Product Description
Product Description
If you want to experience the power and beauty of the Norse tradition, rather than just read about it, you must have this CD! Freya Aswynn, Priestess of Odin and Rune Mistress, presents the history of runes in what can only be called a magical performance. Both powerful and moving, these chants are living, potent spells. Included on this extraordinary 40-minute CD is a unique adaptation of the Havamal, the ancient myth of the runes and how they were discovered by Odin.

I should preface this review by admitting that I am not a rune practitioner, or northern magic practitioner. Perhaps this explains my lack of extreme enthusiasm for the recording, not to say that it is bad. Ms. Aswynn's voice is very powerful, and the words to her chants are, in some cases, little short of hair-raising. However, the copy I have (came with the book, Northern Mysteries & Magick: Runes, Gods, and Feminine Powers) lacks any explanatory text to explain what is happening in the recording. Not only are there no liner notes to list the words (probably not needed, as Ms. Aswynn's Dutch-accented English is not hard to understand after a few hearings) but there is nothing to explain what the different tracks are, or what she is trying to accomplish. As a person in an early stage of studying Asatru as a belief system, I found the recording emotionally affecting, but not very informative.

These are recordings of chants written by a priestess of Odin, meant to recreate the trance-inducing chants of the Norse seers. Aswynn is an accomplished priestess, author, and practitioner of Asatru. Her recording is vibrant, powerful, and intensely moving. The only caveat is that the words to these chants are not included in the liner notes, so the listener is unable to sing the the chants in their own worship/meditative practices, though the recording surely makes for beautiful ritual music.

I am trying to learn and understand Rune writing, and this CD was to give me some understanding of the Runes. I found the pronunciation of the runic words helpful, but the ladies pronunciation and the heavy background music was slightly unhelpful.
