Hunky nordic warriors8/30/2023 We hear of his death through the prophecy of a völva who is raised from her grave by Óðin. The All-Father asked her what Baldr’s ominous nightmares meant. While Óðin interviewed the sorceress, Frigg struck out to extract oaths from every being and object to never harm the shining prince. She skipped mistletoe however, considering it to be nonthreatening, or “too young” to take an oath. Through treachery, Loki has Baldr slain by his brother Höðr with a dart of mistletoe – to the horror of the gods.īaldr’s death had to be avenged, and Höðr appeared the villain, as Loki fled the scene of the crime and pinned the blame on Baldr’s brother. In a strange twist of events, Óðin seduces the goddess Rindr, who gives birth to Váli, who would henceforth be known as a god of vengeance. In a single day, Váli grows to adulthood and and avenges Baldr.Ī funeral pyre is prepared aboard Baldr’s wondrous ship, Hringhorni, and all the gods attend. Óðin climbs atop the pyre to give Baldr his magic ring, Draupnir. He whispers something into his dead son’s ears – the words are a secret for the ages, a riddle which features in later sagas. Once the pyre is lit, Nanna in her grief, throws herself on top, or alternatively dies of grief and is placed in the blaze. The ship is set to sea by the giantess Hyrrokin, who gives the ship such a push that fire flashes from the rollers and all of Miðgarðr shakes.Īfter the funeral, Frigg and Óðin send their son Hermóðr to ask Hel to release Baldr. Hel agrees, under the condition that all things weep for him. Frigga once again sweeps through the Nine Realms, and all agree to mourn the loss of the god … except for one: Þökk, who is Loki disguised as an old lady. Strangely enough, the realm is a sort of bunker in which Baldr, Nanna and Höðr are protected from Ragnarök. The three deities are fated to join Thor’s sons, Móði and Magni, along with Víðarr and Váli, in establishing a new and better world after the old one is destroyed.
