Before the european and scandinavian tribes embraced Christianity, they lived in a world filled with spirits, giants, elves and uncountable other mystical creatures.
They experienced these beings as real and graspable as we today experience electricity, the internet and the phenomenon, that the earth cicles around the sun and not the other way around.
Just imagine, someone tries to convince you, that electricity doesn´t exist, because one can´t see it...
Our forefathers had no Hippie- everyone- loves- everyone- peace- and- harmony approach to the world.
Nature and its spirits could be hostile and dangerous, spiritual warfare was a common concept.
Christianity- apart from ending the bloodfeuds also provided a powerful tool to ban and bound the fear triggering beings, that lived in the shadows and the twilight...
Sometimes you open a door and there he still is, the master of the runes, first of all Seidhmen...
...when you set your foot in the paths, walked by men since a thousand years in twilight...
...suddently the rocks show their true face..
...and just because no one watches anymore, doesn´t mean, the Huldrefolk stopped dancing.
Why is it still important for so many people to nail animal skulls on their houses?
Do they more or less subconciously ask for protection or the death of their enemies as their forefathers did for thousands of years or is it just decoration?
And the witch, frozen to stone when kissed by the first beams of the raising sun, stands forever in the ice cold sea.
No one wants to forget her story...
