Many of us remember this picture because of Varg Vikernes and his project
BURZUM(the cover of “Umskiptar” 2012). But only few know that the place
depicted on the picture is real. It is located in Sogneforde. There are ancient
burials and menhirs. This sacred pagan place remained untouchable for a long
time. There was a tall old birch in the middle of the mound which died in a
storm in 1839. Once poets and artists came here for inspiration and later
immortalized this image in their poems and paintings. Now there is nothing left
from sacredness and inspiration – mounds are surrounded by the houses and the
gas station.
But the day will come and a young birch sprout will
let it roots deep into the ancient mound again and only ruins overgrown with
moss will remind about the era of soulless urbanism.
