About Hel
In Norse mythology, Hel is the goddess of death and ruler of the underworld realm also known as Hel or Niflheim. She is the daughter of Loki, the god of mischief, and the giantess Angrboda. Her dual appearance—part living, part dead—represents her dominion over the boundary between life and death.
Origins
Hel plays a significant role in Norse mythological narratives about the afterlife and cosmic destiny. According to prophecy, she and her siblings (Fenrir and Jörmungandr) are destined to be key figures during Ragnarok, the foretold end of the world.
Role in Mythology
-
Guardian of the Dead: Hel governs the realm of those who die from natural causes. She provides order and structure within the afterlife, maintaining balance in her domain.
-
Lineage: As the child of Loki, she is part of a mythological lineage that represents transformation and the inevitability of fate.
-
Protector of Souls: Though often viewed as a somber figure, Hel is not malevolent. She ensures the fair treatment of souls in her realm.
Symbolism
Hel embodies the cycle of life and death. Her image reflects the inevitability of mortality, the concept of rebirth, and the importance of accepting the natural progression of existence. In some spiritual practices, she represents deep insight into the mysteries of life and the role of death as part of universal balance.
