About this card
Höðr is the blind brother of Baldr. At Loki's instigation (disguised as an old woman), Höðr was led to throw a mistletoe dart at Baldr, killing him [S2]. Höðr is a figure of tragic innocence — he did not know what he was doing, and he is the unwitting instrument of the great tragedy [S2].
