The Jævndøgn Ghosts are said to appear around the autumn equinox, when daylight and darkness briefly stand in balance and the first heavy morning fogs begin to settle across the Nordic landscape.

Their pale, mist-grey forms are crossed with wandering shades of berry, wine and darkened fruit colours remembered from hedgerows, fallen leaves and the last ripening things of the season. No two carry the markings in quite the same way.

Old accounts place their arrival in orchards, field margins and quiet roads shortly before dawn, where they are easiest to mistake for low fog until they begin to move.

Svala is a ghost of the equinox hush, when the berry-red of autumn begins to show through the pale morning mist. Her markings recall bramble, wind-struck leaves, and the brief flashes of colour found in hedgerows at first light. She is said to appear where the air feels suddenly cooler, as if the season itself has just passed by.

Svala the ghost figurine stands at just short of 8 cm in height.
