Learn from the "Nude" (Näcken)Näcken lives in the streaming waters of the rivers and water falls. He does not wear any clothes, and his name goes hand in hand with sexuality. He plays the most wonderful violin. He may lead you astray and draw you into the river, if you are not careful... This is how you can learn his skills Put your violin under a bridge a Thursday night, Next morning there are two violins hanging under the bridge, you should now be careful and take your own. The violin of "Näcken" can only be played on by himself. Other sources claim that you should play on a crossroad three Thursdays
in a row. On the third Thursday he will come and ask for your soul, if
you give it to him, nobody that you play for will be able to stop dancing
as long as you are playing.
