Idunn, Idun and .
The goddess who keeps the apples of youth, by which the gods stay ever-young. Loki arranged for the etin Thjazi to abduct her, but then was forced to get her back, a deed which ended in Thjazi's death. Apples are one of the oldest and holiest symbols of life and rebirth among the Germanic folk, appearing as grave-gifts from the Bronze Age onward. One wonders what significance the symbol of the apple had here with the apple in the Garden of Eden. Did the serpent offer Eve immortality. Was she punished for being like the Gods? Apples are one of the first fruits growing in the wild. No one knows who domesticated the apple. But in the oldest writings it is considered a symbol of immortality. Pray to this Goddess to claim the god and goddess within you. Claim all that this symbolizes.
