AnsuR is the god-rune primarily associated with Ódinn in proto Oldnorse lore: he is the ultimate rune master of the norse pantheon. In elder futhark inscriptions rune-masters often took on his mystic names when carving magic runic staves themselves. The song AnsuR actually starts with powerful and authentic runic inscriptions carved on bone amulets by such high status rune masters (apparently called by the title 'ErilaR', taken from a Scandinavian tribe -the Herulii-. The Herulii started using the runes from a very early period on). The song opens with the Lindholm inscription (not added to ther lyrics of the cd booklet) 'Ek/ErilaR/SawilagaR/Hateka' followed by 'Ek/Wiwar/Fahida/UngandiR' ('I the runemaster am called Sawilagar' & 'I the Weaver color/hallow the runes -'Un GandiR': 'against evil magic/evil forces'. Then follows 'Gibu auja': ('I) give good fortune'. Wardruna then actually evokes the Alfather himself: 'Withur/ wijan': 'Óðinn hallowed'. 'Víðr' (= a welknown Óðinns name: 'He who hallows' or 'He who knows'). And finally: 'AnsuR wija': Possibly: 'Sacred (rune) AnsuR'. From that point the lyrics from the booklet (now in Oldnorse) are sung. The line 'Valhallar Vísir' also is a classical Óðinns name (heiti) 'Wise One of Valhǫl'. All in all a very powerful Gáldr, one of Wardruna's most intense songs! To all who enjoy Wardruna's songs and messages: 'heill sá er kvað/ heill sá er kann/ njóti sá er nam/ heilir þeirs hlýddu! (last lines Hávamal)

i so need to move from Denmark to Iceland. back to my roots, i see why you all left. being here drains my spirit of old i never felt better then when i was a warrior in trining with ulfhednir

