GRÝLA: THE GIANTESS, Winter 2023 - Available

“Grýla had three hundred heads, six eyes in each head, besides two livid and ghostly blue eyes at the back of each neck. She had goat’s horns, and her ears were so long as to hang down to her shoulders at one end, and at the other to join the ends of her three hundred noses. On each forehead was a tuft of hair, and on each chin a tangled and filthy beard. Her teeth were like burnt lava. To each thing she had bound a sack in which she used to carry naughty children and she had, moreover, hoofs like a horse. Besides all this, she had fifteen tails, and on each tail a hundred bags of skin, every one of which bags would hold twenty children.”
from 'Icelandic Legends' collected by Jón Arnason (translated by George E. J. Powell and Eiríkur Magnússon), 1864

Accompanied by marine familiars -crustaceans, deep sea fishes and hagfish that inhabit and scuttle amid the dank recesses of her weed shrouded form - once a decade she rises, this razor fanged goddess leviathan; intent upon the moon - that funereal orb hanging replesdent in the star shrouded heavens.

In a whirl of cavern stirred sea snow, this monstrous hydra emerges from her slumber to satisfy her appetite for wickedness - needle spined with twin luminescent appendages - luring helpless seafolk towards the hulking carnivorous tomb of her savage yawning jaws. 

All are her prey: devoured, digested and sea-changed; imprisoned amid the fetid cage of her ribs. This primeval behemoth, inspiring the worship of fools."

She enjoys nothing more than glutting herself on the flesh of wayward males, sucking the juicy morsels of flesh from their bones.
