Eir was a goddess of healing in the Norse pantheon. She's sometimes attributed to the Valkyries, as well as being a hand maiden of Freya. A common herb used for healing by the Vikings was Angelica.

I didn't know much about Norse mythology but the other day I was doing a research about non-Greek (the mythology I know better) Gods and Goddess of healing and found out about Eir. I found her very very interesting, but it has been really hard to find good art of her. This piece is fantastic and sets an amazing view of this Goddess :heart:

I like looking at less known myths and illustrating them :)
