The shortest night and the longest day. The longest day and the shortest night..

Baldr is of the day. Hoth is of the night..

Do they ever match each other..??


On unsown acres the ears will grow,
all ill grow better; will Baldr come then.
Both he and Hoth will in Hropt's hall dwell
the war gods' fane: do ye wit more, or how?

Voluspa 61, Hollander trans.

A world full of werewolves goes round and round..


Five hundred doors and forty withal
I ween that in Valholl be:
eight hundred warriors through one door hie them
when they fare forth to fight the Wolf

Grimnismal 24, Hollander trans.

where do they meet..


Another woe awaiteth Hlin,
when forth goes Othin to fight the Wolf,
and the slayer of Beli to battle with Surt:
then Frigg's husband will fall lifeless.

Voluspa 52, Hollander trans.

inside ourselves..


Strides forth Vithar, Valfather's son,
the fearless fighter, Fenrir to slay;
to the heart he hews the Hvethrung's son;
avenged is then Vithar's father.

Voluspa 53, Hollander trans.

...do ye wit more, or how?


On unsown acres the ears will grow,
all ill grow better; will Baldr come then.
Both he and Hoth will in Hropt's hall dwell
the war gods' fane: do ye wit more, or how?

Voluspa 61, Hollander trans.
