Learnings: Hamingja: A Family Spirit

A Ghostly Woman, concept art made by Jeff Simpson / Contemporary

Luck could be shared with family and friends, but it had its limits. The hamingja had to be reated with care and respect. If a person or a family behaved badly, their luck could turn and their prosperity end.

Legends said that hamingja often appeared as a giant, ghostly woman, like this one created in concept art.
