#norse goddess
Hela: Just to clear up some rumors; I DO have blood and I do have ALL of MY bones, and I didn’t take them from anyone, I grew them myself. So stop asking.
Now I’m just imagining Hel in her dual form, living and skeletal, taking entire appendages of bone off her ‘dead’ side and then putting them right back to demonstrate “I’m serious, I grew them myself! See? SEE?”
I normally I don’t give Odin red clothing but prefer gray,black,brown ore blue.
But this is when he was yunger and I like to think of him a lot more wilde and cocky. More like Loki and Thor.
After he gained the wisdom of the world’s he got more like the Odin we know and love today.
Ofcorse this is just a un serious comic about mythology, and not a “this is how it was”
Also:
I love to think of the Norns as sassy old know it all grandma’s

Skadi
Norse goddess of winter and hunting.
➳ Enjoy the outdoors; visit nearby hiking trails, parks, lakes, etc
➳ During the winter, go outside more! Throw it back to snowball fights, sledding, snow angels and people, etc
➳ If you collected snow water this past winter, leave it as an offering for her. If not, or if you’re in an area without, snow globes and paper snowflakes also work!
➳ If you typically hunt, dedicate the act to her.
➳ Have a random winter based movie marathon in the off months
➳ Dress for the weather. This is ignored especially during the colder months, so make sure to get your coat out next season!
➳ Add cooler colors into your wardrobe, whites and light blues / yellows / etc etc. This can be as simple as nail polish, but range from accented makeup to full clothing dedications.
➳ Go all out with winter celebrations, don’t let the cold hold you back!
➳ Set up a winter oasis for her in your home using decorations you’d normally have put away; keep out your stringed lights, snow settings, etc etc
➳ Practice your aim. This can be as grand as practicing archery, or as small as using your trash as a basket, playing bags, and so on.
➳ Keep up to date with the Winter Olympics the next time they’re on.
➳ Donate your old winter clothes in her name.
➳ Exercise! I feel this is a good way to honor a goddess of the hunt - going on walks and/or runs in particular.
➳ As per usual, light a candle! Any winter, nature, or woods themed scents work perfectly for her!
Feel free to add your own! This post is subject to updates, but anything added from another source will get it’s due credit. You can request an additional Norse deity / figure here.
This is my latest work on the runic illustration series. This is my interpretation of Isa I associate her with the goddess Skadi. I see her inside big ice block ,or maybe in frozen river waiting to be awake . Or maybe waiting stand still hunting.

Ran, Seaborne Lady
Mother, Protector, Provider, Muse
Hail, Lady of the Northern Seas,
Whose hair lies in all the waving weed
In all the shoreline waters.
In stillness you calm the fury of my soul
In darkness you sing me to sleep with your waves
In moonlight you dance temptations rival
beneath Mani’s beguiling gaze
Hail, wife of Aegir, mother of the Nine,
Goddess of the salt waters,
Mother of plankton, mother of barracudas,
Mother of great and branching coral reefs,
Mother of anglerfish and anemones
Your power humbles me
Your beauty awe’s me
Your secrets beckon me
Your spirit embraces me
Hail, Lady who challenges us to see
That Nature is not under our control,
That we are only a small part of the world,
And that we must not be too arrogant,
That we are flesh and flesh can drown.
Dangerous in motion, safety when at peace
Your power lies hidden behind cove, harbor and reef
Tendrils of magic, like seaweed you wind
Siren song to your children you weave, twist and twine.
Hail, Lady of ocean’s bounty
And ocean’s cold destructiveness,
And may we come to appreciate your realm
Before you take it from us forever.
Your bosom my shelter, my comfort, my grave
For all this I praise you, Fair Ran of the waves.
