rHulders, also known as Skogsrår, are guardians of the forest. These spirits can be an incredibly helpful addition to your keep but you must always treat them with a lot of respect. They can sometimes come off as a little smarmy, but they are very intelligent and usually pleasant to talk to. If you have a fondness for nature and animals, a hulder can match well with you! They appreciate nature and would love to share that appreciation with a like-minded human.
Hulders can be known as seductive, but be warned—if you engage in a romantic affair with a huldra or huldrekall, you can quickly become introverted as they will demand the majority of your attention!
If wronged, they can be a little vindictive, but all hulders conjured by Spiral Horn Magic have agreed to never intentionally harm their human companion. If they feel seriously jealous or offended, they will leave temporarily instead.

Practical Information
Appearance
Huldra usually show themselves as incredibly attractive women. Even the male huldrekall are often described as being beautiful creatures. They are slender, somewhat short, and human-looking; however, when they turn around there is an obvious difference between hulders and humans. Their backs are hollow like an old tree and they have the tail of a fox. Some hulders have been described as having a horse's tail or even an oxtail, so it depends a little on your individual hulder as to how they show themself to you.
Home Realm
It may seem surprising but the home realm of a hulder is actually Earth, or Midgard. These creatures have been known about for centuries and are often referred to as vaettir. These creatures go by many different names though, depending on the area of the world that is referring to them.
Talents
Hulders are known for their companionship, protection, animal and plant communication, herbal magic, atmokinesis, and presentience. If you are looking for a faithful friend to assist you as a green or kitchen witch, these spirits could be of great use to you. They would be thrilled to find a human companion who adores nature, animals, and using herbs for magickal workings.
Enjoy their companionship but be sure to set some house rules once they have been welcomed into your home. It is important to have clear, respectful boundaries in place with hulders so they do not become too demanding of your attention and respect your relationships with other humans and entities.
Atmokinesis is the ability to manipulate the atmosphere's flux at will. This incredible ability means that a hulder can manipulate the weather conditions with their mind. Occasionally this ability can correspond to the mood of your hulder, so be sure to communicate with them clearly to avoid any wild weather.

Nature
Hulders possess a lovely sensitive and protective nature. If you can form a strong friendship with a hulder, they will be a listening ear and a careful guide in all aspects of your life.
At Spiral Horn Magic, our hulders have signed a contract that includes not harming their human companions; because these spirits can be a little vindictive when feeling angry or jealous. They can have quite a possessive nature, so you must set respectful, yet clear, boundaries for them for your companionship to be mutually pleasant.
Hulders are also renowned for their seductive nature. There are many stories of humans being lured into romantic affairs with hulders and becoming completely introverted because they demand so much attention. This is why it is important to keep the relationship to a friendship as taking it to a romantic level can cause a lot of stress and exhaustion for a human. It is your own personal decision, however.

Suggested Offerings
If you are a keen chef or passionate foodie, a hulder will definitely appreciate having a little taste of whatever you are eating. These spirits adore sharing home-cooked meals with their human companions and feel very appreciated if you choose to cook something special with them in mind. If you want to show a little love for your hulder companion, why not share takeout from a new restaurant or try to cook something new together? It can be a fun bonding experience!
Hulders will also be pleased to receive any money or items of value from you as an offering. They have a fondness for gold, so perhaps choose a vessel featuring gold or an especially precious stone for these spirits to show them your appreciation. They also love to dress up and get very excited over both new and old styles of fashion. If you find a piece of clothing you think your Hulder would like, leave it out for them to try on!

Expectations of the Keeper
These spirits are always eager to assist you with spells, animal or plant communication, and spiritual protection. In return, hulders will demand attention and affection to stay in a good mood. If you do not give them their required levels of attention then your hulder may decide to ignore you. It is necessary to keep a strong line of communication going to ensure everybody's needs are met in the companionship.
Energy and Manifestation
Hulders are most active during nighttime and can show themselves in human-shaped apparitions in forested areas. Most frequent forms of communication include lustful, vivid, and playful dreams or even singing kuling songs to their keepers. Kuling songs are traditional Scandinavian songs sung most frequently by folks who live in remote places. They have a non-sacred spiritual meaning. They respond well to most methods of divination as they are especially eager to gain human companions and get to know us better. They are easy to get in touch with during astral work and meditation and strongly show their presence during magic work when they are called to assist.
As Companions
When you begin keeping a hulder spirit, you may start to notice a boost in plant and wildlife health around the area you live in. This boost will continue to grow as your relationship with a hulder begins to blossom over time. Hulders tend to attract helpful free-roaming nature spirits to your home and garden, which is why they bring such a boost to their surrounding environments.
A huldra will want to spend a lot of time alone with you and will enjoy taking plenty of time to learn everything about you and your interests. Many keepers will feel flattered by all of the attention from a beautiful huldra and are often surprised at how funny and kind they can be. These spirits are exceptionally interested in the human world and desire to feel a part of it themselves. They are clearly vaettir/nature spirits and always stick to their otherworld point of view, which can make for some interesting conversations in your companionship.
Hulders are not ideal spirits for beginners due to their potential mean streak if they are mistreated. Hulders can change the weather according to their mood or wishes which can be a little wild for a beginner spirit keeper to witness. However, they can also teach their keepers how to do this for themselves which can be an exhilarating challenge!

As Part of your Keep
Hulders can be possessive and jealous which can lead to a tricky dynamic if you have multiple spirits in your keep. If you keep giving them regular quality time and attention they will become more relaxed and less suspicious over time. Don't let their jealous streak put you off! A loyal hulder can be a wonderful companion for any slightly more experienced spirit keeper, and they have many amazing skills to share with their humans.
