IDUNN

Also known as : IDUN, IDUNA

God of : n/a | Hall : n/a | Mount : n/a

The Norse Goddess of Apples.

Not just any old apples though. These magical apples were seriously in demand, they kept the Gods as young and spritely as spring lambs. Unfortunately a giant wanted the apples and Loki the trickster wanted to save his own skin so he was only too happy to oblige. See Thjazi for all the sordid details.

She was married to Bragi and had a mystery brother who was slayed by her mystery lover. But as Loki gloated at Aegir's Hall about the Idunn - brother - lover - murder- sex- love triangle, you can bet your bottom dollar he was involved.
