Vikings and Cats - Medievalists.net

Did the Vikings keep cats as pets? A recent study reveals that felines were much more part of Norse society than previously believed.

In an article published in Current Swedish Archaeology, Matthias Toplak presents a re-evaluation of the roles of domestic cats in Viking Age Scandinavia. He challenges traditional interpretations shaped by medieval mythology and shows how archaeological evidence provides a more nuanced perspective on the significance of cats in Viking society.

Heilung ~ Krigsgaldr

Heilung is sounds from the northern european iron age and viking period. We used everything from running water, human bones, reconstructed swords and shields up to ancient frame drums and bronze rings in the songs.
The lyrics contain original texts from rune stones and preserved spear shafts, amulets and other artifacts. Furthermore poems, which either deal with historical events or are translations/ interpretations of the originals.
Every attempt to link the music to modern political or religious points are pointless, since Heilung tries to connect the listener to the time before Christianity and its political offsprings raped and burned itself into the northern european mentality.
Heilung means healing in german and describes the core of the sound. It is supposed to leave the listener eased and relaxed after a sometimes turbulent musical journey.

Heilung is amplified history from early medieval northern Europe and should not be mistaken for a modern political or religious statement of any kind. Remember that we all are brothers All people, beasts, tree and stone and wind We all descend...
