A Winter Incantation: Skaði's lullaby. Winter song about Skadi's Viking Norse Goddess and other Snow maiden of folklore and literature. (Snow Queen, The white witch, Snegurochka, Yuki Onna and more)

-------
A relaxing walk in the forest through a snow covered forest singing an original musical poem about the ethereal yet harsh beauty of Winter and Snow. Still cold is needed to bring seeds back to life. And Winter is the season. It is inspired also by the figure of the "Snowmaiden" that is so frequently found in fairytales and mythology. As a child I was impressed by tales like Japanese Yuki-Onna, Norse Goddess Skaði's (Skadi) or even the Snow Queen by Danish author Christian Andersen, and though both legends portray a cold hearted dangerous beauty I wanted to portray it in a more benevolent manner, because though Winter is often found harsh and cold, it also activates the seeds so they an regrow. Song full of mystery and hopefully will haunt you like the howling wind of a blizzard :)
In Russia the Snow Maiden is know as “Snegurochka” or “Sneg" (the world for snow ), mostly known for a XIX century fairy tale inspired in old traditional Slavic Goddesses, and often depicted with fair hair and blue eyes. She is the daughter of Father Frost and Mother Spring. She
sometimes appears as a blessing to childless couples as a daughter during Winter, but she would melt if falling in love so it's safer for her to roam alone. Something strange happened when I was writing this song, whenever I was working on it (just a magical coincidence) we had a lovely snowfall that allowed me to film this video.

Cold Winter is part of a mini-project called "As seasons flow" and it's meant to be the prequel of my song GROW than you can watch/listen here:

FEATURING HIRVI THE STAG AND FUFUNCHIS THE RATTIES:
In Norse mythology, stags or harts (male red deer) eat among the branches of the World Tree Yggdrasil.

COLD WINTER (THE SNOW MAIDEN INCANTATION)
Cold are the long nights in winter
Cold to the bone
now all is bare long time withered
'neath the dim gleam of a sun
that can't barely make a faint heartbeat
still in the ghost of the day
so down deep
life falls sleep
hidden and safe in its lair
And out in the roaring blizzard
a specter in white roams alone
Her frosty lips humming a song
words catching snow on her tongue
Her haunting wail feels like a shiver
her voice like a whispery moan
cold as the long nights in winter
cold, cold to the bone
Cold are the long nights in winter
cold, cold to the bone
Nothing but dead boughs and splinters
naked and covered in snow
And all is unstirring stillness
Nature is Wise and knows
So down deep
life falls sleep
waiting for warmth to regrow

Absolutely enchanting and unbelievably beautiful. The gorgeous video from the surrounding nature pales only to the hauntingly beautiful and spot on vocals of the lovely Priscilla Hernandez. Magnificent video. I'll watch it again as soon as I'm done here. ❄💜🌟

If snow could sing, this is EXACTLY what it would sound like: clear, crystalline, cold, soothing, hypnotic, and haunting. Priscilla has managed to channel the Spirit of Snow perfectly....and that's the mark of a true artist and shaman, that ability to be the medium through which the sacred enters us and our lives. Thank you for sharing your gifts, Priscilla! :)

Cannot begin to articulate how much I absolutely love the winter... by loving winter I mean I will get excited when there's a thick snow blanket and the temperature is -10C so I can go camping in it and hiking through the snow... it brings me a very special kind of joy

As you can imagine spring's thaw took some of that away, but watching this let me relive it if even for only a few minutes ;) <3

No words can describe feelings and only in deep feelings now I fly, I float and I swim, listening to this new masterpiece. This melody, this voice, this enchanted landscape... They are all a river that leads my soul to an ocean of deepest dreams no picture can reflect. In feelings I can feel free and wild like Prince Hirvi, listening to the enchanted chant of the Princess Of The Snows

This is mesmerizing. The minimal background to the vocals fits the winter theme brilliantly. Loved the vocals and footage as well.
