Hamingja
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, hamingja (Old Norse "luck"[1]) refers to two concepts; the personification of the good fortune or luck of an individual or family, and, secondly, refers to the altered appearance of shape-shifters. Both Andy Orchard and Rudolf Simek note parallels between the concept of the hamingja and the fylgja.[2]
