Huldra

In a dense, ancient forest in Denmark, there lived a beautiful Huldra named Solveig. She had long, golden hair, eyes that sparkled like the stars, and a voice that could charm anyone who heard it. Despite her enchanting beauty, Solveig had a hollow back, which she carefully concealed.

One day, a young woodcutter named Erik ventured deep into the forest to find the finest wood for his village. As he was chopping a tree, he heard a melodious singing that seemed to echo through the trees. Entranced by the music, he followed the sound until he came upon Solveig, who was sitting on a rock, combing her golden hair and singing a hauntingly beautiful song.

Erik was immediately captivated by her beauty and her voice. Solveig, noticing Erik, greeted him warmly and invited him to sit with her. She offered him food and drink, and they spent the afternoon talking and laughing. Erik quickly fell in love with Solveig, unable to see the danger that lay beneath her charm.

As the sun began to set, Solveig warned Erik, "You must return to your village before nightfall, for the forest is dangerous after dark."

Erik, eager to see Solveig again, promised to return the next day. He visited her every day, each time falling deeper under her spell. His friends and family noticed his frequent absences and warned him about the dangers of the forest spirits, but Erik ignored their concerns.

One evening, Erik decided to stay with Solveig after sunset. As darkness fell, he noticed something strange about Solveig's back. Curiosity got the better of him, and he tried to look behind her. Solveig, realizing she could no longer hide her true nature, stood up and revealed her hollow back.

Erik, horrified and heartbroken, stumbled backward. Solveig's enchanting beauty turned into a sorrowful expression. She pleaded with Erik, "Do not be afraid, for I mean you no harm. I have fallen in love with you, and I only wished for your company."

Despite her words, Erik could not overcome his fear. He ran back to his village, leaving Solveig heartbroken and alone. The next morning, he found himself weak and ill, as the spell of the Huldra had taken its toll on him.

Realizing his mistake, Erik returned to the forest to find Solveig, hoping to make amends. But Solveig was nowhere to be found. He searched for days, calling out her name, but the forest remained silent.

About the Artist/Author:

Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind coloring.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:

Things I Love:

Drawing: My happy place is with a pencil in hand, bringing ideas to life on paper.
Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!
Mythology: From Greek gods to Aztec legends, I’m fascinated by the stories that have shaped cultures.
History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.

Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:

Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?
Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!
Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.
Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?

I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.

I know that while the coloring pages are largely for kids, many of you visiting the site are educators and caregivers. I’ve tried to share some interesting trivia tidbits and fun facts to make your visit enjoyable too. Happy coloring!
