nature and at the end she blends with the bison/ox. It's more tribal than "folk" this is the translation/background given by the amazing Nidels who spreads his knowledge on almost every Heilung track
The lyrics for this piece are mainly taken from bracteates: golden, circular coins or amulets found in Northern Europe that date from the 4th to 7th centuries CE. They are often fitted with a decorated rim and loop, which indicates that they were meant to be worn and perhaps provide protection, fulfil wishes or for divination.
The bracteates feature a very significant iconography influenced by Roman coinage. They were predominantly made from Roman gold, which was given to the North Germanic peoples as peace money.
In Anoana, the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of likely encoded spells from the Migration Period and get a touch of magic from the Dark Ages.
The intention of the piece is to playfully reconnect to an incantational language of a period where the North was richer in gold than any other region. Our forefathers presumably enjoyed a time of great prosperity and it may make us rethink how dark these ages real
Above the sign on the womb of the giving birth mother is probably a painted version of Ægirs Hjelm/Aegishjalmur/Ægishjálmr ("Ægir's Helmet"), which is a symbol described in the Poetic Edda as a symbol of ultimate protection, physical, mental and spiritual referred to as protection against all kinds of fear "Ægir/Ægi" means "Sea" in both dialects of Old Norse and is also the name of the personification of the sea. "Ægir's Gate", describes the eddies that drag ships to the bottom of the sea. Ægir / Ægi has often been described as an old man with a long white beard, and to see him standing still in the water was a bad omen, as he surfaced to drag people and ships to the bottom of the ocean. Ægirs Hjelm is described in the Poetic Edda in a stanza with a shape-shifting dragon, Fafner, whose blood is poisonous. The dragon guards a treasure and, with the help of Ægirs Hjelm's spell, is invincible. In The Galdrabók, the symbol is also described as something "you wear on your forehead, between your eyebrows"). In any case, this must be taken with tweezers since it may be wrong.
About the solar eclipse perhaps these images would be connected with the symbol of the black sun. For the ancients, the sun was the source of life, as it provided them with heat and energy. The lack of him was just the opposite. For the ancient peoples, it seems that the periodicity and continuity of day and night made us think not only of the existence of 1 sun, but of two suns, one bright and luminous and the other black. One represented life and the other death. This could be translated as the balance between light and dark and its connection to the world of the dead and the living. In it, the dawn of the day was interpreted as the rebirth of life and its renewal. That is why eclipses were so important for all primitive and ancient cultures: When the sun disappeared in broad daylight, they predicted that eclipses would bring about great changes, or that even in the worst case, the world could come to an end.

The language is proto-norse. The language that the people living in scandinavia during the migration periode spoke in.Pre-viking era.
About the Heilung costumes we can affirm the following: Kai Uwe Faust's tunic includes elements of the original peoples of Eurasia from the Stone Age to the end of the Iron Age; the helmet is based on a historical model from about 9000 years ago. Maria Franz's dress takes various types of Viking attire, being added by the singer several ornamental strips of the mane of a white horse. Her headdress is Siberian. Christopher Juu, meanwhile, wears historically correct Viking clothing.
Copy pasted comment, saw it on another video.
@@FatherDingo Yeah and the text was also copy pasted, since the original text is right from their website or something.
Copy/paste or not... I don't care.
Thx for sharing, so I don't need to search for it. 👍
Thank you for doing all the research on this. You have achieved the best explaination I have ever heard/ must be a tenured professor/superfan award. Please accept the much deserved trophy I will be sending by mail and keep up the good work.
The animal at the end is a muskox (Ovibos moschatus)
The last scene of this video always evokes my emotions. To me the entire story culminates in that final scene. To my mind what's happening is she is embracing her destiny and no obstacles will stop her from achieving that destiny even if it means charging head first through everything to her future like a bull. Just my interpretation. I'm probably wrong but it's what I feel.
Ohh I like that, thank you so much 😊
@@JayRuller_ thanks. Like I said, I don't know if that's the case at all just my interpretation.
well....I feel like its two become one. As if we are all from one source and returning to it. There is no separation, only what we artificially construct. When we can drop the pretense of dominance and realize we are connected, the world can begin to heal.
