contemporary Norse Goddess meme: Hel.

Image
Hel, a goddess of death , ends this Norse Goddess meme series. Consigned to take those who do not die in battle, she's described as half-dead & half-alive, as depicted by contrasting panels 2 & 7. There's an adoption of medieval reaper imagery here with the beckoning hand & cowl of panels 1 & 8. The solitary figure on the misted land in panel 3 could be her initially arriving in Niflheim before setting up her eponymous realm for the dead. [Found on a VK Wall. This was the last of this series we could find, but if you know of more, do let us know. And if any of you know who made these, or the particular #Meme generator used, do tell, as we'd love to make more ourselves.] #    #    # 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.

contemporary Norse Goddess meme: Glut.

Image
Glut is a Jötunn's daughter on her father's side, an Alfar Daughter on her mother's side, and married to a Múspellsmegir. While Glut's included in this Norse Goddess meme series, her association with her husband Logi places her outside the circle of the Aesir , though her mixed parentage makes her rather unique and raises the question: Does mixing a frost giant with a light elf create fire giants? If so, are these unions the source of the deadly Sons & Daughters of Muspel? As her name means "glowing embers" the choices of a redhead, flames, and smoke imagery's very fitting, and the racey & playful model personifies the seduction, beauty, & danger to be found in fire.

contemporary Norse Goddess meme: Jörð.

Image
Jörð takes this Norse Goddess meme series away from the Aesir into the selection of the femine Jötunn, which some of the gods do consort with and marry. Jord is the mother of Thor by Odin, so it makes sense that Thor rigorously protects Midgard as it's a manifestation of his Earth Goddess mother. The images selected show the natural fecundity & growth of the Earth parallel to the pregnant goddess figure. [Found on a VK Wall. If any of you know who made these, do tell.

contemporary Norse Goddess meme: Sigyn.

Image
Loki's long-suffering wife, Sigyn , is the subject of this fourth Norse Goddess meme in the series. The tears through the dust in the top right panel are a telling choice of commitment married to regret, while the contrast of the fifth & sixth panels show her sons before one is used to kill the other to make bindings for her captured husband. Or the wolf in the sixth panel could also be Loki shifted into a wolf and the couple in a fleetingly happier moment. In the seventh panel is the bowl she uses to intercept the serpent's venom of dripping down on her bound husband's face, thus also sparing us from the earthquakes caused by his uncontrollable writhing ... at least until her bowl is full and she leaves to empty it again.

contemporary Norse Goddess meme: Eir.

Image
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.
