Varmär Rabotsala ("Calling the Fox") it's the first track of the upcoming Single "Rabotsja Völun" ("Trickster Fox").
Not all foxes are tricksters, and not all tricksters are foxes. This album is dedicated to a velnoijdí ("shaman") who, upon departure from the upper world, decided to take the form of one of the animals one of its spirits experienced in the Silent Sleep: the Fox.
The velnoijdí kept leading its former human community through the narrow paths in the mountains, and through the tall grass of many meadows, and through the deepest forests. It led people into new lands so they could escape the world's destruction. Ultimately, it led people out of the world itself, beyond the arch of the sky vault.
Nothing of this was supposed to have happened. Yet, these people were transformed. Not by the departure of their physical shape, but by becoming a different kind of spirits. They were both alive, and yet not alive. They have become mediators and tutelary spirits. They changed many things in the course of lives and in the cycles of the world. They created realities that had not been planned. They have opened up multiple possibilities for other spirits to exist and to thrive. Thus many velnoijdà ("shamans") call upon the first Trickster (sing. Völee ; plu. Völu) when a great change must happen; a change against all cycles.
