Myling - Blåkulla

Описание: Ambient piece from MYLING's upcoming full length album 'Häxeri' (to be released during 2017).
The video was made for the, unfortunately, rather failure filled live performance of MYLING at Arosian Black Mass pt. II in Västerås, Sweden, 2012. Because of the misshapenings at this performance most of the videos for the background projection weren't shown at all. Here you get the opportunity to watch one of them!

Some of the other ones will be included on the upcoming DVD release through Scythe of Death Productions and Ætergap Productions. This exact one will most likely not be included though!

Blåkulla ('the blue hill' or 'the black hill') is the traditional Swedish name for the place where witches are believed to gather for feasts and orgies. Similar to the German place of Blocksberg/Brocken. In Swedish folklore the witches fly to Blåkulla on the Sheer Thursday to be in time for the gathering that is said to take place during the Good Friday, when they celebrate the death of Christ together with the Devil. However behind this obvious Christian side there probably lies a much older tradition of fertility rites in connection with the spring equinox. There are notes of ritual fertility gatherings of women up on hills/mountains in Thrace already during ancient Greek era. Hypothetically we therefore can't exclude some sort of common Indo-European roots in these kind of cults!

In Swedish folklore Blåkulla has often been located to the island Blå Jungfrun (between the mainland province Småland and the island province Öland).
