Ethereal/Nordic Folk from Eikelandsosen, Norway
Side project of Eliwagar
- Songs from the heart of nature, inspiration from the
depth of the soul -
Runahild is a nature soul whose love for nature gives
birth to her artistic expression through music and
photography. She lives of the land on an organic
mountain farm in Western Norway, following the rythm of
the northern seasons.
The heathen spirituality and folklore has been a great
part of her life since her teenagerhood since the
essence of it made her feel wholeheartedly home. It has
been a main source of inspiration behind her project
Eliwagar which she has been composing for since
december 2006 and is still a strong influence with her
side project as Runahild.
While Eliwagar was often about dreaming herself away to
a long forgotten past, to the mystical land of
Hyperborea, Runahild's project takes deeper roots into
spiritual experiences from this lifetime.
Her compositions takes partly inspiration from drum
circles she is being a part of from time to time where
she experiences how everyone can harmonize to one an
other in a very natural and deeply beautiful way. The
voices being woven together on drum rythms transcend
the soul with a pure feeling of extase, allowing the
energies to flow freely and create visions for the soul
to wander through.
Some songs and elements of Runahild's work are based on
improvised recordings to try to recreate the atmosphere
from drum circles when it is all about letting the
energies of the moment guide the artistic work. She
gives more importance to the expression of energies
than to the method of recording/mixing, so the final
soundscape may remain rough and natural.
Runahild's sounds and lyrics are an attempt to compose
a landscape that has been drawn before her eyes and
soul...
Runahild's first side project album Seidgaldr (seid=old
Norse type of sorcery, galdr=incantations/spell) takes
partly inspiration from different drum circles she has
been a part of at several occasions - celebration of
the seasons, drum journey, etc - where she experienced
how everyone can instantly harmonize to one an other in
a very natural and deeply beautiful way. The voices
being woven together on drum rythms transcending the
soul with a pure feeling of extase, allowing the
energies to flow freely within the self, painting
landscapes to travel through.
Some songs or elements on Seidgaldr are based on
improvised recordings as an attempt to recreate the
atmosphere from a drum circle when it is all about
letting the energies of the moment guide the artistic
work.
The main theme of this album can be described as a
journey to the subconscious or to the underworld, to
wander through our darkness and shadows to nurture our
inner self, to create light from our wounds and to grow
higher as we reach deeper.

English translation of lyrics for selected songs
(original lyrics avalaible in id3 tags)
02 - Seidgaldr
In the heart of the yew tree,
The Seidkona (1) sleeps deeply
An ancient sorrow haunts
Her darkest dreams
The bark is being drawned on her skin
She becomes one with life and death
Her hair becomes the branches
Blown in the wind and the hail storm
And from her closed eyes,
She cries golden tears
like sap along the trunk of the tree
From her wounded soul
From the surrounding shadows
Come her vardlokkur (2)
They encircle the yew tree
Bring light in the darkness
Drumming her in a journey
To the well fate by the old roots
She (the seidkona) spins the dark clouds
Clear up the northern sky
Open the way to the stars
Revive the sunwheel fire
Awake her energy to life
(1): Seidkona "Seid-woman": female practitioner of
seidr which is an old form of Norse sorcery.
(2): Vardlokkur "caller of spirits": A seidkona, or
volve, had helpers who would sing to get her into
trance and allow her to travel through the other worlds
with the protection of the good spirits called upon.
Note: this is my personal interpretation.
04 - Hostmanen
Rest on mother earth by the old linden tree
Under the autumn moon, heal your soul
Heal your scars with light
Heal your heart with life
All that dies falls down in the darkness
To seed new seeds within you
Feel your inner sun for life to sprout
Taking roots in the peaceful earth
