Mythology 101So the story goes (oh, and this is for the official record apparently) something a little like this:
Frigga, wife of Odin the All-Father, loved her youngest son best and most of all. Of course, who couldn’t love Baulder the Beautiful. He radiated joy, beauty, and goodness everywhere he went (sickening, isn’t it?). Not wanting anything to happen to her beloved child, Frigga went out to every being in the realms and asked it to pledge an oath to her vowing never to hurt Baulder. Every being of the realms swore to never injure Baulder.
All except one... (and isn’t that always the case?) the mistletoe.
But Frigga never worried about not finding the mistletoe, for it was such a delicate and tiny plant that she didn’t see how could it ever hurt her son Baulder. So Frigga felt ass
