Aquarian Mythology - Film Score Rundowns

Odin is the father and Frigga (Venus) is the mother of Balder the Beautiful. (Beauty
refers to his Venusian origin.) Balder's abode is Breidablik which means The Twins
(Gemini). His twin is Hodur who
was the "accidental" cause of the "death" (more properly the "descent" of the Monad into
the Higher Self) of Balder. This descent into denser matter is a form of blindness for the
Monad, and Hodur is blind. Balder knows that he must descend (die) into incarnation so
he reports his dream of death to the Aesir council. Frigga extracts an oath from all things
not to harm Balder, but forgot the mistletoe (a sacred Druid symbol). Loki enticed Hodur
to wound Balder with a sprig of mistletoe and so Balder died.
Balder in his pure state is the Higher Self. He incorporates the qualities of Beauty, Justice
and Peace. Because he did not die in battle he could not be taken to Valhalla, the home of
the gods. Frigga persuaded Hermod to descend to Hel (the Kingdom of Death or the
Lower Self) to rescue Balder. Hel agreed to release him if all things wept for him. The
witch Thokk (a disguise adopted by Loki) refused to
do so therefore Balder had to stay with Hel in the underworld.
Thokk represents the unregenerate mind which has no knowledge of the Soul. The Soul
must then sleep in man until he awakens to his true nature and purpose. This is the story
of the Sleeping Princess (the Soul) or the frog-prince enchanted by the wicked witch.
