Hi group I thought you might enjoy this map I made
this is amazing!
Wow I would totally frame this! Awesome job! Do you have other regions?
Var alltid redd for nøkken da jeg var liten når jeg bada i innsjøer.
Hva med huldra?
Not to be “that” person, but Finland and Iceland isn’t in Scandinavia. Only Norway , Sweden and Denmark.
Where’s Gamle-erik and Dodraugen? Those were terrifying in my youth.
Is the top left island Svalbard?
Love this!!! Beautiful! How did you create this? Did you create it on a tablet, on computer, with illustrator? Love the look
Those Draugr are always a pain in GOW.
This is amazing! Where did you learn about all of these regional mythic creatures?
Where did you get your sources for this? Especially the names for these creatures?
I didn’t know my friend was a beast. Thx
Huh, I only knew Stallo as the name of a computing cluster…
The fuck is mørksuggan?
What about Nøkken and Huldra?
Amazing work. Lately I’ve found Mara/the old hag to be especially fascinating as I’ve been fighting her several times when I’ve been having sleep paralysis.
What about Rumpeguro and Jormungandr?

well, at least i get mermaids.
Stallo?
I like how vuorenpeikko is situated in literally the flattest part of finland
I have no idea what a Dunker is. And i live in that general area.
Can I order a print of this? It’s great!
You should cross-post i coolguides! Awesome work
Dunker? What is that?
Where can I find more info on these? I have read a few books on Northern European mythology but other than minor Celtic beings, they were dominated by the doings of the gods.
i dont see huldra
Feel like this video is very related, classic clip of what is supposed to be a “nisse” caught on camera in the middle of the night. The clip is from the late 80s or early 90s. I remember seing this when it surfaced again around 97/98…anyone else remember this? Seems hard to fake a thing like that on video in those days, I don’t know… The “nisse” is visible from 2:16.
Bonus: The old lady being interviewed is Margit Sandemo, a swedish author who wrote a series of 54(!) books in the 80s about the paranormal world in scandinavia, called ‘The legend of the ice people’. She was very much a believer in the paranormal.
My grandmother used to scare me with stories about Beinlaus (Boneless=the wind) when the strong winds rattled the house
Eek, the Draugr are exactly where I live, I’m sleeping with one eye open tonight 😨
This is so awesome!
Super interesting. Are these tied to the mythology of the region? Are the ones in Finland part of the sueomonesko pagan faith? So many questions haha
Great artwork!
Thanks to my Norwegian grandparents and their wealth of spoken folktales, I’ve been fascinated by these creatures since my earliest childhood memories. During one of our earlier visits to Norway, I was given a really cool book, that to this day remains one of the most comprehensive, descriptive guides to the various “hidden residents” of Norway I’ve ever read.
I have the 1970 printing, which is shockingly expensive now, but I found a later ’79 printing that’s much more affordable. (Both on Amazon).

Finland and Iceland are not a part of Scandinavia.
Fennoscandia includes Finland but not Denmark and Iceland.
These are the Nordic countries.
Only Norway, Denmark and Sweden are Scandinavia.

Hvem lagde dette? Fordi dette er fantastisk
What about dragons? I don’t see them..
Yo is that Santa Clause in Visby?
Great map, but Krølle-bølle is probably more accurate for Bornholm
