Love all of that, thank you Tias! I am really fascinated by both the fylgja and hamingja concepts. The idea of the former is just delightful as someone who has always had a strong bond with non-human people (bet you can't guess which species the most); and the latter has a lot of personal resonance as well, born from lived experience. I assume I am not the only person who has ever mentally mocked up a real life "character sheet" for themselves. I have long privately maintained my character sheet would have a trait where my natural luck stat was loving garbage for the first period of my life, and then if I survived long enough it sort of levelled out, and then after that it started multiplying like wild. In relation to the metaphysics with which I am familiar, there are a number of factors contributing to this , but "luck" as an aspect of self is a really tidy category! Being a personal aspect that is passed through lineage also makes a lot of practical sense. Even today, we all can see it's far easier for someone with a literal great family fortune to get ahead in life than a person whose family has experienced difficulties for generations.
