BLOD&TRO - a Blood Service

BLOD&TRO - a blood service

What we believe lies at the core of all cultures. Beliefs and codes of conduct are passed down from generation to generation, and even though we believe we have freed ourselves from the gods of our ancestors, they are often still with us.

FAITH, DOUBT AND INHERITANCE
Belief in a higher power has probably existed for as long as humans have lived on Earth. Faith has been a prerequisite for survival, especially when times have been hard.
Can the longing for faith and meaning be genetic? There are actually scientists who claim that the human ability to believe in something so strongly that it is experienced as truth is embedded in our genes.

BLOD&TRO offers processions and rituals, there will be newly composed music, alternation singing and yoik, facts and fantasies, prayers and blood sacrifices, light seriousness and deep humor or vice versa.

The backdrop for BLOD&TRO – a blood service – is the meeting between Laestadianism and ancient natural faith – a meeting between Christian pietism and unruly undergrounds that still both inspire and provoke.
