Idunn, Idun and .
The goddess who keeps the aplpes of youth, by which the gods
stay ever-young. Loki arranged for the etin Thjazi to abduct
her, but then was forced to get her back, a deed whcih ended in
Thjazi's death. Apples are one of the oldest and holiest symbols
of life and rebirth among the Germanic folk, appearing as
grave-gifts from the Bronze Age onward. One wonders what
significance the symbol of the apple had here with the apple in
the Gadren of Eden. Did the serpent offer Eve immortaltiy. Was
she punished for benig like the Gods? Apples are one of the
first fruits growing in the wild.
No one knows who domesticated
the apple. But in the oldest writings it is considered a symbol
of immortality.
Pray to this Goddess to claim the god and
goddess within you. Claim all that this symbolizes.
