Story 86: We Go to Hel

Muses of Mythology

“Snorri’s out here gatekeeping the real Norse mythology.”
Time to take a journey to Hel, which isn't too far from Midgard! That's fortunate since the dead have to arrange their own transportation.

Other topics include actually having the soul of the protagonist's mother before trying to make a deal, Darien leaving the recording not once but twice, directions to Hel, extrapolating cultural meaning from the differences in how souls arrive in the afterlife, Snorri doing his own thing (again), the conflicting requirements for a soul being sent to Hel, how Hel and Hades became Hell, and whether or not the Norse people actual had a goddess with the same name as their icy afterlife.
Spoilers for Thor: Dark World, SMITE, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Thor: Ragnarok, Angela Queen of Hel, Journey into Mystery, Marvel: What If…?, Doom Eternal, Warrior Cats, and Adventure Time: Together Again
Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about death, the afterlife, murder, and suicide
