Step into a tranquil fantasy realm beneath the branches of Yggdrasil, where even death is guarded with care. “The Dog That Guards the Gate of the Dead” explores the legend of Garmr, the silent hound of Helheim in Norse mythology. Unlike monsters who bring chaos, Garmr represents order — a guardian whose task is not violence, but vigilance. Bound at the entrance to the realm of the dead, Garmr listens. He watches. And he waits. In Norse belief, death was not a punishment or a terror. It was a place with rules, boundaries, and guardians. Garmr reminds us that endings, too, deserve respect.
