    Baldr real meaning
    • Baldr Real Meaning: Tr...
    Every God/deity/character in the Norse myths had a translation and real meaning. When we start to understand this, we can see that the Norse pagan myths were not just a bunch of unbelievable stories meant to entertain children. We should not assume that our ancestors were that dumb to actually believe in these things. All of the myths and gods symbolize real things in nature, the cosmos, universe and spirituality. Although we don't know exactly what these myths represent all of the time and theories are debated, we have to look at these things to determine the most logical ones and discover the real truth.

    With Hodr translating as Killer/slaughter could he also have be linked to slaughtering farm animals at the end of the summer?

      Good point. Hadnt thought of it that way. Its probably also partly that. Thats when the sacrifices happened too at this time of year.

    I like this theory better than his who most not be named. It makes more sense to me. I am not sure about the rite he talked about...but then, I wasn't there and didn't grow up in Norway with Norwegian folk customs. So I dunno, but this is simpler to me.

      Yes I do like "his" theory. But there is some holes to it. I think he drew mostly upon parralells among the Kóryos practices. Really interesting.

    I'm Wiccan and there seems to be an ancient way of thinking that's inherited into Wicca, darkness doesn't necessarily mean evil but just as it says....dark. Just as the day is bright, night is dark but that doesn't make night fundamentally evil. Anyway, that's how we think.

    So when Hodr doesn't come back after Ragnarok, maybe Ragnarok is the end of the ice age... What possibly is what's happening right now.

      Yes. Happening now.........Or going to happen soon. Ice ages always come in periods of 12,000 years. We are due for one now. Lets see!

    How often do people assume you're a hippie type? Cause my hair is just as long, and so is my beard. Recently I got called a hipster Smith, on my Blacksmithing channel, and it kinda made me perturbed lol. And not to say all hippie/hipster types are bad cause there are some really cool people among them. Some are cultists, but that's a story for a different day.
