34 fylgie
fylgie( Follower) As well as the Norns, or Fates, the Norse ascribed to each human being a guardian spirit or double, which accompanied a person throughout his or her life. The fylgie had a human or animal shape but was invisible except in dreams or at the moment of death. When the fylgie appeared to a person who was awake, it was a sign of that person’ s death. When a person died, the fylgie passed on to another member of the family.
