HULDA - In Nordic literature she is a goddess that is very fair, elegant in appearance and associated with the spinning of flax. In Germanic folklore she is known as Holda or Frau Holle, goddess of domestic arts, Winter, Witches and The Underworld but not the same part of the underworld as the Nordic goddess Hel. Instead her realm is a different, strange and magical part that has the "Elder Tree" which is known as the medicine chest to the common people because of its healing properties. She is also a Goddess to the Faerie Folk. Hulda, Holda represents many different aspects of femininity including the Maiden, Mother and Crone. She is associated with the spinning of Flax, cooking, cleaning, childcare and protector of children despite the myths about her stealing the souls of dead children. She is a patron of housewives and married couples, rewards hardwork and punishes those who are lazy. In this Illustration she is portrayed as the Mother, Maiden, Crone along with the sensual sides of femininity.
