Hugin and Munin Stories - Sleep Stories for Adults - Episode 7: The Twilight of Helheim

Welcome to Hugin and Munin Stories. Our stories are based on authentic Norse myths and Scandinavian folk tales, ensuring a genuine and enriching experience. Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day or seeking a peaceful escape into the past, our narrations offer a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

This tale tells the story of the shadowy realm of Helheim, beyond the mists of time. There lies the domain of Hel, the stern and unyielding ruler of the underworld in Norse mythology. Helheim, unlike the fiery hells of later tales, is a place of somber stillness where those who did not die gloriously in battle reside.

Hel, born of Loki and the giantess Angrboda, with her half blue-black and half flesh-colored skin, embodies both life and death. As Ragnarök approaches, Hel prepares for the impending chaos by summoning ancient spirits and finding unlikely friends.
