So you found one "goddess"? Who is this hel? Some obscure female goddess? Who in fact is not much of a god at all! In fact hel is likely a made-up goddess; ........."She’s generally presented as being rather greedy and indifferent to the concerns of both the living and the dead. ........Many scholars view Hel as a late feature of Norse heathendom, and likely an invention of the poets" Try this site - Norse Mythology for Smart People; norse-mythology.org They were friends with their gods epicure.

I like this Hel already. Here is some more on this goddess; orderwhitemoon.org Hel has fallen from her privileged position as guardian and ruler through years of being represented as an evil, ugly entity waiting to devour and torture lost souls. Ignorance as used Her as a means of scaring children and adults into a supposedly righteous path (instead of allowing free will to guide their actions to do what is right). May we learn and dispel the slander of years by seeing Her for the protector, judge, and guide that She originally represented.
