Will always be a little wild seeing that picture with so many names for it. Until I was like 30, I just knew it as "Nøkken", singular creature, a guy and sometimes a horse, in Norwegian folklore

Absolutely get why it's such a widespread tale, it's just always a mild "woah"

Theodor Kittelsen, the master of horror
For many a Norwegian child, nothing is more scary than the idea of Nøkken, the water sprite, or Pesta, the bringer of plague. And the artist who shaped their image of those bogeymen more than any othe...

Here we know it as nøkken, and this sketch by Kittelsen enamoured me ever since I learnt about it

Looking for a nykr, or nix. My mother used to scare me with Nøkken. It was the first spirit I heard of (beside Jesus)

Yes, it’s bad, he drowns people but (she didn't tell me 😤) he can also teach you tunings on the fiddle that force people to dance all night 😅

Nymphaea alba. Hvit nøkkerose in Norwegian. Leaves and flowers floating on a lake. There are small waves making the scene a bit unrestful. The sunlight is reflected in the leaves, making them look white.

Okay, kanskje dei er redde for blindpassasjerar? Eller at nøkken skal klatre opp og stele badehandkleet? Eller sinte klatrekrabbar?

Men vanlegvis er det for å hindre at stigen blir full av blåskjell og anna tilgroing, og for å beskytte for bølger og is, har eg blitt fortalt etter fadesen på torsdag

Altså mylingen ER der jo ligesom som ghost story i Emil fra Lønneberg. Nøkken er i "Alle vi børn i Bulderby". Vi må kunne skabe noget her 😁

What on earth is this?

A small, hand pulled cable ferry.

And yes, I did go back and forth. Fun but a lot of work.
Small, wooden, cable ferry, viewed from to dock, looking out over the river. The ferry is labelled, Nøkken. Trees and the other dock on the other side. Same ferry viewed from the other side with cables lying in the water.

Et poetisk formulert svar:
Skjermbilde av side 31 i «Sesam, sesam 1: Lesebok ABC». Illustrasjon av en nattergal som synger, et vann med to personer i en kano, nøkken som spiller fiolin ved et fossefall og liljer. Dikt av Lennart Hellsing: «Nær er natten. Natter-galen synger nå i Sommer-dalen. Nattfiolen sender duften ut i bleke natte-luften. Dette kan vel ingen love: å bruke natten til å sove!»

Some of you may not be familiar with Näcken/Nøkken, but all you really need to know about it is that if you ever come across a naked dude playing violin in the water - Do not approach!

We call them "Nøkken" in Norwegian. Theodor Kittelsen was Norwegian =)

In Norway (where this painting is from) this is called Nøkken.

Notez aussi qu’une des illustrations phares de Johan Egerkrans pour Nordiska Väsen est très inspirée du Nøkken (l’équivalent norvégien de Näcken) de Theodor Kittelsen. 3/3

Fun fact about me. I go slightly insane after 9 pm. Hence the nixie-based mania you're witnessing:
Cropped version of the painting "Nøkken" by Theodor Kittelsen of the famed Nixie, with the text "Nøkken" in capital letters layered on top, set in Arial black, outlined with white. A stock photo of a modern kitchen overlayed with the text "I ditt kjøkken" similarly written in all caps, being norwegian for "In your kitchen". The hairy head of the nixie that peaked out of the lake in the previous image has been poorly image manipulated into peering out of the sink instead.

Hvem slikker sig mest om munden? Huldren? Nøkken? Elverpigerne? Slattenlangpat? Eller Mosekonen?

Draugen er ikkje nøkken, nb nb nb.
Nøkken er forførande (og ferskvatnsbasert).
Draugen ser ut som eit sjølik med ein tangkvase til hovud, som ror i ein halv båt, og viss du ser han, betyr det at du skal døy.
Det er UFATTELEG at nokon av god vilje har kalla opp nokon etter han.
