📖 Who Is Bragi in Norse Mythology?
Bragi (Old Norse: Bragi) is the god of poetry and eloquence, often described as the son of Odin and possibly the giantess Gunnlod, guardian of the Mead of Poetry. He is married to Idunn, goddess of youth, whose golden apples grant immortality to the gods — symbolizing the eternal vitality of art and expression.
Bragi’s attributes include:
- 🧠 Wisdom & Eloquence – Known for his silver tongue and deep knowledge of skaldic verse
- 🎵 Musical Symbolism – Often depicted with a harp or psaltery, inspiring bards and singers
- 🪶 Runes on His Tongue – A poetic symbol of magical speech and divine storytelling
- 🍷 Bragarfull – A ceremonial cup used to swear oaths in his honor
He welcomed warriors into Valhalla with songs of their heroic deeds, and his presence at feasts symbolized the sacred power of words to stir hearts and shape legacy.
