Red Rocks Hosts Immersive Pagan Ritual of Nordic Folk With Heilung

What Christopher Juul sees from the stage each night is much more, and bigger, than a sold-out audience full of fervent fans.

“For every person who buys a ticket, we donate to plant trees,” he adds. “For us, it’s a full circle doing these kinds of things. The gig has not ended when we leave the stage. There’s an aftermath that’s important to take care of.”“The Costa Rican rainforest is the fastest declining on the planet because there are so many rich people buying lands and throwing the forests away,” Franz says. “Savage Lands realized it’s fairly easy to buy land and therefore protect it from being demolished.

Besides nature, the trio draws from a deep well of ancestral history dating back to the Bronze and Iron ages in northern Europe when creating their own pagan performances.The pre-Christian rituals, as they’re referred to, start with the burning of ceremonial incense, a cleansing that concerns “inviting in the good spirits and asking the bad ones to step aside creating a safe space,” Franz explains.

“I feel now that we’re coming with something that’s on our backbones,” Franz adds. “We’re breathing the ritual we’re coming with now.” “It definitely puts people in a special state of mind,” she adds. “We aim to alter your state of mind at certain points during the performance. The goal is that you leave the concert feeling in a better place than you were when you came.”

Juul agrees and has a message for all the returning participants. “To them, I just want to say, ‘Welcome home,’” he shares, adding that it doesn’t matter if it’s your first or hundredth time seeing Heilung — everyone is embraced.
