Sleep with Mythology

The Tale of the Death of Balder (Norse mythology)


Listen Later

In the hushed, moonlit realm of Asgard, we gather in the silent company of gods and myths, unfolding the poignant saga of Balder, the luminous god of light. The whispered prophecies and fateful strands woven by Frigg to protect her son echo with a palpable mixture of hope and heartache, as every element of earth pledged safety to the cherished deity. Yet, amid joyous revels and deceitful shadows, a simple mistletoe—a mere oversight in a mother’s spell—sets off a chain of sorrow that dims the divine twilight, foretelling a time of reawakening. Join us as we drift into the serene yet stirring echoes of an ancient grief that promises both an end and a new dawning.This episode is hosted by Abigail Johnson.
