An Daghdha

Eir, derived from the Old Norse words for “help,” “mercy,” or “protection,” is one of the major Goddesses of the Æsir. She is the Goddess of healing, a handmaid of Frigg, and one of the Valkyries of Odin. While her battle-sisters picked out the worthy warriors to become part of the Einherjar, Eir sought out those warriors to heal them back to life. She is associated with the sacred hill named Lyfjaberg. It is believed that she offers healing and restoration to those who seek her aid on this sacred hill.

Senémā is a dark ambient collaboration between Gealdýr and Vígundr. The word Senémā, from reconstructed Proto-Indo-European, evokes more than just age. It embodies the primordial presence, the Elder Earth, the witness of cycles long before memory. She is not just ancient. She remembers when the stars were born. She is the first silence, the root beneath the forest, the stillness before song. She is our origin. So let us remember.

Lyrics (Old Norse)

Sá hon Valkyrjur vítt of komnar 
Görvar at ríða til goðþjóðar
Skuld helt skildi en Skögul önnur 
Gunnr, Hildr, Göndul ok Geirskögul 
Nú eru talðar nönnur Herjans 
Görvar at ríða grund Valkyrjur

x4
Görvar at ríða 
Görvar at ríða 
Valkyrjur

x4
Sá hon vítt ok of vítt of veröld hverja

-

On all sides I saw Valkyries assemble 
Ready to ride to the ranks of the gods 
Skuld bore the shield and Skogul rode next 
Gunnr, Hildr, Gondul and Geirskogul
For they are named Herjan's maidens 
Valkyries ready to ride over the earth

x4
Ready to ride 
Ready to ride 
Valkyries

x4
Widely I saw over all the worlds

Valkyrjur

The song “Kauna’’ is based on the 6th rune of the Elder Futhark. Kauna, Kaunan, Kaun or Kenaz stands for the K sound. This rune can have multiple meanings. Kaun in Old Norse means wound or ulcer. It is also known as Kenaz (meaning torch) based on its Anglo-Saxon name. The deeper meaning of this rune symbolises warmth, enlightening and knowledge. Associated with ritual fires when celebrating the winter and summer solstice. Kauna, the great purifier, the torch and the wildfire, burns away the decay in the heart. The ulcer burns the body in sickness and Fire cleanses the soul, and lights the way.
