Hel: Death, Shadow & Stillness

Hel: Death, Shadow, and Sacred Stillness

This class explores the powerful and often misunderstood Norse goddess Hel. The guardian of the dead, keeper of ancestral realms, and embodiment of both decay and renewal. Daughter of Loki and ruler of Helheim, Hel teaches us that death is not an end, but a transformation. It’s one that exists in both the physical and spiritual worlds.

In this class, we will move beyond fear based narratives and step into a grounded, reverent understanding of Hel as a guide through shadow work, grief, and personal rebirth. Her energy is quiet, steady, and deeply honest. She will invite us to sit with what is often avoided and to find wisdom within it.

What we will explore:

• Who Hel is in Norse mythology and her role as a death goddess and caretaker of souls

• The symbolism of duality (life/death, decay/regrowth, seen/unseen)
