Altar Figurine “Hel”

Hel is the ruler of the underworld of the same name in Norse mythology and the daughter of Loki. Her appearance is half living and half dead, a symbol of the two inseparable sides of existence.

Meaning in tradition. According to Norse belief, the souls of those who died not in battle but of old age and illness went to Hel's realm. Hel received them all, fairly and without exception. She was honoured as the keeper of memory, ancestral wisdom and the inevitable cycle of life and death.

Esoteric properties:

• helps you accept change and the end of stages
• strengthens the bond with ancestors and family memory
• supports you in times of loss and transformation
• gives a sober view and inner resilience

How to use. Place the figurine on an ancestor altar with photographs, a candle and offerings and use it in remembrance practices, at Samhain and when closing cycles of life.

The figurine is made of polystone in an antique bronze finish, with a name plate “Hel” on the base. Complete your altar with magic candles and incense.