I have been so sore from work and my old injuries prevented me from moving and I put the sounds of wardruna and immediately my spirit and body moved in motions like I had no pain at all
Thanks a lot, Ulfhednar Brother in mind and tradition! Imaging the Walknut while "rauning the Rune" to the music - the power of experience will rising - but be warned: Reki and Freki are real entitys in this realm; weakness of the Will might be deadly
The beginning of AnsuR is conducted in Proto-Norse. The words signify the origins of the runes in their most primal fashion. Therefore, the opening ‘call’ known as the “Galdr” serve as an opening. The galdr serves as a means to open proverbial doors or bring to people's attention that an invocation is about to happen. The segment of the introduction where all members of Wardruna participate is called the “galandi” which is a sequence of six words and sixteen syllables.
yes and no, there are actually 3 main branches, the 2 you emntioned and the anglo saxon. but each of those stems from the ancient germanic runes and branches off in many varieties..i just wanted to clarify for readers who may thing the protonorse runes are the oldest.
oh i see. well thanks dude, might even have had viking ancestors myself, no matter i live in finland but our ancestors came from swe/norway or some nordic contry
The galandi has been transcribed in red runes, appearing in the video “Wardruna - Yggdrasil Preview Part 2”. I can transliterate those runes, but translating them into English, I fear, would downplay their significance. The runes are plain to see, and one can hear them uttered in the song: “gibu auja, gibu auja withuh wijan ansur wija.” -Source, Lars Magnar Enoksen
as example, most cities BANNED berserkers from entering. People who lived to die in battle (most warriors actually fought to make a living not to die) meant trouble, picked fights, had short tempers etc. They were outcasts and even inside a warband, most ppl did not want to have any business with them. they were creepy. And while time has changed, the human functions the same as ever, meaning, most ppl want to live their life without having to worry about someone killing you
"The 16-sign Futhark of the Vikings, which dates from AD c. 350, had been condensed from much more extensive Hallristningar or 'Rune Hoard', which was used from the Bronze Age onwards for the purposes of occult divination." Source, Davies 'Europe a History' p.226
you are welcome. Anyway i should add, that Odin was by faaar lessm important than ppl think. Actually he didnt even make it in the top 10 of most worshipped gods. He is a god of war and death and unlike the preconseptions, most vikings did not want that. he was a god of the nobility, a god of the mages and a god of the crazy guys (berserkers) for the average farmer / trader / worker he was dangerous. He made men into heroes by putting them in hardships and made them suffer
I suggest you shall read the best book out there about the different Germanic warrior styles as, berserks, wolf-warriors, club-wielders, long-hairs, ghost warriors and horse-stabbers. Ancient Germanic Warriors: Warrior Styles from Trajan's Column to Icelandic Sagas.
Yuritower77 Yes they use authentic instruments. But, these instruments that are authentic were not in Scandinavia at the time. In example the mouth harp, amongst many things.
The Jew’s Harp or Jaw’s Harp is a cross between an aerophone and a percussion instrument which is placed against the mouth and plucked such that different notes are produced by changing the shape of the mouth. By the Middle Ages it was in wide use across Europe and Scandinavia and was known by many names: mundharpe “mouth harp” (Denmark) munnharpa, munnspill (Norway, Iceland) mungiga “mouth fiddle” (Sweden) munniharppu, turpajurra, huuliharppu “lip harp”, märistysrauta “trembling iron”, mörinärauta “roaring iron”, huulipeli “lip-instrument”, suupeli “mouth-instrument”, Taaventin harppu “David’s harp”, juutalaisharppu “jew’s harp” (Finland)[33]
i agree on protonorse (i am learning it) but the origins of the runes would be in proto german, which is roughly 2000 years older than protonorse and the language the first know runecarvings appeared in. The germanic tribes settled from austria to south to the river rhine in the west, eastern poland to the east and scandinavia, later also in france and england.. the vikings are basicly "northgermans" who kept their culture roughly 800 years longer than the not scandinavian tribes
Jim Mc Fly Don't pity him. for he is fighting with Midgård's fallen warriors by day. And feasting with the Gods, in the great halls of Valhalla by night.
Okay, I would like to explain a bit further by what I meant by "origins" and Proto-Norse. You ought to know that the two families of runes: Germanic and Norse have different origins, although they come from the same tree, they branch off during the migration period.
Ek ErilaR SawilagaR Hateka Ek Wiwar Fahida UngandiR Gibu auja Gibu auja Withur wijan AnsuR wija Áslid'ar alle Valhallar visir Magn i rotum vinda skal Magn i rotum vefa skal
like in most cultures death, so they were the holy animals of the god of death which is Odin. But because "Odhinn" is a god of many things, the ravens also stand for wisdom, magick, bravery, sacrifice and to a degree male potence. However as 2 of them are Odins messengers ravens were also seen as a sign of good/bad luck as Odin is watching you, which was what most ppl did NOT want back then as Odin meant trouble, lots of.
Also, I did not really state any of the things I posted my self. I got the words straight from the horses' mouth. I addressed these issues with Wardruna themselves. I completely understand where you're coming from, but you don't need to worry about editing my words simply for semantic reasons.
Okay, I can guess what they are by ear... but I am trying to confirm an official transcription/translation right now. It may take a while for me to hear back, so please be patient.
If you are interested to read about the different warriror styles of germanic people I suggest you shall read the best book I have read. Ancient Germanic Warriors: Warrior Styles from Trajan's Column to Icelandic Sagas.
"vikings" were criminal outcasts of norse society. And they didnt just plunder other nations, they also pillaged norse settlements. Norse culture was rough but people tried to avoid war and promoted peace, after all only very few wanted to enter valhalla as glorius heroes, most wanted to actually life a happy peaceful life and continue that lifestyle in bilskinir (home of thor) Most norse ppl were traders, farmers, craftsmen and fishers who did not fight if possible
hello, can anybody please tell me where Ragnar went after Paris defeat for so many years? I though he went to china...but no signs or materials :( Help

yes and no, there are actually 3 main branches, the 2 you emntioned and the anglo saxon. but each of those stems from the ancient germanic runes and branches off in many varieties..i just wanted to clarify for readers who may thing the protonorse runes are the oldest.
Thank you for sharing this information! (or thank him)

i get high once i hear Wardruna music. its like these bineral beats for astral projection and obe's.
Im sure Berserkers used to listen to such music when they ate mushrooms
Yeah I'm sure the Vikings had all these instruments LMFAO
Are you trolling? Because Wardruna does use authentic instruments. Obviously the sampling is modern but the core instruments are the real deal.
Yuritower77
Yes they use authentic instruments. But, these instruments that are authentic were not in Scandinavia at the time. In example the mouth harp, amongst many things.

Does anyone have the lyrics?

I wander if they got the inspiration for the music in Asend from this kind of music

yeea i see the point like viking raids u become great warrior without getting a scratch but in homeland example family suffered. thats the thing?
Hail to Odin the allfather

in this song the instrument is a violin arent it? want to play this on it
I would rather say its a lyra or a strängharpa. Violins didnt exist during The Viking age.
what did the crows symbolize in viking time? anyone?
Thought & Memory, though usually expressed as Ravens. They inform the All Father of the events of the worlds.
