The goddess Hel from Norse Mythology
Hel is a fascinating figure from Norse mythology, known as the goddess who presides over the namesake realm of the dead, Helheim. Unlike the fiery infernos of other cultures' underworlds, Helheim is often depicted as a cold, bleak, and misty place, where those who did not die in battle find their final rest. As the ruler of this realm, Hel is portrayed as a being of duality, embodying both the inevitability of death and the nurturing aspect of providing a place for the deceased. Her appearance is often described as stark and haunting, with one side of her body resembling a living woman, while the other is that of a corpse, symbolizing the bridge between life and death.
When imagining Hel for coloring, picture her in a realm where the muted tones of the underworld meet the vibrant sparks of life that once were. Her dominion could be illustrated with shades of gray and icy blues, creating a backdrop that reflects the chill and isolation of her realm. Yet, amidst this somber setting, there could be elements of muted warmth, like the flicker of distant fires or the subdued greens of resilient moss, hinting at the life that once touched the souls in her care. Coloring Hel offers a unique opportunity to explore themes of contrast and balance, bringing depth and nuance to the complex character of this Norse goddess.
