A song about the very ancient Norse Pagan Goddess 'Hel' (the daughter of the Norse Pagan God 'Loki') of the underworld in the cycle of nature.
In Ancient Norse mythology, Hel is the goddess who presides over the dead in nature.In the Poetic Edda, Prose Edda, and Heimskringla, Hel is referred to as a daughter of Loki. In the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, Hel is described as having been appointed by the god Odin as ruler of a realm of the same name, located in Niflheim.
These ancient European cultured Gods and Goddesses were later demonised in the Judeo religion, and their original meanings were lost and altered... but ancient wisdom can still be found if one looks into the natural beliefs of our most ancient ancestors.
Gaahl (a.k.a. 'the most feared man in Norway') is the vocalist of Wardruna and the black metal band Gorgoroth.
