Frigg and her Handmaidens

I decided to redraw my designs for Frigg and her handmaidens again since I haven’t drawn all of them in a minute!

I gave most of them, including Frigg slight redesigns, but I thought drawing them all again would be a fun little thing to do because I feel like these goddesses aren’t talked about enough

Masterpost: Frīg's Handmaidens Project

Who are the Handmaidens?

In the Prose Edda, twelve Goddesses are listed after Frigga as Ásynjur: Fulla, Gefjon, Hlín, Syn, Eir, Sága, Gná, Vár or Vór, Snotra, Vör, Lofn and Sjöfn. Modern Heathens sometimes refer to Them as Frigga's Handmaidens. (This is a piece of shared gnosis, not an historically attested term.) For many of the Twelve, this is all that survives in the way of attestations.

What is the Project?

Gradually over several years, and more intentionally recently, I have been building a devotional cultus around these Goddesses. As part of that, I've been putting together primers on each of the Twelve on my longform blog -- detailing Their surviving attestations, Old English God-names and epithets for Them, my own personal experiences and upg, a prayer, and devotional icon art -- as well as essays and modern myths exploring other aspects of Them and my cultus to Them.

Although I use Old English names for Them and honour Them in a syncretic heathen practice drawing on influences from across the British and Irish Isles, I hope these may be useful and/or interesting for practitioners working in a Norse, Continental, or other context. Or for anyone worshipping and building cultus to lesser-known and lesser-attested Gods!

I will update this post periodically, but if you like you can subscribe to my longform Wordpress blog for updates when I post.

Challenge for GOWR Fans

As a gow fan, i have a proposition for all artist who love the game, a challenge if you may.

The challenge is to make your own design of three characters that did not appear in GOWR but are in norse mythology.

Theses characters are:

-Hel (Godess of Death and Daughter of Loki and Angrboda)

-Vidar (Last son of Odin and God of Silence and Vengeance and last)

-Snotra (Godess of Wisdom and Daughter of Mimir and Sigrum)

But there a a few things that you must follow, before doing it.

-All of the three are in the same age (12 years old) and are best friends.

'-Snotra has to have horns like her father.

-Vidar has to have blood-like red eyes (because i think it would look cool) and he has to wear the boots he uses from the myths.

-Hel must have something in her design that makes a great connection to her heritage, like something from both her parents and her grandfather.

Besides that you can do whatever you want in your design, even make a backstory for each of them.

There will be no winners in the challenge because is just for fun, but whoever has a design that is interesting and very unique, i will choose that design and write a fanfic about the three characters, i will also credit the artist who made it and if he/she want´s, they can resquest a fic about then.

Hope you guys like the challenge and Good Luck!!

Don´t forget to reblog if you want.

Renaissance Poke

Clusters of people walked towards the large castle doors, some older, some quite young, each of them dressed in a wide array of outfits. One by one, each attendee handed their ticket to the guard and was granted passage. Mortals create such interesting lives. Daithi stood there, observing with a warm smile on his face. He snapped his fingers, reached into his sporran, and pulled out a ticket,…

[ravenousnightwind]

Also, if people are upset about them worshipping Freya and Loki together. You should see my altar because I've got the majority of the major gods and goddesses on it, and a few of the not so common worshipped too.

Certainly I have both Freya and Loki on the same altar but that isn't all!

Oðin

Frigg

Mani

Sunna

Eir

Iðun

Freyr

Heimdal

Saga

Snotra

Njorðr

Skaði

Tyr

Vár

Thor

Hel

Urd

Verdandi

Skuld

Yep, all on the same altar and same space as each other. Every day, I say a little chant and thank them for being there in my life in the past and ask they continue to teach me about things. It's really casual of a thing. I honor each deity every single day. I have specific days of the week all set out for them. It's all based on my personal interpretation of who I feel best fits together based on my personal feelings and relationships with them. Like today being Tyr, Skadi, and Var. Tomorrow, it's Odin and Heimdal.

You mad? Idc lol

If you’re still upset about some dispute the gods had in MYTHOLOGY a thousand+ years ago you need to seriously chill. I can be a Freyja devotee and work with Loki as well. Did he slut shame her in lokasenna? Yes. Was lokasenna written by a Christian HUMAN dude? YES. Remember that. If you take mythology literally without thinking about who wrote it and the context and religions and politics of the time then you’re being foolish. Sorry, but it’s true.

"Find out about what?"

