“The Huldra, the text read, is a forest spirit and seductress. She is beautiful, but under her long dress she hides a tail, usually that of a cow, but sometimes a fox. The Huldra can also have a hollow back like a rotted-out tree” — @kerimiller.bsky.social ‘s short story “Norwegian Wedding Dance” 💃🏻
