The Heliost Ghost Figurine - Baldur

Sale price245,00 kr

Midsummer in the Nordic lands is not only beautiful. It is watchful  

The lyse nætter, the bright nights, bring a light that does not behave as it should. It lingers past midnight.  And the old ones knew that when the veil thins at midsummer, it does not thin toward the dead. It thins toward something older.

The Heliosts arrive with this long light. They come carrying the warmth of a sun that would not set, and a quiet knowledge they will not share. What they have witnessed in the spaces between dusk and a dawn that never truly came; this they keep  

Even those who do not love the summer feel them.

The landvættir were offered gifts at midsummer. Small things. Tokens of acknowledgment. Perhaps the Heliosts are what answered.  
Baldur was beloved of all things. The sun warmed brighter in his presence. The flowers turned toward him without being asked. Even the stones, when approached with kindness, would soften.
He arrives at midsummer because midsummer is when he was lost. He arrives pale and perfect and luminous with the memory of what he carried.
To find Baldur on your doorstep is to be trusted with something precious. He does not come to everyone. He comes to those who will not forget him.
Baldur the ghost figurine stands at just short of 9 cm.
