Huldre - ACEOby ~sphinxmuse

Traditional Art / Drawings / Surreal

With the bitterly cold weather and the stark elegance of bare trees, my thoughts have increasingly turned to the lands of my ancestors. The huldre (also called the huldra,huldfolk, or huldu) are the Hidden People who haunt the wild and ancient places of Northern Europe. Among their ranks are the wights of the landscape, alfs both brilliant and dark.

This huldre maid carries a stang inscribed with the rune for hail. Like the season of winter itself, this rune reveals the skeletal structure of many other runes in the Elder Futhark. Flickering candles are a reminder that in the midst of this darkness, the light is increasing.

Amazing!

I adore your work! The pictures Deerwoman and Swan Maiden have the same sort of feel to them as Charles de Lint's The Wild Wood and Terri Windling's The Woodwife

Thank you very much. I have not read the former book, but I have read The Woodwife and enjoyed it.

THAT'S A BEAUTIFULLY COMPOSED DRAWING, AND A CAPTIVATING STORY ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN EUROPE.

Thank you very much. I'm just exploring the tip of the iceburg when it comes to the wonderful stories, folklore, etc of Northern Europe. I hope to learn more.
