Mythical Creature Ramble


There are lots of folklore and stories based around a mythical creature. Think about it hard enough you will see the logic behind them. Each have some kind of meaning, or can for each individual. What are some of the creatures that hold a specific meaning, or lesson, for you.

Mine is the Unicorn. It is peaceful as well as beautiful. There is something about seeing a photo or statue of one of these wonderful creatures. Soon as I do, my mind finds a state of calmness. A kind that gives me a blank slate. No rushing thoughts. No murmurs of the outside life. It renews me.


Let me know if you have a mythical creature that does this for you. Or something else that assist you in your life.

Mythical Creature Day – Huldra


Huldra is associate with Scandinavian, Norwegian, Swedish, Sami (Lapplanders) and German folklore. Huldran is a wood nymph and described to look like a beautiful woman with long hair, but she has a cow’s tail and a hollowed out back. Some of the myths speaks of her luring men into the woods and keeping them until they agree to marry her. Some of the folklores state that once married in a church in God’s name she gains the strength of ten. The mere description of her peeked my curiosity and I found myself spending almost an hour flipping through images of Huldras. I finally narrowed it down to one to share with you.
