The Runes of Wardruna – Lecture & Ritual

Come and experience Wardruna’s haunting music in a ritualistic setting, where their songs about Runes are played as part of a Heathen Norse-inspired ceremony.

Several pagan bands refer to their concerts as rituals nowadays, most notably Heilung. In this in-person event, scholar and Heathen practitioner Andre Henriques discusses some of the song lyrics about runes from Wardruna’s Runaljod album trilogy, and shows how these songs can be applied to a ritual celebration.
