Goddess Hel – filet crochet design coming soon!

Known as the Goddess of Death in Norse mythology ruler of the lands that make up Hel, Helheim and Niflhel. Her face, half alive and half decompossed, represents her connection to the afterlife and marking her as the keeper of the dead. She assists the souls of the deceased and takes them to their judgement, an essential role in Norse mythology.
