Idun ("She Who Renews") is the Norse goddess of youth, who
grows the magic apples of immortality that keep the gods young. Her husband
Bragi was god of poetry.
Loki, the god
of mischief and fire, was once responsible for arranging Her abduction
by the giant Thajazi. Without Her apples, the gods soon began to age,
and threatened Loki until He agreed to rescue Her, which He accomplished
by borrowing Frejya's
falcon robe and fleeing with Idun who He had changed to a nut.
This card in a reading signifies renewal and a youthful attitude. This
card brings wisdom and healing, also, that should not be hoarded but
shared.
Alternate spellings: Idunn, Iduna, Idhunna
