Baldur

Baldur (or Baldr or Balder) is, in Norse mythology, a beautiful, wise, well spoken, and helpful God. He was the son og the Gods Odin and Frigga, married to Nanna, and together with her had the son Forsete. After many nightmares foreseeing his death, his ever-loving mother Frigga goes out into the world to fight fate. She speaks to all things living and dead, and make them all promise that no harm must come to her son. All, but the mistletoe promises this, for Frigga thinks the mistletoe is so small and innocent. When the gods amuses themselves by throwing everything and anything at Baldur (because he can no longer be harmed), Loki tricks his and Baldur’s brother Hod, the blind God of darkness, to play along. Hod shoots Baldur with an arrow wound with mistletoe by Loki, and dies immediately. At his funeral he is laid down on his boat, and when they set fire to him his wife Nanna dies of heart ache and is laid to rest alongside her husband.
