Still stuck on Kamigami no Asobi: Balder is very clumsy and constantly falls over. However, nothing happens to him and even the forces of nature don't want to hurt him. This is clearly a reference to the Poetic Edda. Frigg makes all things swear not to harm Balder, except for a mistletoe branch, which Loki later uses to kill Balder. I'm curious to see if this will be picked up later in the series. #anime #神々の戯 #kamigaminoasobi #norsemythology #balder #loki #mistletoe #edda #poeticedda

While I edit #theartofgods, I get distracted. For instance, I am currently editing a version, a simplified version, of the #poeticedda for republishing as well. I would like to setup a store, of sorts on my book website to also sell versions of the Poetic Edda, which is one book that influenced my own story immensely.
