Joukahainer-Frost Giant of Finland

Joukahainer Frost Giant of Finland-
The Joukahainer is the name of a Frost Giant in the mythology of

Finland. Joukahainer were vast beings who had developed from the melting of that great icicle in the furthermost part of the world. He inhabited the icy wastelands of the north until the culture hero by the name of Vainamoinen swam ashore and started to clear the land where the Great Frost Giant lives, with planted food and crops too. This of course enraged the Frost Giant of Finland, who came to kill the hero Vainamoinen who had swam ashore to start to clear the land for food for his people. But Vainamoinen was well versed in the magic. Which he used against the great giant of Finland by holding the rainbow as his bow and shot hawks as arrows, then the arrows came  at the Great Frost Giant Joukahainer it turned the

Giant into a vast pillar of ice that was condemned to melt into the tundra beneath him. 

But before Vainamoinen shot the Magick arrows, holding the

rainbow as a bow, the Grand Giant of Finland bellowed out a plea,  before the fatal shot, that he would promise to give Aino, his sister, as  a Vainamoinens wife if he would let him go free!
However, there was a bit of a problem with that idea! Aino was horrified with the idea of becoming Vainamoninen's wife so she killed herself before the marriage could ever happen. This didn't stop Vainamoinen quest for a wife in the land of the Ice Giants in Pohjola. But it seems that no-woman would have him for a husband.
It seemed that wasn't the worst of his problems, It seems that the Frost Giant Joukahainer was after our hero again, blaming him for the death of his sister. The boat that Vainamoinen swan out to, was destroyed by the Joukahainer Frost Giant and then left out to drown in the frozen seas to die, but luck was on our hero side. He was rescued and Joukahainer returned to his icy castle in the far north. 
This is a legend of the Giants that I found in a great Book I hope that you will  like this my dears... Wendy -ooo) 

Typhoon-Ravaged Philippines Villages- Still Celebrating Christmas

Typhoon-Ravaged the Philippines Villages- Still Celebrating Christmas the best that they can!
In 2013 the Philippines Villages were Ravaged with a ENORMOUS! Typhoon. But they are doing the best that they could during the holiday season even though their islands were hit very hard with the huge Typhoon and so much lost of family members, homes, food and water. They still manage to find ways to celebrate the Christmas Spirit of the Children of the Villages. 
In one of the photo's it shows a father that visits the grave of his wife, children and grandchildren along with two of his only grandchildren that survived the typhoon. This one father of so many will face a gloomy Christmas with the loss of 22 members of his family when the Super typhoon Hiayan that swept ashore on November 8, 2013. And reducing basically everything in its path to nothing but rubble.
To help the people of the Philippines more, here is a link 
<http://world.time.com/2014/12/25/typhoon-ravaged-Philippines-villages-celebrate-christmas/#ixzz2q3J74rr9>
I just wanted to post a little bit of what these kind folks have gone through, just like that kind folks of Haiti who are still struggling from their Ravage Typhoon. Now another Typhoon has struck again and left over 300,000 people if not more lost, lots of them have died of being swept out to sea. Many of the children are without parents because of them being killed in the Typhoon. So I pray for these wonderful  people and I hope you all will too. I pray that there will be no more of these killer Typhoons but it's hard to tell in the world today. I know I don't do this kinda thing, but sometimes you just have to take notice and pray.

The Huldra~

The Huldra~
The Huldra is said to be many different Legends/Myths the first one that I came across is the beautiful human looking troll from Norse folklore. These female Huldra trolls usually have long blonde hair and some were a crow feather around their body as flowers. The only thing that separates her from humans is the tail of a cow which is why most men flee when they see her. 
She was known to seduce young unmarried men and take them into the thick mountains, where she wouldn't let them go unless they would marry her.

However, if a man did marry her in a church - In the name of God as the tales were told, she would then suddenly turn into a ugly woman,but return she would and gain the strength of ten men if not more.  She would lose her tail too. 

Another Tale of this same Female Huldra Troll~

 

It is said that the Huldra is much smaller than that of the Jaette Troll. The

Huldra trolls are usually very beautiful blonde women and often

naked, most of the time. They look very human like - The only thing  that would show that they are a Magick Creature or Troll is their tail which they will hide. These beautiful women troll - like humans will use the environment of nature in which they live and protect to make clothes to hide their tails. So that they can lure men as a human female. 
Their species have been known to untreated human males by their beautiful voices and their love appearance too.

 

Sometimes even naked to do their bidding or simply as mates or pets.
These Huldras will hold the poor males under a spell for many

many years. Sometimes males are released or some manage to escape and they can be often found wandering in the deep wildness, not remembering what had happened to them or the time that has laps by.If you are adventurous and want to hear the huldra's song, then you need to travel to a place called  Myrdal, located nearby Voss in western Norway. Then take the Flamsbana railway train. Remember to fasten yourself to a rope to the train, because somewhere in the
middle of your travels down the emerald waters of Sognefjord you will hear the song of the Huldra or even get a glimpse of one of these naked beauty's who will be calling upon you to come them. And you won't be able to stop yourself.. Sometimes the rope don't even save you.

 

In the legends of the Scandinavia, there is another type of

Huldra called
a Slattenpat or a Jotun Huldra troll. It was also called the Wild Hunt for these female trollkin. These Huldra Trolls are not beautiful human-like, in the above  described, of  the first legend of these Magick Creatures Trolls. The Slattenpat Trolls are best described as massive in size, hideous looks, with breasts so long and shaggy that she slings them over her shoulder to run faster. She has large pointed ears, brown spots all over her body, quite hairy all over and two horns protruding from her forehead.

 

Another Type of  Huldra; is the Scandinavian Elf Huldra. These Magick Creatures inhabit the Woods, Bogs and Hills. They are also known as

Skogsra mainly in Sweden and Ellefolk -Danish. These

Huldra's are young women and are described as stunning and very beautiful. Almost to strikingly beautiful, but they have a hollow-tree  trunks as their backs. Inside their hollow-tree trunk back is where twigs, dead leaves of even worms and maggots might live. You can even see the skeleton spinal cord right through their backs. This would make sense to me, why they are the Elfin Huldra; I believe that no other Creature could live with an opening like that.. Of course, this is only my opinion  These I believe these are the most beautiful of all the Huldra trolls..  
It is also said that these Elfin Huldras seduce and enthrall men with their dance. There are legends of men joining these beautiful Elfin Hudras in dance, then losing their sense of time [this could be a day; two a year; two hundred years] And the dance is death. Being that they are Elves and of the Fae World; they always leave a faiy-rings of mushrooms growing wherever they have danced.

Finally the last Huldra that I found Is a Humanoid with fox ears and fox tails, and sometimes Not always as the legends goes, their backs can resemble an old tree bark. Now this could be either hollow or not. She too is the Keeper and Protector of the Woods and Forests. As all beautiful Huldra's, the Fox Huldra will lure men out into the forest just as the others.. I found this one fascinating. I hope you all do to my Dears.
I found it interesting that there were many different types of this Magick Creature if you will. 
I hope all is well with all of you much love -ooooo)
Your Wendy
