The myth of Loki and the deadly mistletoe – Iseult Gillespie

Discover the Norse myth of Baldur, the most beloved being in Asgard, and how the trickster god Loki plotted his death.

Baldur was the gentlest and most beloved being in all of Asgard. But lately, he had been plagued by gruesome visions foretelling his own imminent death. Determined to protect her son from these grim prophecies, Queen Frigg travelled across the nine realms, begging all living things not to harm Baldur— all living things except one. Iseult Gillespie shares the myth of the death of Baldur.

Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by WOW-HOW Studio.
