Re: balder, balor, lugh, loki & louhi

Don't forget that Odin absorbed an earlier Germanic 'chief god' called the Sky Father who was probably a light god. Before this Odin was a shaman / storm / Mercurial type god. He then mixes these attributes. Later perhaps his son comes to represent the light aspects he's absorbed.

Loki may well be based on a biased version of Lugh as the Germans where once the slaves of some Celtic tribes, so their gods may have been seen as particularly malign. And this might also explain the association between Loki and Odin.

But I have problems in associating Balder the Beautiful, god of harmony, with Balor lord of the hideous Formorians, gods of chaos.
