Etymology

In Norse Mythology, Hel is the daughter of Loki and is the ruler of the land of the dishonored dead, which is named after her and occasionally called "Helheim."

The Grim Reaper is the personification of the concept of death in many western cultures. Sometimes shortened to Reaper, this personification usually appears as a dark cloaked skeletal figure wielding a scythe.

A Scythe is a common agricultural tool and became associated with the concept of death from the folk saint San Pascualito who was a skeletal figure wielding a scythe.
