Widar, the son of Odin and the giantess Grid, is a god associated with silence and vengeance. He was called “The Silent One” because he spoke only when it was absolutely necessary. In Germanic mythology, he is depicted as a god of immense strength and unwavering determination.
He resided in a peaceful grove called Widi, which was constantly overgrown with vegetation because Widar preferred to travel the world on horseback.
Widar symbolizes renewal and a new beginning, as he was one of the few who survived the apocalyptic end of the world. During Ragnarök, he will avenge his father by killing Fenrir, crushing the wolf’s lower jaw with his boot, and then tearing its mouth apart with his hands. In the new world, he will be one of the ruling gods, and together with his half-brother Wali, they will raise temples for the gods.
Freyr, the twin brother of Freyja, is the god of vegetation, harvest, fertility and peace, but also the patron of marriage and prosperity. He was called the noblest god, loved by all.
His attribute was a magic sword that could fight on its own, as well as the golden boar Gullinbursti, which could run faster than any horse and glowed in the dark.
According to belief, he gave up his sword to win the heart of his beloved giantess Groi, which consequently led to his death at the hands of the ruler of the Flaming Giants during Ragnarök.
Týr is revered as the divine patron of combat, valor, and justice. He is often referred to as the “one-armed god” due to the loss of his hand during a daring attempt to subdue the wolf Fenrir.
Anticipating the threat posed by Fenrir, the gods enlisted the dwarves to forge a net, both delicate and incredibly strong. In a ruse to ensnare Fenrir, the gods proposed that he allow himself to be bound by the net, but the wolf consented only on the condition that a deity place a hand in his mouth as a sign of trust. Upon realizing he had been tricked, Fenrir retaliated by biting off Týr ’s hand, who had bravely volunteered for the perilous task.
In the lore of Germanic mythology, it is foretold that during Ragnarok, the end of the world, Týr will confront Garm, the ferocious guardian of the underworld realm of Hel. This epic battle is destined to end with both combatants perishing.
Baldur, son of Odin and Frigg, is the god of light, beauty, goodness and wisdom. He was considered the most beautiful and favorite of the gods. He symbolized brightness and life, being the personification of all that is pure and beautiful in the world. He had light skin, hair and eyelashes, which emphasized his unique beauty.
He was killed as a result of Loki’s intrigue, and after his death he was taken to the grim realm of Hel. There, eternal feasting and wealth awaited him.
Baldur received the bracelet “Draupnir” from his father. According to legend, with it he was to be resurrected during Ragnarok, and become the highest of the gods.
