📖 Who Is Hel in Norse Mythology?

Hel is the daughter of Loki and the giantess Angrboda, making her sister to Fenrir (the wolf) and Jörmungandr (the world serpent). She rules over Helheim, the realm of the dead — a cold, misty place where souls go if they did not die in battle.

Her appearance is striking: half alive, half decayed, symbolizing her dominion over both life and death. She is often portrayed as stern, impartial, and powerful, guarding the gates of the underworld with her loyal hound Garm.

Hel plays a key role in the myth of Baldr’s death, where she refuses to release the god unless all beings weep for him — a testament to her authority and neutrality.

🧊 Symbolism & Legacy

Hel embodies the inevitability of death, the balance of existence, and the mystery of the afterlife. She is not evil, but rather a guardian of transitions, reminding us that endings are part of the cosmic rhythm.

Her legacy continues in modern culture, inspiring literature, art, and even spiritual practice. She is a symbol of female power, solitude, and the unseen realms.
