Loki's malice caused Baldur to die

But among the cheering gods, only one stood still, neither smiling nor shouting. That's Loki. Loki is jealous, why do gods and creatures love Baldur so much, and hate him so much. Loki's malice caused Baldur to die, although Baldur never once showed any hatred towards Loki.

So while the gods continued their harmless game around Baldur, Loki slipped away, disguised himself as an old woman with a limp, walked up to Queen Frigga's castle, started a conversation, and tactfully asked: "Are you sure? Does the queen achieve the promise of all things? I'm afraid it's not possible. Well, God Baldur is so wonderful, nothing to harm, but who knows, you have to be very careful to not regret it later."

Queen Frigga saw that the old woman was full of praise for her son, and she was very pleased, inadvertently deceived, and said:

"Old woman, indeed I have seen all things and have been promised by all, except for one very small thing. , it's harmless, so I'll let it go!"

The little old woman asked softly, "Isn't that what that harmless little thing is, my queen?"

"It's a tender mistletoe growing on a branch of an old oak tree east of Valhalla," said Queen Frigga honestly.

After hearing this, the old woman retreated, hurried to the eastern oak tree, immediately recognized the mistletoe, cut it down, and sharpened it into the shape of a green arrow. The old woman laughed sinisterly and said: "Ho ho, so there is only this branch of mistletoe left in all things, because it is so small that it is not necessary for a promise. So, mistletoe branch, today you follow my orders. but convey my "message of love" to Baldur!"

When the old woman returned to the plains of Ida, the fun continued with noisiness, only Hodur, Baldur's blind brother, stood alone in a corner as if forgotten. The old woman came over and asked in a hoarse voice why Hodur didn't join the fun. Hodur said sadly: "I was born blind, so despite my excess strength, I never used a weapon. In the current fun I don't see Baldur throwing, and there's nothing in hand to throw."

Loki said hoarsely, "I'm just an old woman who came to watch the fun with nothing. Here, I have this pretty sprig of mistletoe, take it and follow my lead.”

So the two joined the circle running around Baldur. When it was Hodur's turn to throw the soft mistletoe arrow, the old woman held it behind his elbow to help steer it. Her witchy hand made the pointed little arrowhead soar to its destination as quickly as light through the outer garment, through the inner garment, and finally pierced the heart. Baldur collapsed instantly. Loki slipped away. The mighty roar of the gods before the tragedy.

Horrified, Hodur asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong, did I do something wrong?"

The voices of the gods shouted: “You have killed your brother! Baldur is dead!"

Heimdall suspected

Hodur said chokingly, “Did I kill my brother? There was an old woman who gave me a small harmless twig and steered my elbow towards Baldur for me to throw around. That woman is a witch!”

When the gods heard this, they quickly scattered in all directions to find the witch, but she had disappeared. Only the wise Heimdall suspected and immediately guessed that this cruel act could not be caused by anyone but Loki.

Queen Frigga wept bitterly and asked the gods if anyone had gone down to the underworld to ask Hela to allow Baldur to return to Asgard. God Hermod quickly volunteered to find you (God Hermod is also the son of Odin). Hermod was allowed to use his father's horse Sleipnir. This horse has eight legs and runs faster than the wind. I walked nine days and nights into the abyss, the road was so dark that I could not distinguish anything from anything! Then Hermod reached the River Gyoll, galloping across the gilded bridge. The daughter kept asking for the god's name, and then complained that there were five groups of people who died across this bridge the day before, but the bridge was not moved by me alone. Then she asked: "But you are not dead, why go to hell?"

Hermod replied, “I came here to find my brother Baldur. Did you see my sister passing by here?"

The daughter replied, "Yes, Baldur crossed this bridge and followed the other way to the underworld."

Hermod continued on to the gates of Hell that were barricaded. Only then did Hermod take the reins firmly, then spurred the horse to leap over the gate. Hermod headed straight for the castle to meet Baldur. Baldur sat in a special armchair. Two brothers spend the night together. The next morning Hermod asked Hela's permission to let Baldur return, because all things without exception mourn Baldur. Hela replied: "Let's see if Baldur really is so loved by all? If indeed all mourn and cry, then Baldur will be resurrected. But one thing that doesn't mourn, Baldur will have to stay in the underworld forever."
