HULDRA

Norse Forest Spirits

Also known as Hulder

Secret long-tailed wood ladies

Actually they are not exactly ladies, more wood nymphs into grazing herds, dancing, and hypnotic harp playing.

They are so beautiful in a face-to-face confrontation, but what’s behind? Not a lot. They have a hollow back, and we do mean hollow. Plus a very long tail.

The Huldra may have more than a little in common with the Germanic Holda.
