Idun, Goddess of Youth and Spring

Description   Idun is a deity in the Norse Pantheon. She is the Goddess of Youth and Spring. She is the wife of Bragi, the God of Poetry. She is a youthful woman of great beauty. She is especially protective of young girls, and will sometimes send her avatar to protect them from harm.   As a Goddess of Youth, Idun can slow or reverse the aging process in any being. She can awaken any dormant or sleeping thing. Idun can throw apples with random magical effects, similar to a rod of wonder.   Idun is famed for the apples of youth which the Aesir eat. They are picked from the Tree of Life, called also the Tree of Youth, near the Urdar fountain. The Norns allow none other than Idun to pick these apples. Idun carries them in a wicker chest which can carry any amount of apples. The Gods must eat one at least every ten years. Idun's avatar carries a staff which can make anyone ten years younger when struck by it.   Idun inhabits the Groves of Brunnaker in the realm of Vingolf, the latter great estate best known for its communal great hall in Asgard. Her husband, Bragi, often lives with her at Asgard when he is not at his mountain retreat or wandering the planes. Idun rarely leaves her estates.
