The second of the NorseGoddess memes is for Eir . Images of the herbal & apothecary have been presented to frame the idea of the Aesir's goddess of healing. Eir's also listed as a valkyrie in another source, so as with most Norse Deities the facets of what they do are polyvalent & complex. We like the inference of the last panel's hand gesturing seiðr work. [Found on a VK Wall. If any of you know who made these, do tell.

For a long time, I've admired this series of Norse Goddess memes (though not all of them are goddess figures, nor on the Aesir side of the Innagard fence), and here's the first: Freyja . The choice of high-resolution modern photography and makes these feel contemporary and thus more connective to the here & now. The golden eyeshadow & glitter applique for the golden tears over her missing husband is a rather clever touch. [Found on a VK Wall. If anyone knows who originally designed these, do let me know. (And if it's from a known meme generator, do let me know which as I'd love to make some in the same style.)] #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven.

[ Goddess Skadi illustration by BleedingHeartworks.] Given all the classical & romantic re-interpretations of figures in the beautiful Art Nouveau style, the famous Jötunndaughter Skaði makes a great subject. The naked feet seem to be a clever and intentional artistic decision to reference Skadi having to select her husband by the appearance of his bare feet alone. #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven.

Yggdrasil gameboard, from Ludonautes! The lighting throughout Pierô's illustrations alone makes this, and the cards are equally winning. The game is phenomenal for devotees of the Norse Lore, as you cooperatively each play one of the Aesir trying to stop the group of Ragnarok's monsters from advancing into Asgard and taking over The Nine Worlds. It's really, really challenging, and with an enemy moving forward every turn, you'll feel like you're up against the unfolding of the Völva's prophecy of doom! #FavouriteBoardgame #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven.
