Freyja 05:25
English It is time to speak from the seat of the sage, Stanza 111 When she comes, the man will fear her, so powerful When she fights, the man will fear her, so quick When she kills, the man will fear her, as Ragnarök When she wins, the man will fear her, as they lose A head stuck on a pike no longer conspires With a hide hat, a sword, she lept from the ship to slay saxon man The clouds will blacken, so black, and so thick Völuspá 29. Selected her Herfather rings and gold, riches wisely, that she wisdom tell. Saw she far and wide in homes all. Old Norse Mal er at þylia þvlar stólí a vrþar brvnni at Hvenaer hon kemr, verr hræzla sinn, svá ríkr Hvenaer hon hreða, verr hræzla sinn, svá hraðr Hvenaer hon hlaða, verr hræzla sinn, ok Ragnarök Hvenaer hon vinna, verr hræzla sinn, ok þeir los Danish Et hoved fast på en gedde ikke længere konspirerer Old Norse Með húð hattr, ok sverð, hljóp hon fra skipinu til fella saxlenzkr hann Verða skýin svart, svá blakkr, ok svá þykkr Völuspá 29. Valði henni Herföðr hringa ok men, fekk spjöll spaklig ok spá ganda, sá hon vítt ok of vítt of veröld hverja.

þat var morgun þokufullr - þoka á leginum. Dýr reis ok hafði einn munnr. Leggir sínir, varu eins stórir ok einn tré. Haka sín ok hnakkr, var hulin með skegg ok beins. Klæddisk beinin sín sem gimsteinn. Löginn var blóði hvenær hann hafði lokit at drepa hverrgi. Sagan Ymir Völuspá 2. Ek man jötna ár of borna, þá er forðum mik fœdda höfðu; níu man ek heima, níu íviði, mjötvið mœran fyr mold neðan. It was a foggy morning - fog upon the sea. The beast rose and had a big mouth. His legs, were as thick as a tree. His chin and neck, was covered in beard and bones. Wearing bones as jewel. The sea was blood when he had finished killing every one. The Saga of Ymir Völuspá 2. I remember Jotnar early born, those who in old foster me have; nine homes I remember, nine wooded rooms, wise tree bright before ground below.

Herknungr is a project that explores ancient
culture but primarily norse aspects. It was
formed over a love of ambient music, ritual

The aim of Herknungr is to provide a very rich
sound in coherence to viking era culture. To set
an authentic sound of the ancient nordic zeigeist.
Using instruments of our forebears over 1000 years
ago. With a modern twist in production.