Yes, I agree!! She sacrificed her 'self' in small human form to merge with a being OF the land, to become one with her destiny, a spirit of nature/Earth. It's like giving ourselves to our passion or mission in life and having it live on as something bigger than you could ever physically be. And you can tell there's so much going on in her mind and heart.. as she became a woman, there was a presence of raw determination, yet she knew something daunting and heavy was waiting for her. The song is absolutely stellar, and the filming of the video was expertly done.
@@Kelly_Cook totally agree with you
Heilung has captivated the world.
I swear! and its well deserved.
Maria Franz has been around for like ten years. It only took a costume and antlers for people to "discover" her.
This is not your typical genre of music, so while you may be familiar because of your musical tastes, the rest of the world, including myself, is not. And sometimes it takes a lot more to gain a wider audience,so yes, by the looks of it, antlers and a costume were needed.
I think the success of the tv series Vikings has opened the door for many people to explore music like this.
Well, and the rest of them to interact together as Heilung. Kinda don't think Maria standing on stage in costume would have worked as well.js
Maria is the outward face, Kay is the power behind this band. They compliment each other, and probably needed to meet for the magick to happen.
Wiking was a job description, not a matter of heredity, they were also farmers, traders and blacksmiths, but armor and weapon makers, carpenters, stone carvers, jewelry makers, bead makers, bone and antler carvers, cup makers, potters, weavers, and amber dealers. Raiding is what they are known for. So a lot of other important things they have done gets pushed to the side.
Raw connection with the earth and animals. Magic is real! It’s ritual at its finest! Love Heilung!
I once experienced a Wiccan Mabon ritual some years ago. The ritual takes place after dark with in a circle of up to 13 and around a bon fire. Chants are mostly in Celtic tribal language and honoring the god and goddess figures of masculine and feminine. Celebration of life through nature and spiritual healing are key practices of Wiccans. Native American traditions are similar as well.
Sounds like a very beautiful experience, hope you found your answers on the path you walked.
@@JayRuller_ Thanks for your reply! I failed to mention that moon phases (waxing/waning) are a part of the sabbats during the (witches) calendar year. 4 major and 4 minor sabbats, Mabon is one of the 3 harvest celebrations as well. Lamas 8/1 and Samhain 11/1 are the other two.
Wicca is a neo religion and has stolen witchcraft practices from many ethnic people.
I love the animal totem theme in this video. The animal does not accept her challenge as a little girl in the forest because she’s not ready. The challenge she faces as an adult is dangerous, reflecting the belief many of our ancestors had that animal totems aren’t just a protective, got-your-back force, but are wild and uncanny. Love it!
I always thought it was not because she wasn't ready, she didn't find the right animal yet, but I guess it's up to interpretation.
The ending....Her spirit is merging with the musk ox, symbolizing the oneness of all life.
I *always* cry at the last big chorus right after the girl brings the bird back to life. I try not to. I tell myself it's just a song, nothing to get emotional about, but the tears flow anyway...
Heilung is absolutely EPIC 🥰🤘
By the Way, that's not a "Wiking" Song, it's a Tale from the pre Wiking Era.
By the Way, my absolute favorite Song by Heilung is "Krigsgraldr" (the Live Version)! Wardruna (Viking Music) Formation is great too! Best Song EVER is the Live Version of "Helvegen" (Funeral Song)...Wardruna feat. Aurora!
You absolutely have to listen to it 👍
Greets from Germany
This is pointing to pre viking ange- The germanic tribes in the north - and you will find Nerthus with her wagon and later Frøya/ Freya as aprt of the belief system ( so this is before the conflict senterd male dominated gods from the Black sea aeria / indo europeans - Tor and Odin _ loooong before)
The newest one dropped Asja is amazing too!
ohh I never saw the one on my search
YESSSSSSS ❤️
Yess also tenet is my favorite
Anoana means that we have two souls a human and animal soul.
