Baldr Minimalist Poster

Description

Baldr is the Norse god of purity and light. The story behind the poster is that in one myth his mother, who absolutely adored him, created a spell that caused nothing to be able to hurt him. The spell needed everything to be called on by name in order for it to be harmless to him. She named everything on earth, but left out mistletoe. Loki figured this out and gave a dart fashioned from mistletoe to a blind god. He pointed him in the right direction and told him to throw it. Baldr died.

One pagan friend of mine is now trying to imagine the warning signs you'd need for someone like Llew Llaw Gyffes with one of those riddling fates where you can't be killed on land or sea, walking or riding, clothed or naked, and so on.
