HYLDEMOER
Norse Tree Spirit
Also known as Elder Mother, Elder Woman, Hyldequinde
Spirit of the Elder Tree
She is an elderly lady. That’s elder as in elder tree, not older or alder. She is a Tree Spirit who seems nice enough, provided you respect elder trees.
Whatever you do, never take wood from an elder tree without asking her permission first. If you don’t, she will take her revenge.
Scandinavian folklore reveals that she particularly dislikes her trees being chopped down to make cradles and cribs. If you put a baby to sleep in an elderwood cradle, Hyldemoer will come along and pull at the innocent babe’s legs until it shrieks.
