Freya Aswynn is one of the most renowned experts in the field of esoteric rune-lore of our time, being the author of “Leaves of Yggdrasil”/“Northern Mysteries and Magick,” a standard work on the subject which has been translated into several languages. On this CD, she presents — many years before Wardruna and similar artists — selected passages from the Icelandic Edda and shamanic rune chants as well as recited poetry by Friedrich Nietzsche and Aleister Crowley.