It is a very Powerful music, it's best to see them Live and embrace the ritual as it happens, feel it in your Soul and walk away a new Soul with open eyes to the world.. As a Heathen, I go to their rituals as often as I can when they come to the States. Stay Strong and may Peace be with you. Skål
I’ve been to see Heilung and it’s mesmerizing. You go in a trance with the ritual music
Hi: The lyrics for this piece are mainly taken from bracteates: golden, circular coins or amulets found in Northern Europe that date from the 4th to 7th centuries CE. They are often fitted with a decorated rim and loop, which indicates that they were meant to be worn and perhaps provide protection, fulfil wishes or for divination.
The bracteates feature a very significant iconography influenced by Roman coinage. They were predominantly made from Roman gold, which was given to the North Germanic peoples as peace money.
In Anoana, the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of likely encoded spells from the Migration Period and get a touch of magic from the Dark Ages.
The intention of the piece is to playfully reconnect to an incantational language of a period where the North was richer in gold than any other region. Our forefathers presumably enjoyed a time of great prosperity and it may make us rethink how dark these ages real
Above the sign on the womb of the giving birth mother is probably a painted version of Ægirs Hjelm/Aegishjalmur/Ægishjálmr ("Ægir's Helmet"), which is a symbol described in the Poetic Edda as a symbol of ultimate protection, physical, mental and spiritual referred to as protection against all kinds of fear "Ægir/Ægi" means "Sea" in both dialects of Old Norse and is also the name of the personification of the sea. "Ægir's Gate", describes the eddies that drag ships to the bottom of the sea. Ægir / Ægi has often been described as an old man with a long white beard, and to see him standing still in the water was a bad omen, as he surfaced to drag people and ships to the bottom of the ocean. Ægirs Hjelm is described in the Poetic Edda in a stanza with a shape-shifting dragon, Fafner, whose blood is poisonous. The dragon guards a treasure and, with the help of Ægirs Hjelm's spell, is invincible. In The Galdrabók, the symbol is also described as something "you wear on your forehead, between your eyebrows"). In any case, this must be taken with tweezers since it may be wrong.
About the solar eclipse perhaps these images would be connected with the symbol of the black sun. For the ancients, the sun was the source of life, as it provided them with heat and energy. The lack of him was just the opposite. For the ancient peoples, it seems that the periodicity and continuity of day and night made us think not only of the existence of 1 sun, but of two suns, one bright and luminous and the other black. One represented life and the other death. This could be translated as the balance between light and dark and its connection to the world of the dead and the living. In it, the dawn of the day was interpreted as the rebirth of life and its renewal.

The language is proto-norse. The language that the people living in scandinavia during the migration periode spoke in.Pre-viking era. The only words of Anoana's handwriting that are known with certainty is Landawariar (Protector of the land)
Thanks!
🖤
Absolutely right. the lyrics don't make sense, inscriptions are not words, therefore thought to be magical enchantments made to be worn for protection. studies are still being made on this subject and their finds in archeology. You are absolutely right. To add to this, there are still things being dug up and discovered.
Heilung is an amazing group words cant explain ! It makes me emotional just listening to them ina great way
That singer, Maria She connects hard somehow. She has something in her deliverence, one hell of a vocalist, at the very least
The language is proto-norse-. It was spoken during the migration periode in scandinavia. Its pre-viking era. This is what the band says aboiut the song. They also added some "kulning" around 4:43, which is a swedish herding call. THink of it liuek the swedish "Yoddeling" They probably used it in norway aswell. But I can only speak for sweden though.

It's healing to chant and sing it changes your brain chemistry and lights up areas. Natural healing
Some of us, like Kai from Heilung, still practice Shamanism. There is a lot to Shamanism. But it is very real and still practiced. It is also used as and alternative medicine. Shamanism, Reiki and others.
Very informative, I was unaware of this practice, but doing abit of research while making this video really opened my eyes. Thank for sharing and watching my video.
My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991. By 2005, it had really started affecting his mobility and motor skills. He had two different brain procedures which helped a bit. Eventually my mom started looking into different modes of therapy. She took him to a guy that specializes in acupuncture and other forms of eastern medicine. He started doing reiki along with acupuncture. This also help with his mobility. The most interesting thing was my dad had a scar on his thigh from a bullet fragment that hit him when he was a kid. After a few sessions of reiki, the scar went away. There's just so much we don't know (and a lot of people don't want to know) about the energy flowing through our bodies and how it can be used.