Slight Sigtra (Snotra x Sigyn) angst since Odin got suspicious of their relationship and they had to break up. Sigyn eventually made a family for herself but without her ex! Another tragic lesbian love story.. 😔

Fan art for @ryebread-x because their designs are so unique and cool!! ✨

Story/Series Masterlist

Hellooo! Thanks for stumbling onto this. My fandoms primarily are The Mandalorian and Star Trek: TNG, but there's also The Last of Us, Avengers, Portal 2, and The Good Place. I try to stick as closely to the original source material as possible, I know the canon and the characters, and probably throw in more Easter eggs and other blink-and-you'll-miss-it references than I should.

If you're one for strong and snarky Readers/OFCs (here there be swearing), slow burns (envision a glacier), angst (it's a good kind of pain), and humor (lulz), then this is probably a good place to come waste some time. 👻

* Current works in progress *

Short Debts Make Long Friends - (The Mandalorian; Din Djarin/Reader)

An over-educated, underpaid millennial finally gets to go on her first adventure. 1.6k kudos on Ao3. POV Mando and Reader.

Why Don't You Sit Right Down and Stay Awhile - One-shots from "Short Debts" that admittedly are the walking definition of 'crack treated seriously'

- Can Your Helmet Play Elevator Music? - Oh, This is Much Worse- ...It was a Custom Piece

Completed stories:

Hello, My Dear - (Star Trek: TNG; Reader/Q)

Stories of the life and times of Q and his mortal more-than-just-a-friend, Ensign Reader. Because being omnipotent doesn’t mean a thing when it comes to relationships. POV Q and Reader.

As Q Like It - One-shots from "Hello, My Dear," which primarily remain within in TNG but also wander into Voyager and other territories, but none beyond the Neutral Zone

- Shoo, Q! - TNG; Lower Decks; POV Ensign - Does the Other Party In This Scenario Go By Some Form of Epithet, Identification, or Nomenclature? - TNG; POV Data - You Have Three Choices - TNG; POV Q - That Wasn't the Actual Question - TNG; POV Reader - Do I Always Have to Have a Reason to Stop By? - TNG; POV Reader - I Haven't the Vaguest Idea of What You're Talking About - TNG, POV Q - Silver Q - Picard, POV Q

To My Brother, Thor, Whom I Slept With - (Avengers; Loki & Thor)

One-shots about the shenanigans of a young Loki and Thor, and why the young princes of Asgard are the best birth control ever. Primarily Loki's POV, but also occasionally POV Odin and Frigga regretting their choices)

- Great Aunt Snotra's Funeral- A Midnight Lesson in the Current Events of Midgard - The People vs. The Brothers Odinson, or That Time Loki Thought It Was a Bright Idea to Appear on Daytime TV - One Flew Over the Ravens' Nest (Even the Gods Can Be - Psychoanalyzed)

Come Downstairs and Say Hello - (Portal 2; Chell/Wheatley)

With Wheatley in tow, Chell might as well write "DISPENSE PRODUCT HERE" on her shirt and throw herself in front of a turret...but she can't leave him behind, either. POV Chell, Wheatley, and GLaDOS.

Other works in progress that I don't have the heart to admit to myself are probably on permanent hiatus:

Bang, Zoom, Straight to the Moon - (The Last of Us; Joel/OFC)

Joel has been more than happy to let Ellie sabotage his love life since their arrival in Jackson, but all bets are off after she learns that the town’s most recent arrival is a former astronaut. The new gal is smart, single, pretty, and good with a gun. And she’s gone to mother *fucking* space. Joel POV.

Lucky Denver Mint - (Logan Lucky; Clyde Logan/OFC)

The stars over Boone County never looked brighter than the night a pretty astrophysicist walked into Clyde Logan’s bar. Clyde POV.

The Sleazy Place - (The Good Place)

The possibility of Michael never making into the Good Place is why Janet [literally] reassemble the Soul Squad - and what they owe Michael is why Eleanor doesn't hesitate to team up with her friends one last time to try and save their favorite former fire-squid. Eleanor POV. ...She just needs to finish that margarita first.

Frigg’s Handmaidens pt 2/4

Pt 1

Pt 3

Pt 4

Here’s part 2 and the next 3 handmaidens of Frigg. For those who don’t know I’m drawing all 12 of my interpretations of Frigg’s handmaidens which are made up of the minor/lesser known goddesses in Norse mythology. For this part I drew who I’m going to refer to as the triple S’s (Saga,Syn,and Snotra). As with the last part I provide general info about the goddesses in mythology + my own headcanons for each one.

