Note 11 — Baldr’s Dreams

Henry Adams Bellows translation

Rind: mentioned by Snorri as one of the goddesses. Concerning her son Vali, begotten by Othin for the express purpose of avenging Baldr’s death, and his slaying of Hoth the day after his birth, cf. Voluspo, 33–34, where the lines of this stanza appear practically verbatim. Vestrsalir (“The Western Hall”): not elsewhere mentioned in the poems.
