Lore

Huldra are beautiful forest seductresses in Scandinavian folklore, appearing as stunning women with cow tails and hollow backs like trees. They lure men into the forest with song and dance, sometimes marrying them or leading them to death. Kindness earns their favor, granting luck in hunting, while disrespect brings misfortune. Huldra embody the allure and danger of the wild, blending beauty with otherworldly traits. They represent the tension between human desire and nature's power, and the consequences of crossing into the forest's hidden realms in Nordic tradition.
