Hel Statue – Norse Goddess of Death – Oak Wood Handmade Sculpture – Pagan Altar Decor | Mythology & Viking Spiritual Art

Description

Handmade oak wood statue of Hel – Norse goddess of death and the underworld.
Daughter of Loki, Hel rules over the realm of the dead with stillness and certainty. This oak wood sculpture captures her dual nature: life and death, beauty and decay, stillness and power. Crafted for pagan altars, spiritual practice, or mythology-inspired collections, this statue embodies the sacred presence of Hel.

Place her upon a heathen altar, among Norse pantheon figures, or let her guard your sacred space with calm strength.

✦ From the Prose Edda – Gylfaginning:
“She is half black and half flesh-colored, and in that she is easily recognized. She looks rather gloomy and grim.”

Her realm is cold, silent, and deep — but not evil. She is the keeper of rest, of endings, and of balance between worlds.
