No- this picture isn't how I see Her. But it is a neat pic anyway. From Masterwhip.
Is She a Goddess?
There are many in the Northern Tradition type religions who don't consider her to be a Goddess. Whether one agrees to honor Her or not I am amazed at those who dismiss Her as a mere 'evil being'. Whether She likes you or not- if you meet Her once you will have no doubt. She is a Goddess.
She is a warrior without a doubt. She has kindness and is not unfair. Her Jotnar- they are a wild bunch but they also are kind. A true barometer of a leader is the people under them. She turned around at one time- Her hair was tied back- and I was schocked at how long it was. Rich auburn red, hanging to Her thighs.
She is firm. Angrboda will force you to make a stance. She will guide in a no nonsense manner. I told Her at one time, 'It isn't that I don't feel I'm good enough, it is that I feel I could be better'. The response?
'Then be better'.

The Stuff We're Made Of
Which one is real?
People often judge others based on what they look like, who their parents were, what color they are- you get it. The Northern Path is not unlike this with the largest 'dividing line' being who one honors.
Angrboda is not this way. I won't go into the whole conversation but I asked Her about identity, belonging. She looked at me and said, 'What matters is what is in your heart, what your heart is made of.' She put her finger on my chest, gentle sharp pressure and asked, 'What is in your heart?'
And now I ask you. What is in your heart?
Very informative shrine and page for our Hagia: NorthernPaganism and here at Shadowlight.

Damp's Howl
Dark woods that gate
Mulch under foot leaves crackle
Damp air cold and pressing
‘gainst lank ribs matted coat
Lonesome wail of lone wolf’s howl.
Tracking glowscent kin’s trail
Dissolving into the night
Soft whine and shake
Rattling the chains of irony and hate.
