Baldr - God of Love and Light Baldr, Balder or Baldur is the God of Love and Light; he is the symbol of light, purity, beauty and joy. He is known for his exceptional kindness, making him a beloved deity among the gods and all living beings. He is son of Odin and Frigga. According to Norse myth, Baldr had a prophetic dream predicting his own death. Upon hearing of the dream, his mother secured an oath from all things in existence not to harm her son. But Loki, the trickster god, discovered the mistletoe was not included in the oaths. He tricked the blind god Hodr who threw a dart made of mistletoe at Baldr. It pierced his heart and he died, bringing sorrow to the gods and marking the beginning of Ragnarok - the battle between gods and giants. Some say that Baldr's return will restore peace.
