Norse Goddess Hel Wooden Statue – 18 cm Hand-Carved Viking Figure

Hel – Norse Goddess of the Underworld

Hel is the ruler of Helheim, the realm of the dead in Norse mythology. Daughter of Loki, she governs the quiet and inevitable side of existence — the passage between life and death.

Unlike chaotic destruction, Hel represents balance, transition and the natural cycle of endings and renewal. She is a powerful and complex figure within the Norse pantheon.

This 18 cm hand-carved wooden statue gives Hel a strong and grounded presence, making her an intense focal point for a Norse altar or dark mythology collection.

Hand-Carved 18 cm Wooden Statue

Carved from natural linden wood using traditional hand tools, this statue allows for deeper carving lines and expressive detailing. The larger 18 cm scale enhances the dramatic silhouette and symbolic features of the figure.

Finished with linseed oil and natural wax, the wood retains its organic warmth while preserving a natural, slightly raw aesthetic — perfectly suited to Hel’s dual nature.
