Hagalaz' Runedance "Volven"

Hagalaz' Runedance is a Ambient/Folk project by German artist Andrea Nebel.

Andrea Nebel (born Andrea Meyer), known under her artist name of Nebelhexë, is a German recording artist, writer, actress and model.

Haugen cites her influences as the Cocteau Twins, Kate Bush and The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos. Since 2003 she has released her music under the name of Nebelhexë.

Her song "Skindeep", from the album Dead Waters, was initially chosen for the Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack, but was eventually not chosen.

Haugen writes film scripts, both horror and satire. She began writing in 1995. She is a pagan and has publicly criticised what she views as patriarchal religions that inhibit people's inner nature. She wrote a book about Germanic spirituality and mythology, The Ancients Fire of Midgard. Many of her social-critical comments have been printed in alternative magazines and also in Norwegian tabloids and magazines. She writes Gothic and surreal poetry.

She is releasing a spoken word CD to her new poem book "The Dark Side of Dreaming".

Volven is their second album as Hagalaz' Runedance, released in 2000.
