Hjalti the Twice-Hanged: The Man Who Would Not Die
They tried to kill him twice.
The rope bit, the gallows creaked, and still Hjalti walked away.

Is he blessed by Odin, cursed by fate, or simply too stubborn to break?
This mythopoetic retelling explores Hjalti as a modern Norse legend: a man who refuses to bow to the noose, who walks with ravens and gallows-shadows, and who asks us a dangerous question - if you crossed death’s threshold and returned… what would you do with the life that followed?

Brynhildr: THe valkyrie who burned for love and vengence
She called to the living, and they answered in ruin.

When compassion stirred where duty demanded silence, Brynhildr’s wings were torn from the heavens, and exile reshaped her destiny.
