First Reaction ~ Heilung | Anoana 

Anoana is born during an eclipse, and she is an embodiment of the Land and a protector of all living in it. She has the power to heal as shown by her resurrecting the dead sparrow. At the end she joins with her sprit animal, the Musk ox.

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. Many if most of them written in a language or way that no longer exists so translations are often missing, Heilung simply used the ones that phonetically matched their idea of the song. This means that there doesn't exist a translation because the lyrics are not lyrics as such, they are more vocal sounds.

This song connects you to the something called soul, to something we can never completely understand. it brings you to a horizon you first cant describe it what you feel. But you try to reach it.

i think if you are interested into nordic artists there is no other way than to discover eivor. she is a classically trained sopran with a masters degree in traditional nordic vocal techniques from the faroer islands and her versatility is unbeaten. falling free live at the old theater in tórshavn is easily one of the best live performance of any artist i know. she also made music for the last kingdom tv series and the computer game god of war.

Beatifull song

RU-vid user @Nidels explained it best on another video: i: 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, fulfill 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, wonderful reaction. Grettings from northern Germany ❤

Hi-loong. Enjoyed your video. If this is your first foray into the world of pagan folk, you've entered a bigger and richer world than you might have ever imagined. Don't bother looking for lyrics. The band doesn't know what the words mean either. Suggest bands like Warduna, Faun, Grai, Otyken, Skald and my personal favorite Trobar de Morte. Look forward to more reactions.

You might enjoy the live version of Anoana, it's gorgeous.

You don't need lyrics because the Video speaks fit itself.

Great reaction! I saw them in Stuttgart Germany when I was traveling in parts of Europe. If you like this version, the "live" version is stunning (Heilung:LIFA - Llyn Dain). Same song, different vibe.

🤝🙏👍👏👏👏👏
