#loki #norsemythology #ragnarök In this exciting episode, we dive
deep into the fascinating world of the real Loki – and he has
little in common with Marvel's Tom Hiddleston! Hendrik and Carmen
reveal the true story of the Norse god of mischief, who lived
among the Aesir as a Jötunn and was Odin's blood brother. From
his extraordinary origins as the son of giants through his
spectacular shapeshifting to his complex relationships with Thor
and the other gods – Loki embodies moral ambivalence like no
other figure in Norse mythology. Learn how he gave birth to
Sleipnir as a mare, why he killed Baldr, and how his own children
became Asgard's downfall. His story takes us from cunning pranks
through magical artifacts to the final battle at Ragnarök, where
the eternal boundary-crosser makes his last choice. We'd love to
hear your comments! #shapeshifter #baldrdeath #sleipnir #jötunn