Shamanism is powerful stuff. Both a gift and a burden. But a burden we are willing to to bear. It's brought me a lot of peace to help others in small ways.
Superb! Heilung speaks to my ancient tribe. LOOOOOOOOOV.
This song always makes me so emotional and unable to put words to what I'm feeling 😭❤️ much like you, I understood this song to be centered around the connection between birth and nature
whenever i hear (or see) the part where the mother sings calmly to her child- i can't help but tear up. idk why (tbh it's probably my own effed up connection to my birther) it's just so beautiful, feels like she's singing to it in such a personal matter, telling of how she'll become something great, wherever her path may lead.
so happy you're learning about heilung and enjoying their music!
also you may want to check out Maria's earlier works, she changed A LOT.
What a fantastic interesting band love music that makes you think
Honestly I couldn’t agree more
I think they are really summed up by their name. Heilung means Healing.
Bro, you need to react to some of their live performance songs.
Do the the LIFA krigsgaldr and In maidjan ..some mindboggling stuff there.
Been following them for years now
Ssme! Its my favorite band for 3 years now hehe
It wasn't a challenge to other mammals but the merging of the woman with her spirit animal (she was searching for it since she was a child, you see her looking at the bird in the sky, the moose later)
The bards have always woven great secrets into unsuspecting pieces of music. They leave little breadcrumbs leading us to a greater truth. Not always, of course. Some lead us to be dancers to a discordant system. There are tales as old as we are of people that can heal themselves and others. Those tales get disregarded as myth and are replaced with synthetic perversion. The only place I've ever felt the presence of a "God" is within myself and among the living trees and plants and animals. We lost the main plot a long time ago, but it makes me happy to see more and more people connecting to this group and understanding that we are missing something in this "matrix" we've created to make ourselves feel better.
WOW! I couldn't put it into words, but you have done so in plenty. That's really kind of you. Thank you for seeing my video and leaving such a strong remark.
@@JayRuller_ I've really enjoyed watching this group illuminate pathways to all sorts of humans across all sorts of spectrums. They are tapping into something that everyone who takes the time to notice can feel and they help restore lost faith in humanity. Welcome aboard, brother.
Ano Ana means Mother Nature in ancient Germanic languages. In the video, a solar eclipse can be seen before the child is born. Children born during a solar eclipse received special gifts from Mother Nature. Control of time, communication with animals and power over death. Later in the video you can see a lunar eclipse, I think this is probably the time when she has to give her gifts back to nature. Perhaps the aurochs is the totem of the tribe to which she then returns the gifts.
It's scandinavian and siberian Shamanism. It's symbolic for the circle of life. A new life beginns, the old goes, but the soul changes just the Body ... ;)
Great review of an amazing Group, I usually never watch these type videos, but your respectable review and insights regarding this track, along with your end comments, you are no "outsider" my friend, this group Is making great changes, thanks for your honesty, New sub here, Have a great day!
Greatly appreciated, am still a novice when it comes to this genre of music, but I agree it’s something special, thanks again for the support, go check out their CZcams channel link in the description 😊
When there was a birth during an eclipse, back then.....it was a sign that, that newborn would have magical powers. That was their beliefs. Thus ...bringing the bird back to life.
Funny as nobody seems to notice that Anoanna's birth happens during a solar eclipse and she decides to return to pure animal status right after another solar eclipse...
As for Heilung, check Norupo out. Maria Franz is an amazing singer that has two more acts. Check it out.
This is actually my favorite reaction of this song.
These are my origins 💫pure goose bumps
Heilung are practising pagans . One of them is a real shaman. I also saw an interview with them where Maria said Anoana's story isn't finished yet. There is more coming
Which one is the real shaman? I know it might be obvious but I jsut don’t wanna be ignorant 💀.
@@bradyfrey2941 it's the guy with the drum , long hair
When I pulled up the story of how our ancestors used to be able to heal using the energy around us, and I used that story to further reinforce what I was saying, I had no idea one of them was actually a shaman.
Not correct! Kai Uwe Faust is a shaman.
