• Hel is in Norse mythology both the name of the underground kingdom of death and its mistress. Unlike Valhalla was hell originallya joint residence for all dead. It is far to the north and separated from the land of the living by a river that Gjallarbridge head over.

• Hel, daughter of loki and the giantess Angerboda, looks terrifying out, half blue-black like a corpse, half of color as a living person. Life in Hel’s kingdom of death is sad and joyless, but the idea of a criminal place is Christian times to see Hell.

Odin is associated with war, battle, victory and death, but also wisdom, Shamanism, magic, poetry, prophecy, and the hunt. Odin has many sons. The most famous of them is Thor the thunder god. Odin is a shape changer, and has a lot of disguises. In myths he is described as obsessed with finding new knowledge, and he also travelled the world to find more wisdom either as a bird, or riding on the horse Sleipner.

Huginn and Muninn
