Fruits Of Yggdrasil
©Edition Ananael. Österreich, 2002.


For those of you who dont know, Freya Aswynn's is the entity created by Elizabeth Hooijschuur a figure of considerable distinction within the Norse heathen community, a dedicated priestess of Odin,  rune-mistress and writer that in past years has collaborated with some musical projects such as 6omm, Current 93, Les Joyaux De La Princesse and Fire+Ice, well know artists in the field of Neo-Folk music.
 Aswynn's" has  released three albums under her own name, The Fruits Of Yggdrasil was originally released as a limited-edition vinyl LP on Eyas Media in 1987,  1995’s Shades Of Yggdrasil  and 1998’s Songs Of Yggdrasil, which was released to accompany the Northern Mysteries and Magick book.  The Fruits Of Yggdrasil was re-released in 2002 on the Austrian label Edition Ananael, with bonus tracks including Freya’s tracks with Current 93 and Fire + Ice, as well as two tracks with Wayne Owens originally released on Shade of Yggdrasil, and it has now been released by the Hau Ruck!.
This album’s focus is on initiation into the northern mysteries, the sound is difficult to describe, the spoken words are always present, reciting magic and ancestry words, the tribal and industrial percussions set the pace,  haunting flutes and  background weird soundscapes thicken the beauty and mystery of this record, that i higgly recommend  if you have an open mind.
