At this time of year, the veil between worlds is said to be at its thinnest. As Wardruna took to the stage to excited applause. Anticipation was palpable as a hush descended. The Lur sounded, and a thousand years melted away within the auditorium. This heralded what would sear into my memory as one of the most awe-inspiring sets I have ever witnessed.
In another blog (sometimes feels like another life), I wrote about Living Gods. I mentioned that contemporary heathenry was poorer for having only one, canonical version of our myths, caged within letters on a page. I mentioned that heathenry would never thrive until new stories were told and the gods and heroes of the folk inspired new arts and artists.
Wardruna are just such artists that give me hope for the future of our faith.