Saga (Goddess of History and Stories)

General info: Saga is often associated with a mysterious place called Sokkvabekkr where Odin often comes and listens to her stories while they drink. She is often theorized to be Odin’s daughter or even sometimes Frigg herself but those theories aren’t usually universal accepted as fact

Headcanons:

-In my interpretation Saga is the daughter of Odin and a unknown jotun women

-Saga never knew her bio mother and was taken to Asgard at a very young age where she was raised by Frigg in her court

-Saga sees Frigg as her mother and Frigg sees Saga as her daughter

-Saga is a huge fan of more fictional stories and tales she often sneaks into Snotra library to read late at night

-As Saga grew up she began to work as one of Frigg’s handmaidens

-Odin eventually gifted Saga Sokkvabekkr on the equivalent to her 18th birthday

-Saga is friends with Snorta since they both share a commonality in books

-I headcanon Saga as aroace since she had no known lovers or children and seems to focus on preserving stories and history

Snotra (Goddess of Wisdom and Prudence)

Basic info: Snotra is one of Frigg’s most faithful handmaidens and friends with Odin. Her name means “clever” and she is one of the goddess who dies durning Ragnorok. In Gylfaginning she is described as a wise and courteous goddess. Not much else is known about her.

Headcanons:

-Snorta is one of Frigg’s closest friends along with Fulla and Eir

-Snorta is part jotun and same species of jotun Bragi and Loki are

-Frigg gifted Snorta a library as a thank you gift which is where Snorta keeps most her scrolls and texts

-Snorta is a diplomat and sort of the historian for the Aesir alongside Saga

-I headcanon Snorta as Lesbian and having been a previous relationship with Sigyn (which occurred way before Sigyn fell in love and married Loki)

-As you can see Sigyn has a type and it’s clever red heads that wear green

-Snorta would often invite Sigyn to her library you know…..to learn about some of her wisdom 👀

-They eventually had to break things off after Odin became suspicious of their relationship

Syn (Goddess of Justice)

General info: Syn is one of the goddess who is more of a guard of Frigg’s rather then a handmaiden. She guards Frigg’s great hall and keeps out unwelcomed visitors. She’s able to tell truths from falsehood with her name it’s self meaning “truth”. She also is credited for keep fairness and integrity durning trials.

Headcanons

-Syn is technically the only “human” out of Frigg’s handmaidens at least she was a human before

-My interpretation of Syn is she’s a retired valkyrie who was appointed to guard Frigg’s hall

-That being said because her position she was given godhood and a title

-Syn in my design wears red to seem more intimidating to outsiders she also keeps a ring of three keys each to important areas of Frigg’s hall and while not pictured she also keep a sword on her.

-The feather attached to her hat was her old valkyrie feather she was aloud to keep

-Syn is friends with Hlin and Gna

-After Nanna unfortunately passed away and Forseti was left an orphan ,Syn raised him along side Frigg and Fulla (I mainly headcanon that she was like a second mother to him because Forseti is the god of justice)

-Forseti sees Syn as his mother after he lost his own but still remembers and honors Nanna as well even though he never saw her again

-I headcanon Syn as ace spec since she has no known partners and like Saga seems more interested in her position and helping Frigg then pursuing anything romantic or sexual with anyone

Sigtryggr x Uhtred's Daughter Headcanons Part I

Disclaimer: She is Uhtred and Gisela's daughter, a year older than Stiorra. Because of this I don't see the harm in naming her instead of calling her 'y/n', because I doubting 9th century times of Saxons and Danes with Dane parents she will be named Ashley or Cameron or Soledad, most of these languages didn't even exist yet.

With that rant aside, I am giving her the Norse name Kelda, and because she is Uhtred and Gisela's daughter she's going to resemble them.

Kelda is the oldest child of Uhtred and Gisela

When their mother left for Valhalla she took on the maternal role.

She looks after her father because he cannot look after himself when it comes to eating and getting enough sleep.

She encouraged Young Uhtred's dream of following the path of the nailed God, and was always trying to convince her father he must be supportive, and that he has that rebellious nature he inherited from him, and being a Rebel in this family means being a Christian

As much as she wanted to smother Stiorra for whining and complaining about being stuck with the children and in hiding, she refrained and understood how frustrating it could be. She prayed to Snotra at least ten times a day for guidance and wisdom.

