Hel – Talisman of the Underworld Veilwalker
For boundary keepers, soul tenders, and those who walk between worlds in their dreams.
This driftwood talisman foraged from Ironwood Swamp is dedicated to Hel, the Norse goddess of death and the underworld. Daughter of Loki and ruler of the realm of shadows, Hel is not a bringer of death, but a sovereign over it—offering rest, reflection, and reverence for what’s been shed. She is the keeper of truths too wild or wounded to survive the light, and she teaches that every ending contains its own unshakable dignity. She is unafraid to step into every unknown.
The piece is woven from natural, contrasting fibers—black, storm blue, bone, and ash-white—symbolizing the sacred rhythm of light and shadow, day and night.
Each element carries its own frequency of protection and deep spiritual symbolism:
•Howlite + Snowflake Obsidian: A pairing of stillness and pattern, these stones help you hold duality with grace. Howlite calms grief and opens spiritual channels; Snowflake Obsidian clears energetic patterns rooted in trauma and shadow.
•Clear Quartz: Amplifies spiritual intention and cleanses the space around the talisman.
•Glass Beads in Midnight and Storm: Echo the shifting emotional landscapes Hel rules over.
•Wooden Beads (17 total): A sacred number of movement and transitions, perfect for use in breathwork or mantra recitations.
•Silver Charms (Pentacle, Crescent Moon, Star): The pentacle offers elemental balance and protection. Celestial charms keep you tethered to cosmic rhythms as you journey through the unseen.
•Intention Braid (Protection Focused): Woven from soft storm yarn with protective intention—each plait made in ritual, calling on Hel’s ability to hold firm boundaries, sever attachments that no longer serve, and guide safely through transformation.
Hang this talisman on your altar, over a threshold, or near where you dream. It is a veilwalker’s companion, here to witness what you’re releasing, protect your transitions, and hold the quiet truths only darkness reveals.
