My first portrait of the Norse goddess, Idunn:

Idunn, The Orchard God, is one of the dearest of deities. Beloved by the Aesir for her many talents - not least of which for her craft of Orchard keeping. For amidst the boughs of Yggdrasil (and behind the walls of Asgard) Idunn tends the fruit that keeps the gods forever young. Yet, while the other gods may favour her for her talents, there is one who adores for something more: her husband the God of Poetry and Song Bragi.

One of the many important projects on which I'm working for Hyperborean Radio. Stay tuned for more.

Question: Do you think there is some relationship between the dark extreme myths of Scandinavia's past heroes and gods and the dark extreme music now generated from these lands? Are the echoes of the past still influencing this music?

Answer: "The Viking blood still runs through our veins, the Semite-socialistic Christians have systematically destroyed our culture, religion (cosmology really) and everything belonging to the Germanic tribes. Even our myths are twisted and corrupted. Nevertheless we are Germanic in thinking and behaving thereafter. It is not echoes from the past it is echoes from ourselves! The archetypes awake within us. Aye, we are proud of our heritage but it's our blood that has begun boiling again, with fury and self-respect. This is our awakening. The return of Wotan.
