Looking for more great information on Norse mythology and religion? While this site provides the ultimate online introduction to the topic, my book The Viking Spirit provides the ultimate introduction to Norse mythology and religion period. References: [1] The Poetic Edda. The Prose Edda. Gylfaginning The most severe punishment he suffered was due to his direct connection to the death of god Baldur.
God Baldur was the most beloved God in Norse myth. Being the son of Odin and Frigg, Baldur was the god of light and justice. But he could not live to fight with Gods in Ragnarok as Loki on purpose indirectly murdered him. As Loki knew only mistletoe could hurt Baldur, he quickly found a mistletoe and turned it into a sharp arrow. Loki gave the arrow to the innocent and blind god Hodr and guided the blind god to throw the arrow into Baldur.
Got shot, Baldur died on the spot. As the Gods knew Loki was the one who conspired to kill Baldur, they wanted Loki to face the death sentence. Loki was punished many times by Norse gods. Freya also punished him for stealing her necklace. The Norse gods decided to kill Loki unless he cleaned the mess he made with the giant builder of Asgard wall.
He got away with the punishment easily with his intelligence. But not this time! During those moments, Loki is left unguarded, and the snake's venom splashes in his face. In torment, he shudders and writhes. This is the cause of earthquakes. When it is brimming, Sigyn carries the bowl away and empties it into a rock basin — a fermenting pool of poison. Loki is left unguarded; he screws up his eyes. The snake does not wait. He cannot escape and the whole earth quakes. I feel so sorry for Sigyn.
Like what did Narvi and vali do to deserve that fate? Well, you see, Skadi was in love with Baldur, and never forgave Loki for killing him. She wanted a special kind of vengeance to mirror her unending torment. Although Thiassi is at fault, Skadi might still have some anger burning within her. After her marriage to Njord, she was still upset. There was a bet that no one could make her laugh.
Loki succeeded by prancing around playing tug-of-war with a goat tied to his pardon me scrotum. Skadi laughed. Your email address will not be published. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
