Host Edmund Cross explores the tragic tale of Balder the Beautiful, whose death by mistletoe became one of mythology's most poignant stories.

These forgotten deities reveal the sophisticated complexity of Norse religious beliefs beyond popular figures like Thor and Odin.

Perfect for mythology enthusiasts, students of Scandinavian culture, and anyone interested in ancient belief systems.
