↟ Preserve your heritage. Native Scandinavian from Sweden with an ancient traditional instrument called Näverlur.
Näverlur – Lúðrblást/Norse Hornblést (Birch Horn), is an ancient traditional Scandinavian instrument made of wood of fir and birch. The instrument is dating back 1100 years ago and the oldest Näverlur that has been found in Sweden can be tracked back as far as 900s.
The Näverlur is associated with the old Scandinavian "fäbod-culture" where it was used to attract the animals to come home, scare predators, to keep evil forest creatures away (creatures form our Scandinavian folklore), and to send different messages to other villages over long distances. The sound from a Näverlur has the capacity to travel up to more than 5 kilometres.
There are different melodies for different messages and it was usually women who used these horns. Each one could..- continues in comment below ⬇️

↟ Skaði – The mythical goddess of the Scandinavian Wilderness.
❄️ Skaði hunts in the mountains of Scandes with a bow and cross-country skis, and is sometimes associated with the winter dís. She's living among frost giants in Trymheim and Jotunheim, and the giant Tjasse is her father. In Norse mythology the story goes that she came to Asgard to avenge her father – the giant Tjasse who was killed by the gods of Asgard. Instead of revenge the gods offered her a compensation – she would marry one of them. To do so, she had to choose by looking at their feet while they're lined up behind a cloth.
❄ Skaði wanted to marry the god of light Baldr, and thought that the most beautiful feet must be his. But it was not, those feet belonged to the god of the sea; Njord. The marriage was not successful, Njord wanted to live by the sea in his dwelling Noatun. Skaði ...- continues in comment below ⬇️
