Hel Tarot Plaque painted Hel is the Norse goddess

Hel is the Norse goddess of the Dead - a shepherd and protector

then sanded them down to a clean feel (and the backs so the char is just for show

I initially thought this might be the Norns from Norse mythology but I am not sure now

the Plaque itself is actually scraps of bourbon barrel lids glued together

The only official key art was made with tons of complex patterns on it

Hel Tarot Plaque painted Hel is the Norse goddessHel is the Norse goddess of the Dead a shepherd and protector, mistress of Helheim, the home of the dead within Niffelheim, the realm of Ice. A child of Loki and Angraboda the Joten of the Ironwood, she is a guide, protector and therapist in my eyes she cares for the dead in a loving, careful way. She's important so I present this as a piece for her.
