Perth Festival 2026 Sanctum Series Event Program

Åkervinda Thu 26 Feb 7.30pm SWEDEN

Repertoire & Notes

Spellbound is a concert built around three spells. A journey through nature, love, tradition, womanhood & witchcraft. The program features traditional songs arranged by Åkervinda except where indicated. 1. L är mig du skog Teach me o’ forest, how to wither with grace, like the yellow leaves of autumn, a better spring will soon arrive A psalm about nature and the change of seasons – both in nature but also in life. 2. Gullesol – Spell No. 1 Golden sun, golden sun, come back again This phrase is repeated over and over, to call back the sun at the darkest time of year. This spell can also be used on a rainy day, before an important event, when it is absolutely crucial for the sun to shine brightly. 3. Vatten* When the sun returns, the snow and ice in the mountains melt. Water runs down in little streams, waking everything, bringing it to life. This is where spring begins.
