A typical Sowulo song - which is a recommendation already. But as an addon Emilie Lorentzens voice adds a spheric spicing to this one. So give it a try, you'll like it. ;-)

about
Are you ready to be initiated by your inner darkness?
This song intentionally invokes our inner 'torch', so that we may see into our inner selves.
It will help us to gain control over our own fate so that we can create our own destiny. The song is based on the 'Gungnirs Gap' storytell-track from our GRIMA album, and tells the story about Odin hanging on the Yggdrasil for nine days.
This song is all about connecting with the power of the archetypical wisdom of the hanging man, and helps us to walk with it on the adventure we call the wheel of life.
Fæcele, 'torch' in Anglo-saxon, will be included on the GRIMA digipack edition.

LYRICS
Ic steor mīne agene wyrd
Ic pullie hiere rapas
runstæfas fyllen mīne deôp
ðeostru sīe mīne fæcelan
Tō libbanne þurfon we steorfan,
on mīnre heartan ðearf ic delfan
-----
I steer my own wyrd
I pull its cords
Let runes fill my void
May darkness be my torch
To live we must pass
In my own heart I must delve

It is different than previous releases, nonetheless it is astonishing and beautiful homage to nature. One reproach, like both previous albums this one too flown by so quickly. Do yourself a favor and listen to this music in forest you like to visit. Hedensk Hjerte
Music that has nothing to prove which has not already proved and nothing to expect when there is nothing to be expected and that is so liberating :) nakilep

I love to listen to this during work, it fills me with calmness and I can almost smell the scents of the forest.
Beautiful & serene from start to finish. SilverFolfy
