The existence of the “nine worlds” is mentioned in passing in a poem in the Poetic Edda.
The nine worlds are believed to be:
Midgard, the world of humanity
Asgard, the world of the Aesir tribe of gods and goddesses
Vanaheim, the world of the Vanir tribe of gods and goddesses
Jotunheim, the world of the giants
Niflheim, the primordial world of ice
Muspelheim, the primordial world of fire
Alfheim, the world of the elves
Nidavellir/Svartalfheim, the world of the dwarves
Hel, the world of the eponymous goddess Hel and the dead
lyrics
Lyrics (Old Norse):
níu man ek heima, níu íviði, mjötvið mœran fyr mold neðan.
jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn,
gap var ginnunga,
níu man ek heima, níu íviði, mjötvið mœran fyr mold neðan.
Lyrics (English translation):
Nine worlds I knew, | the nine in the tree. With mighty roots | beneath the mold.
Earth had not been, | nor heaven above,
But a yawning gap
Nine worlds I knew, | the nine in the tree. With mighty roots | beneath the mold.
It is different than previous releases, nonetheless it is astonishing and beautiful homage to nature. One reproach, like both previous albums this one too flown by so quickly. Do yourself a favor and listen to this music in forest you like to visit. Hedensk Hjerte
Deep Dark Germanic Folk. Such in love with your work. Perfect feeling for moving through Landscapes or for Dancing. Feeling the ancestors, pray with them and stay in ecstatic states.
Love dark atmosphere surrounded with hopeful melodies. Through the dark comes Light. Never forget the Balance of both.
Love you All Krishnasøn
Recalling the same gothic wonder as early Dead Can Dance, the latest from Ariana Saraha is a drift through an enchanted dreamworld. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 27, 2022
This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO.
The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me. Rabbit
