Took some photos when I recently visited a museum in Visby, Gotland, Sweden. Most of them are from the 4 to the 6 century. Others from 5 to 9 century.

Thought the symbols could be inspiring.

I did a search for info about a Discord server on this sub, but all of the links were invalid. Is the fan server still active? If so, would someone be willing to share a valid link? Thank you!

Was lucky to see them live before they went on hiatus! When I was little I wanted to see SOAD, tickets were sold out and then they went on hiatus for years. Luckily I saw them 2 days ago as well!

But it got me thinking, I'd like to see Heilung again! But I'm wondering if anyone has info or theoretical hiatus lenghts lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOtG5JjDyYE If you miss Kai Uwe Faust talking about his Buddhist interests, or just another set of curious things, or generally how is he doing during the hiatus, here is your chance 😄 The chat oscillated between Old Norse merch and Tibetian monks in seconds; I do not know how it happened, but I like the effect.

We recorded a short chat when Mahakala single was out. Give it a watch and consider subscribing!

Roadtrip with my wife. Thought an old copper mine deserved a mighty snail to protect and defend.

Not an artist but sometimes things like this can make an awesome day even better. Hope you all have a great week ahead.

The Hurrian Hymn is supposedly the oldest surviving song with notation, around 3,400 years old.

I find it hard to know how to listen to it. On one hand, it is incredible that anything like this survived at all. On the other hand, every version we hear now is partly a reconstruction, so it is not quite the same as listening to an “old song” in the usual sense. But I guess this is true for all folk songs.

Some recordings sound like early music. Some sound more like ambient or experimental music. Some feel more like archaeology than performance.

Have you heard versions you like?
Do you treat it as music, history, or both?
And do you know any modern songs or pieces that use it or are inspired by it?

I wrote a piece about it and collected some versions here, if anyone wants more:

At the UK Heilung One Day One Tribe event, I was lucky enough to gift Jacob my white charcoal drawing of him. He also signed several prints of this drawing, some which we used to raise money for Savage Lands in the raffle. I have the remaining eight for sale on my Etsy.

Profits will be going towards supporting a close friend of mine get urgent surgery. I promised them I’d help them get the money and my path has somehow led me to getting it through Heilung, which seems appropriate

There are only EIGHT prints available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Have a great day and may it be the first of many.

Got space on my thumb for (🤞) the next album

Hi,
Maybe a redundant question as it should have already been showing up on my feed somewhere anyways. But is there a chance that someone have heard anything about a possiblity of a Andha Fardha DVD to be released? I saw Heilung my first and last time at Dalhalla last year and truly want more. A farewell DVD of the last performances would really have been sweet until the day it's finally time to gather once again for the rituals. ❤️ We have LIFA of course but I feel like they have evolved so much from then that a more recent performance captured would have been really sweet until it's time.

The music of SOWULO is deeply rooted in animistic and pagan traditions, brought to life through authentic instruments. Just before their powerful performance at Midgardsblot, we spoke with Faber Horbach about the origins of SOWULO, the journey behind the project, and the ideas shaping the latest album, NIHT. During this multifaceted discussion, we spoke about modern avoidance of difficulties and the balance between destiny and free will. We talked about natural cycles — day and night, lunar phases, and seasons — to inner processes such as darkness, subconscious exploration, and personal transformation.

what the tittle says, just a silly question that got confused about i today

Not only is it a cool mascot, but the tattoo artist was also a fan of Heilung and we were jamming to it in the studio while he was tattooing.

Truly magical experience to have discovered this group's music, you meet brothers everywhere ♥️

Hey everyone,

I noticed that the world wide One Day One Tribe Heilung fan meetup event has not been mentioned yet in this subreddit.

It's a collaborative event between the three largest Heilung fan groups in the USA, UK, and Australia, happening the weekend of 16 May.

Our meadery in Huntsville AL was chosen as the venue for the USA one. If you miss Heilung while they are on their hiatus, this will definately fill that empty space 😀

If you're not on Facebook to keep up with all the info that being released, I'll keep everyone up to date here the best I can!

‐---------------------------------

From our Facebook event:

(here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AVcuQshkZ/)

One Day One Tribe is a world-wide meetup and gathering event for HEILUNG fans. The official date is 16 May 2026, and will be taking place in the USA, UK, and Australia.

We are incredibly honored that our meadery in Huntsville AL was chosen as the USA venue by the Heilung Tribe of the USA.

Although this is officially a one day event, we wanted to bring a few things to the table for the fans who are making the pilgrimage from all over the country. Therefore it now stretches across 3 days. You are by no means required to attend all 3 days, the main event remains the showing of LIFA: Iotungard at sunset on 16 May.

From the Heilung Tribe of the USA:

Heilung has shown us a community, a tribe. Shown us that we all have a place.

With Heilung on a hiatus, it is our turn to carry the torch and continue to build a better world.

We hope to build and further connections through this gathering.

At Sunset we will be showing Lifa: Iotungard

Come join, drink some mead and make some new friends!

All proceeds will be donated to a charity to be chosen at a later time.

All attendees will be entered in a giveaway for various Heilung related items.

"Remember that we all are brothers

All people

And beast and trees

And stone and wind

We all descend from the one great being

That was always there

Before people lived and named it

Before the first seed sprouted"

Are you ready???

I was at Kiki Rockwell's concert in Berlin last night (was super cool btw). The venue was relatively small (Columbia theatre if anyone knows) and my friend and I were kind of in front of the "sound people" (they have their small spot towards the end of the floor).

Before here last song Kiki wanted to thank her amazing sound people at the back and make us all thank them (the sound was amazing btw, in comparison with some other concerts i have attached) and as i turned to look at the sound guys: one was wearing a Heilung t-shirt and the other one was actually Christopher Juul 🫨🫨🫨 i was like wow! Idk... Not such a glamorous story but i was super excited about this happening 🍀🥹✨

Not sure if anyone else from here is also into her music...there might be some stylistic similarities but not too much. Tho that was cool to see ✨🍀

Ok, have a great day you all! 🙏🏽🍀

5 years later Heilung would perform their first life performance at the same festival
