Davidson adds that, on the other hand, various other examples of " certain supernatural women " connected with death are to be found in sources for Norse mythology, that they " seem to have been closely connected with the world of death, and were pictured as welcoming dead warriors ," and that the depiction of Hel " as a goddess " in Gylfaginning " might well owe something to these.

" Davidson adds that " yet this is not the impression given in the account of Hermod's ride to Hel later in Gylfaginning ( 49 )" and points out that here Hel " with authority as ruler of the underworld " and that from her realm " gifts are sent back to Frigg and Fulla by Balder's wife Nanna as from a friendly kingdom.

Davidson says that while attempts have been made to connect Sleipnir with hobby horses and steeds with more than four feet that appear in carnivals and processions, but that " a more fruitful resemblance seems to be on the bier on which a dead man is carried in the funeral procession by four bearers ; borne along thus, he may be described as riding on a steed with eight legs.
