- Personal guardian spirit, or "warden," that accompanies an individual from birth to death

Brief Bio

In Norse mythology and folklore, a Vörðr (plural varðir or verðir) is a personal guardian spirit, or "warden," that accompanies an individual from birth to death. A Vörðr is a spiritual entity that acts as a protector, often reflecting the person's individual characteristics and sometimes appearing in various forms like an animal, light, or even a vague human shape. The spirit's purpose is to watch over its charge, potentially warning of danger, and its appearance is said to offer insight into a person's future and spiritual nature.
