Baldur

Baldur is a god in Norse mythology, who is given a central role in the mythology. Despite this, his precise function is rather disputed. He is often interpreted as the god of love, peace, forgiveness, justice, light or purity, but was not directly attested as a god of such.Baldur, the son of Frigga and Odin, was the most handsome and noble of all the Gods. Forever appearing in the form of a beautiful young man, he was the God of Light and Spring, of all things Right and Good, the best loved among all Aesir. One morning, his mother awakened from a horrible nightmare. She had seen Hel, the Goddess who rules the underworld, take Baldur into her realm. Baldur too had been plagued by troubling dreams foretelling doom. So the Aesir held a meeting to make plans to forestall Baldur’s death. They decided that every creature in heaven and on earth must swear a holy oath to never do harm to Baldur. they were all celebrating by throwing weapons at Baldur that Frigg had forgotten mistletoe bushes and since that wasn’t in the oath and could harm Baldur Loki took this opportunity to kill Baldur by using his own twin brother (who was blind) to shoot Baldur with the mistletoe branch that Loki picked and killed Baldur instantly.
