“May you endure the long night, knowing that light waits beyond.”
In Norse myth, the god Baldur was beloved by all. He shone with a radiance that warmed the hearts of gods and mortals alike. But one day, shadows fell—Baldur was struck down, and the world mourned his absence. His mother, Frigg, wept, and the earth seemed to sink deeper into winter’s dark.
Yet the story does not end in sorrow. At Yule, the longest night, the gods gathered. They lit great fires, calling for Baldur’s return. And as dawn broke, the promise was fulfilled: light rose again, reborn from the depths of night. Baldur’s radiance was restored, reminding all that even in the darkest hour, the sun will rise.”
