NS Spirituality
Archetype of Goodness
For millenia before the adoption of a Near Eastern narrative, the vision of a figure of absolute goodness and righteousness was embedded in the consciousness of our ancient Northern ancestors. This racial archetype was a son of the All-Father. He was called Baldur, the God of Light.
HE WAS THE BEST of all divine figures. In Him
all was perfect. He shone forth with such radiance, that light
streamed from His person.
He was the most wise, most eloquent, most gracious; and in His
realm there was nothing impure.
He was the God of light, of spring and
gladness. Yet, of Him it was prophesied that He should die
at the hands of evil, aided by the ignorant and the foolish.
Our pre-Christian ancestors in Northern Europe called Him
BALDUR, beloved son of Wotan and Frija.
He was the personification of the Sun and the archetype of
everything good; and on the Winter Solstice they
celebrated with great rejoicing the promise of His return.
The ancient folk memory lingers on.
