[edit] Hollow
Well! I had no idea that I had my own article on Wikipedia! Wow! -however, I would like to point out that it is filled with mistakes! I have never heard that "seen from the back, she is hollow like an old tree-trunk". Lies! (..and it doesn´t match my picture, does it?) Soooooo, show some respect here, or else.......... And some of the other things you write about me.... <blush> Vicious slander and lies, all of it! Hmmmphr. I`m not the least ashamed of my tail... That´s pure slander!
I thought of editing the article, but it seems, well, so uncool (a very non-Huldra word, that). As if I was like one of the Bogdanov brothers or something. Hmmmphr. Btw: the most important thing about me (for me!) the article doesn´t mention: I´m soooo good in dealing with Trolls...... Regards, Huldra 01:32, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
- According to some legends, the Huldra is supposed to have a "hollow" which to me means something like a depression.Green Herring 01:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
I have changed the part about being "hollow like an old tree-trunk". The hulder isn't known for being depressed or having the backside of a tree trunk. I also miss a part about the hulder singing and luring men into the underworld or the woods, never to be seen again, which is a quite common factor in all hulder stories. ~Nini
[edit] Dancing Huldra at Kjosfossen
Quotes:
...meet "Huldra", a female creature from the underworld, starring in a summer attraction performance at Kjosfossen waterfall, based upon Norwegian folklore.
The highlight of the journey is the Kjosfossen waterfall, haunted in local legend by Huldra, a woman whose red dress concealed a cow's tail, which she could only shed by snaring a husband.
It's not real, if you get me here; and that was never the intention either. When you see a witch on Halloween, is she real or something (this does not apply to Wiccan/Pagan of course).

- There was no explanation or context for the image. Following your comments I've added this explanation. It's a good image. Imagine, say, in the Leprachaun article someone adds a photograph of a man wearing a tall green hat with a shamrock on it, labelled "A leprechaun in Ireland". This would only be confusing to readers. If the caption explained that leprachaun enactments were common during St Patrick's day celebrations it would make a lot more sense. (I'm making this up about leprechaun enactments). Anyway, the image looks good now. Fuzzypeg☻ 00:47, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
