  1. I stumbled across your channel and absolutely love your content. I've felt a strong connection to Norse mythology most of my life, thank you for your teachings. Looking forward to the next video.

  2. Just found you this morning while making a late lunch. Hope to see more Norse monsters soon, though I hope you'll forgive me if I say your pronunciation needs a touch of work. Great video though, and gorgeous artwork selection to represent the subjects.

  3. My countrys (Sweden) version of Huldra is called Skogsrå, she is a beautiful woman with either a cows tail, fox tail or a hole in her back that looks like an old tree. If you meet her you should try your best to ignore her tail or else she might be offended and curse you with bad luck or kill you or something. If she likes you she can make sure you never miss your target when out hunting animals. She is not interested in marriage, she just kills men or lure them deep into the forest only to disappear and leave them with no way back.
    She can also sometimes help girls to take care of animals so thats nice hehe 🙂

  4. in both english and scandinavian, the mare is the reason for nightmares and is the origin of "night'mare'"

    in swedish nightmare translates to mardröm; mare dream or dream of the mare.
