Re: balder, balor, lugh, loki & louhi

Facinating. Did I mention that some historians think Balder changed dramatically in the Balkans among the Eastern Saxons living in that region? They came into contact with 'Thracian' and 'West Asian' Mystery cults exported from Asia Minor into the region according to some sources. This gave a more mystical spin to Balder and probably brought the oriental Baal into the equation. This new spin in turn leaked back to the Saxons still in Germany and onto those in England. So its just possible a Balder Mystery cult may have developed of unusual sophistication. Perhaps absorbing elements of Odinism too?
