HLIN

Hlin is the shield of the people. When someone needs protection, Hlin comes forward. The way she is hewed here is when she lifts up man and saves him from himself and his thoughts. Usually, men protect women, at least judging from what can be seen in many pictures, stories and statues. Depending on the economic situation that we have had for the last 1000 years, it has been most profitable that women have been controlled by men. Today, as the era of communication has begun, the roles of the genders change, and it becomes more important to communicate than to control.

Hlin is saving man from the struggle for control. Information can then float freely over the borders and set out forth our world.

Place-names that likely come from Hlin are: Linköping in Sweden, Linslade and Linlithgow W Loch in England.
