Hanns Lohrer: “Frau Holle” (“Mother Holle”, “Mother Hulda” or “Old Mother Frost”)

Frau Holle (also known as Holla, Perchta, Berchta, Berta, or Bertha) is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm in Children's and Household Tales in 1812. She was initially a pre-Christian legendary figure. The name may be cognate of the Scandinavian creature known as the Hulder (or Hulda). In Norwegian folklore, she is known as Huldra (though folklore presupposes that there is an entire Hulder race). She is known as the Skogsrå "forest spirit" or Tallemaja "pine tree Mary" in Swedish folklore, and Ulda in Sámi folklore. She may be the same being as the völva divine figure Huld and the German Holda.

OC HC: Locke is the goddess/god of Merriment, (Gaiety and fun, mirth,Tomfoolery etc ; synonyms of Tomfoolery:Mischeif,Tricks, Harleyquinade, Antics, etc.)

Tricks, cunning and magic,witchery,and all illusions, life, Hope, rebirth, love&lust, and etc(explain rest later.)

Locke Skrymir is the huld/huldra daughter to utgard loki and huld Odin's mistress I thought of what if? She wasn't the mistress of odin, but the mistress to utgard loki disguised as odin.

Locke is also the huldra daughter to Eve and she has 2 other dad's that her other mother eve is very familiar with. Since loki is brains and mind, thor is brawns and strength, so this would make locke the heart and Beauty, the "glue" that sticks them together. Locke and her brother loki are like two halves of the same coin.(similairities in clothing,independence, authority, and style💚.Mischeif and merriment)

As for her big sis hela, since locke can bring life she can also take it away if she wished to(locke goddess of merriment and tricks is like a combo Rapunzels healing incantation song that brings life and also her hurt incantation that brings death locke's hair is both dark like loki's and hela's but also bright blonde like thor and her other big sis Sylvie.) She's like baby sis that is grown, but they treat her like an angel also her crown is like a combo of loki and his wife sigyn's crown.

Hi there, I wondered if you could tell me anything else about the Herðslustafir? The only real information I can find about it is in your excellent translation of the Huld manuscript, which contains the description "Strengthening symbols. Carry these symbols on your left chest, in order to strengthen up the mind." Do you know any more information about it? Does it appear in any other sources? Is the = symbol between the two part of it? Love the blog, by the way.

Herðslustafir / uppherða stafir

Here is an alternate version from an unknown author, dated a few years after the Huld manuscript version:

“These staves should be borne on the chest to strengthen the mind.”

The keywords Herðslustafir, herða upp and herðu all initially translate to the hardening of iron metal. Herða also is translated as “to cheer”, “to comfort” and “to hearten” although, these all imply action towards another person.

Hugann refers to the “mind, with the notion of thought”. Yet, it can also refer to a person’s “mood, heart, temper, feeling, affection” thus making it not entirely certain what the intended effect is.

This open interpretation allows the user to apply it broadly for uses ranging from steeling one’s resolve to lifting their mood.

As can be seen with this version, it does not include the “=“ in the middle, so in Huld it can be assumed it was added to show the two staves work side by side but is otherwise not part of the whole. The only other difference is a small vertical line, the purpose of which to me is unknown. All the rest of the design links strongly to the “three multiple”, heavily used in many Icelandic staves to enhance effectiveness. The text is pretty much the same although it omits the more specific “left chest”. 

I should add here that this version is supported in another manuscript dated 1868, scribed by the son of the man who created the Huld manuscript. That version differs from the above only by the placement of the small vertical on the upper horizontal line. Its text is identical to the Huld.

For those unaware of my Huld manuscript translation, you can find it on the Source page I’ve linked below.