@@user-io7py4yi6p thank you for not being rude about it lol. I hope you have a good week🤘🏻
I think that the neclace she finds corrupts her in the end.. the voices " the male voice" is the " evil" whispers from the neclace
Yeah that a good interpretation 👌thanks for watching
Seriously... one of the BEST music videos ever made! Love every aspect of it!
Cool. I think the music speaks to a part of all of us that connects us to our ancestors. All of our ancestors from all around the world. We all have a beautiful tribal ancestor connection that connects us to the Earth and to each other.
The tattoos on lady who was delivering the baby in the woods in the hut are Māori traditional tattoos.
good reaction video. well done. And an interesting interpretation.
Mine is quite similar: In my eyes it's about birth and death / the "circle of life"
btw: I was pleasantly surprised to see my hometown Heidelberg at 1:28
Thank you 😊, yes there so many different perspectives to look at this from but I like our 😅, ohh really that’s crazy! A very beautiful place I see.
She is/was a druid *a real one* Those beings a super sensitive to the environment around them and can tell when something is wrong.
💪🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥 thank you for reacting to the band that literally saved my life 😌 hell yeah bro
This is way further back than Medieval its age of the Goddess earth Mother and Nature primal spirituality in its purest form from the North Steps. Nows the time to paint our bodies with earth mud and pay homage to mother earth we need to start respecting Nature because she is not happy with whats happening to her right now with all the wars and destruction and pollution .
This one is more of a Bronze age work. Older than the Vikings.
Yes 🙌 and it’s interesting to witness
the norse countries that went on viking raids were very wary of upsetting the finish folks as they had very powerfull magik, they were the last norse to be converted to christainaty ,,parts of tribes still held to old beliefs upto today, the sarmi are one of a handfull of tribes that still use the old beliefs with russian mountain tribes as well ,there was documents in denmark ,sweden norway iceland showing still practiced the old norse beliefs as it was illegal to practice these beliefs
Great reaction, you really let yourself be absorbed. Can I just add some points that are important in seeing this? The most important being that the child is born under an eclipse (seen in background several times). According to previking believs they had very special gifts: hamnskifte (= the ability to change appearance), age shift, talking to animals, healing (of the bird) etc The previking time and it's religion in nordic countries is much more female directed than the religion in the later years (viking gods like Tor and Oden... ). Also healing = heilung in the german name of the band. They sing in a reconstructed version of the previking proto norse language....(and the runes at the endjust spell out ANOANA)
I saw your eye brows go up when she scrapes the earth with her foot.
I’ve watched your reaction to this a few times
This song ….this is powerful
this song was based on a coin. they made a interview for it. I feel it though.
There's no direct translation for this, the words come from ceremonial coins or discs forged from gold given by the roman empire as a tribute to the germanic tribes so they wouldn't cross the Rhine and invade. (see the tv show Barbarians about how the germans defeated roman invaders). The albumn is supposed to be a story of of Anoana - the warrior of the land, and I can't wait to hear it.
Awesome commentary Jay,
It's up to the individual how deep you want to absorb yourself into this track. Easily absorbed I think.
Very true man thanks for checking out my video and keep safe.
She actually did some song for the show Vikings, that’s funny
You said it well mate
Fantastic video ! - this is before " viking " age - this in Nerthus and Frøya/ Freyas time- the conection to the eart and sky - not the war time like the " viking "age. And we have to lift ut the feminine so it will be balanced to the masculine - if not we destroi Mother earth. When she aliens with the " beast" its a Moskus - and you find them on Dovrefjell ( mountain in the scenter of Norway.
Der Norden vergißt nie! Du weißt NICHTS, John Schnee! Moin aus Schleswig-Holstein.

It's always fun seeing new peeps learning of Heilung n such. I fell in love with them when I listened to their music for Hellblade:Senua's sacrifice. If anyone hasn't played the game, I can not recommend it enough. A sequel is coming out 2024!
This calls back to a time when Animism was the religion, before gods were a thing. Around 100,000 bce.
