Goddess Inspiration Oracle: Iduna

KEYWORDS:
immortality
youth
beauty

The goddess Iduna was renowned for her youthful beauty, and was married to Bragi, the handsome god of poetry. She was reponsible for growing the golden apples of immortality in her enchanted western garden named Appleland; in the stories of King Arthur, Appleland was called Avalon—the idyllic country of immortal life. As keeper of the golden apples, the goddess was reponsible for the well-being of the Norse pantheon.

The Norse people considered apples essential for the continuation of life. Associated with the resurrection, containers of these sacred fruit were placed in graves, perhaps to nurture mortals as they journeyed from one life to the next. The Norse also believed that a soul could be passed from body to body, contained within the flesh of an apple. This suggests the way that we share inspiration—by sharing the fruits of our labors.
