About

The text for :ERILAZ: (part 2) is taken from an esoteric, and probably magickal, inscription carved on a spear shaft, likely made in the 5th Century CE, and found in Kragehnl, Denmark, catalogued as the Kragehul spear shaft (DR 196u, Ryndata). The carving was made in the Elder Futhark written system of runes, notating a proto-Germanic or proto-Scandinavian dialect. The meaning is not clear, but it appears to be a magickal or ritualistic chant or appeal to the Old Gods. Both the transliteration and the interpretation of the original runic text are made by the composer.