Beautiful muskox at the end :)
There is only 1 human in the video. First half girl and woman wear white. 2nd half, both wear brown. First half, girl gets distracted by coin or medallion on the ground and picks it up. Wraps her hand around it "acceptance" "carried the weight". The bird represents enlightenment. She died, only in the revelation of death did she embrace the weight of the distraction from an early age. The bird flies, you see a babe in swaddling cloth, then a new girl in brown, who does not fall to the same distraction but instead, woman in brown, charges boldly to face her obstacles no matter how great the perception of that obstacle may be. The scene fades to black for the viewer to decide. The woman is victorious by virtue of her enlightenment and decision to do so by moving forward.
Every human makes bad decisions. You either allow them to corrupt you and drag you down in failure. Or you accept it, take ownership of it, learn from it, and obligate yourself not to repeat it thereby gaining victory over your inner obstacles....or demons as some may call them. But I'm not preaching from on high. As every living human knows, it's easier said than done.
I see the video as a representation of life's cycles the spiral is a symbol of life's connectedness to all things and it's endlessness we don't die we just recycle. The circle represents life's connection to all things the spiral life's endless connection to all things. We are born so another can die we die so another can be born and each life is connected to other lives that to are born and will die and so on endlessly
My feeling about this music video was like birth, death and connectedness with our mothers and mother nature and life energy
Humanities role as mediary between the natural and the supernatural worlds and acknowledgement of the struggle between life and death as a fated acceptance of natural order and the continuity of the duality of fragility and resilience of life itself
Marc Whittle , that was beautifully put together, I appreciate your time.
@@JayRuller_ I spent many years living and working with Indigenous peoples of the northern Amazon and I spent much time with Shamans. The iconography displayed in this video cuts across many cultural levels
Love that you know some Nordic lore. Few and far between
The translation for this one is still up in the air. This was taken from bracteates during the Roman era. The coins were given to the Germanic times as a "peace" offering. This is probably the oldest language I have heard them quote.
this is great ! i am so proud of my heritage you know ! I have a suggestion for you to react to Wardruna feat. Aurora in the song HELVEGEN. it is soooo hauntingly beautiful. just sayin. Have a nice day !
I will check it out 😊
@@JayRuller_ I scrolled down the messages you have here, and i saw another member also suggested the same. :) thanks for reply, Jay.
Check out “Traust” by Heilung.
From their own BTS on this video, the lyrics come from coins found in roman times and most of the words still have no translation to this day, in fact, they mostly chose parts that were unable to be translated.
Scandinavia is asking for a new saint or hero like figure to come forth.
Anoana is a powerful shaman.
I appreciate how you did not crank up the volume of your voice, so we can enjoy the music at a decent volume without going deaf as soon as the one reacting starts talking.
Edit: No one really knows what the words really mean. The chantings are based on words found on amulets dating between the 6th and 7th century. They may have been incantations/spells of sorts for safe travels for instance.
The new video for 'Anoana' describes the combo with the following words: "In 'Anoana' the listener has the chance to delve into a collection of presumably encoded spells from the migration period and to experience a touch of magic from the Middle Ages. The goal of this Part of it is a playful revisit of a summoning language from a time when the North had more gold than any other region.Our ancestors probably enjoyed a time of great prosperity, and maybe that makes us think again about how dark those times really are were."
Thank you, I was wondering what it meant plus the struggle was real trying to pronounce it lol.
You must hear Gwydion by FAUN
Hi there, i'd like to add something. You seem to enjoy Heilung quite a bit.
You should also try out Marias band Euzen, where she sings in a clean voice.
And there was a band before Heilung called Valravn.
As a suggestion:
Valravn - Seersken
Euzen - Metamorph
Would love to see Valravn's Anna Katrin and Maria singing together in Heilung again.
And an other Edit.. You should check out a Band called Omnia as well
In this day and age where portions of society are very anti-white and claim "white people have no culture"....it's really nice to see open minded people such as yourself reacting to the celtic/viking/Germanic ancestral history. I think the show "Vikings" does a great job in breathing new life and appreciation into this particular part of history. Just to be clear, being proud of your ancestry and where you come from isn't wrong in ANY way....no matter what color your skin is. It's when people claim to be superior that a problem arises, or when people disrespect and belittle others for their unique ancestral heritage.