She needed Stiorra though, for she's more of a warrior than Kelda.

Stiorra does what sisters do and taunt Kelda, saying she's too soft for a Dane and they would never want a flowery wife, Claiming she's better for a Saxon man.

Kelda rolled her eyes but she did worry.

She spends many time in the forest, worshipping the the huldrefolk, the skogsrå, Freya, and the nature deities. Often found dancing ritual circles outside, often naked.

She is very beautiful but doesn't see it herself, a womanly soft figure she resents, wanting to be petite like Stiorra like her mother was. Her breasts could hardly ever even be confined by her dresses.

And how she wished her hair were smoothe like silk like Stiorra and her mother.

Instead wild curls that tangled down to her wide hips was what Kelda possessed. A golden brown color amd usually adorn with flowers or prettily plaited. She washed it everyday with a lye soap she made with mint and lavender herbs, the lye is what caused her light brown hair to have a goldness to it. She would bathe in honeysuckle oil water she made as well and wash her face four times a day with chamomile soap and water. She dedicated these grooming times and beauty spells to Freyja.

Stiorra felt it to be silly and vain of Kelda, but these routines kept her constantly tumultuous life going, to being Uhtred's daughter, a little sane.

Kelda sewed herself dresses usually a similar color to cornflower, it was as her favorite as well as earthy blush tones, all made her hair color more pronounced, looked lovely against her sun-kissed skin (since she was always outside), made her very fully rosy lips appear more rosy, and her warm doe brown eyes appear almost golden.

She used to be very fond of Finan, and would learn Gaelic from him , but when she became older she realized how silly she was and felt nothing for him but familial love.

When she, Lady Aelswith, Stiorra, and Aethelstan were kidnapped, she was very afraid but only for the others not herself.

She vowed to do anything to protect them.

The stares of Haestens men did make her weary though, the way they'd comment on her sweet smell or her soft hair, or comment on her breasts. Stiorra squeezed her hand when she saw her sister tear up in fear of being taken by force.

But miraculously the journey to Winchester, or what was left of it, she was unharmed they all were.

When they arrived, she felt ill of the wild pregnant shieldmaiden, the Goddesses warned her she could feel it. But she stood in front of Stiorra and Aethelstan protectively looking brave and showing no weakness.

Catching the eye of the warlord, Lord Sigtryggr of Ireland.

His icy blue eyes had the most difficult time removing from this maiden who was obviously Freyja herself in the flesh.

He looked stoic to all in the room but all he could think of focus on, was how well her developed body filled out her torn blue dress, looking like a tempting huldrakall with her thick blood colored lips beckoning him like a spell, wild and beautiful goddess like hair with a color that reminded him of the sun lighting the earth, wanting to smell the locks. He looked into her wide, innocent eyes, lidded with long eyelashes and a pretty dark shade of the earth. Her cheeks are round and rosy despite her sun-kissed skin and Sigtryggr hardly recognized himself, for no maiden has ever made him feel this way. Unable to breathe, forgetting his plan and reason.

Brida demanded them to prove that they are Danes and asked the other girl who Frigga's handmaiden is, he was impressed with her correct answer proving her Dane heritage. She insulted the beauty and called her a Saxon outright. But she surprised Sigtryggr and all in the room when her sweet, soft voice spoke back with firmness. "I am a Dane like my sister, I worship Frigga and Freyja, I dance in midsommar for Sól and braid flower wreaths, I give myself to Freyja's Magick, pray at her alter. And right now I look to Snotra for guidance!"

His heart never raced so fast, and Brida seemed to recognize the girls claiming them to be the Dane-Slayer's children.

Brida wanted to throw the beauty to the men but Sigtryggr didn't let her, calmly demanding her presence with him.

Little did he know, she too could hardly take her eyes off of him as well.

Iceland's final McDonald's restaurant closed its doors back in 2009, and it has left people astonished to discover that one of the last meals ever served there is still remarkably well-preserved 🍔 ⁠

In fact, the hamburger and fries have maintained their appearance so well that they are currently showcased at Snotra House, a hostel located in the southern region of the country.⁠

Follow for more 👉 @mindset.therapy

The decade-old burger and fries have become such a captivating curiosity that the hostel even hosts a live broadcast of the meal on their website, reportedly attracting 400,000 viewers regularly.⁠

How much would you pay? 👀

Lunch anyone??
