Fenrir, the giant wolf of Norse Myth, is feared because of his strength. He has never hurt anyone, but because he could, he is called a monster by the gods. When the gods try to pre-emptively bind Fenrir so that he can do them no harm in the future, he easily breaks the strongest bonds. The gods resort to dishonesty and bind him with a magical fetter, breaking their promise to let him free once he has tested his strength.
At Weaver Camp 2026 we will celebrate the story of Fenrir! Fenrir’s experiences of prejudice, betrayal, unjust imprisonment, and seeking justice offer us a mythical lens for understanding our own times. His powers of strength, honesty, and endurance can give us courage.