Heilung is iron age (500bc) and is before the viking age (950-1200 ad)
But still the german(vikings) closed the borders for the roman Empire so they never reached germany and Scandinavia
One of the FEW (atm, the only one) who got (my opinion) the hidden meaning of the video. Nature,birth,death, the double nature within human being etc. BUT if this COULD be the hidden meaning, I guess that the "plot" of the story in this video is more about Magic. You see, the birth under "their" magical action, the connection between the "witch" and Anoana, the eclipse that is at birth time and during the last "sabba", etc. Anyway, good guessings Jay.
Yes thanks you, I wasn't way off but theres no much going on, well reading your comment I didnt completely miss the mark.
You get this on a archetypal, subconscious level. There's probably more to you my man. You should explore it.
Isn't it quite strange people believe a certain someone could resurrect people and resurrect himself only because it's something teached and accepted for centuries but when something like that is shown in another context they call it bs or are upset? lol. by the way resurrection does exist in other cultures and beliefs more ancient than christianity.
🤝🇩🇪🤝🙏👏👏👏👏
Watch the LIFA concert.
You should listen to Wardruna
I agree with your interpretation! The last part of the woman and the animal charging towards each other kinda signifies humans as a whole having a superiority complex against nature when we are in fact a natural part of it. When she was younger, she seemed to be more connected with nature and free spirited but as she matured, she lost her innocence and connection because she tried to fight against her being as a natural part of nature.
The biggest issue I have with my family and specially my very christian mom is that she believes everything I listen to is somewhat satanic, even when I've tried to explain to her a billion times that's not the case but now I just gave up
Tell your mother that Christianity is the mixing of Paganism and Roman Catholicism. Every Christian holiday is actually based on Pagan holiday or practice even Christmas. Instead of trying to conquer the pagan tribes of the north the British Empire started adapting pagan holidays and rituals into Christianity as to transition the Pagan tribes and absorb them into society without anymore wars and violence. Eventual over time it worked and pure Paganism was phased out and replaced by modern Christianity. Basically if you are a modern day Christian you are more of a Pagan than you think.
My interpretation of this is it depicts the three stages of womanhood: the maid, mother & crone. Not that I would call Maria Franz a crone. I think Portia Davenport's comment below is a much better interpretation - thank you. The video is just visuals for our own reflections based on what we know that has become an expected modern musical tradition. Personally I feel Heilung is best when you deny the visual aspect completely - close your eyes and open your self.
pls react to Tenet by Heilung
Should a dead bird be brought back to life? Would you have had a different answer when you were a young child?
Here just a small vid of an interview about this song and the upcoming album:

That's been rectified thanks a lot 😃
given the horns i would say one should not take the girl/woman and her actions as literally depiction of a given human being... the pictures as the song is a metaphore... a hymn to the cycle of life and death .. the love that keeps it in motion and connects all life on earth.. beyond any bounderies of species... at least that is my take on it... it is very spiritual in every way.. i know few.. no matter what religion or even no religion who did not find it fascinating and entrancing
I like you point of view, very interesting perspective.
I think this song is about territory. When the child sees a moose in the woods, she salutes them, asking their permission to stay in the area because it's their territory. At the end when she has grown up, she was in age to claim her own territory and that's what she did in the end, in the way that horned beasts do, a challenge by showing who is the strongest.
Yes that make more sense honestly 😊 thank for sharing your thoughts 💭
@@JayRuller_ And I think the reason because we don't see what happens with the ox beef, it's because it's not important. It's not important to be the strongest, but to do what you have to do, no matter the cost. It's the true meaning of life : you fight and you have a chance to win your freedom, you don't fight and you'll have to ask permission (to be a slave) all your life.
I was not far at all. czcams.com/video/Xw1ejH5EP4o/video.html
Well spoken my friend.
What's your thoughts ?
Not birth. Life
Unfortunately old norse is a lost language. Closest I think would be icelandic
Throwing this out there...... you need to turn down the gain or sit farther away from mic. It's annoying hearing you breath so loud and the lip smacking we hear when you talk. No hate but it might help you keep/gain subs.
