Description
Loki spake:"Thou wilt then, Frigg,
that further I tell
Of the ill that now I know;
Mine is the blame
that Baldr no more
Thou seest ride home to the hall."

I just did a paper on Baldr (contrasting both Snorri's and Saxo's accounts, specifically) for my Scandinavian Mythology class because I'm such a big fan of the story and of Norse myth in general. Just stumbled across your art today, and I must say it's refreshing to find depictions of Loki not in the style of the Marvel movie version. Love your style.

I was thinking about how I didn't know the story of Baldr's death just the other day, then a day later you post this and honestly, if this isn't a sign for me to go and read the damn story, nothing is. Beautiful art, as always

i never managed to understand why Loki didn't shot the arrow himself and had Frigg do it for him ._.

Gorgeously done! Though I have many suspicions about the truth behind this particular tale....

Oh Lord... please don't let me be misunderstood. ( Eric Burdon and the Animals ). I think that Loki was just a prankster and this particular prank went seriously wrong. oops it's Ragnarok. sorry... I don't think he meant for the blind giant to actually kill Baldur. I hate it when a prank goes wrong.

loki had full knowledge that the mistletoe would kill baldur. he had asked frgig what could harm him because he'd grown jealous of baldur

I can easily see it happening that way. I can also see Loki having nothing to do with Baldur's death, but getting all the blame despite that. And I can see Baldur totally having it coming....

Truly a sad scene in the mythology... Peter Madsen made a nice version of it though!
