Huldra the Hulder
Brothers of the hunt beware
When stalking deer and bear
For among the tall pine timber
That surround Sognefjord’s
Emerald North Sea water
There dwells in this boreal forest
A most charming enchanting
Exquisitely stunning sorcerous
A troll known as Huldra the Hulder
Daughter of Loki and a Valkyrie
She’s a warrior and huntress
With eagle like eyes and
A thick shimmering mane
Of long scarlet hair
She has the tail of a fox
And the body of Goddess
Both a beautiful woman
And handsome beast
She is desperately lonely
With deep corporal needs
In a voice that siren’s envy
She calls to men like you and me
Singing songs that are beyond lovely
They beacon in sweet pleas,
“Mighty hunter, come make love to me!”
However, beware of her charms
For once you’ve fallen into her arms
You must quench this wench’s fire
Before satisfying your own desire
For Huldra the Hulder will erupt
In a tirade of horrible anger
And then you will suffer
The fate many of her past lovers
You, my young friend
Will become her dinner!

Author's Note
My grandfather, who was from Bergen Norway, would often tell me Scandinavian folk stories. The story of Huldra was one of his favorites. Of course, in his version he claimed he actually encountered her. As to the authenticity, I can't say. But I will state, that stories of forest Norwegian forest seductress sure beats any American versions of Bigfoot.
