Young Baldur, always curious, strives to learn the ways of the Viking gods. For instance, after slaying a giant, what does one do with the head? Odin explains…

Baldur is fascinated with Sif’s magical hair… a veritable museum of artifacts, fossils, and antiques, and longs to take another trip inside.
Sif is agreeable, but not without a price…
Baldur explores the magical world of Sif’s hair. His travels lead him an area filled with long lost books and other literary works.
A lost novel by Hemingway…
Another erotic book by Lynne Cheney…
And what is written on those ancient stone tablets?
Baldur explores Sif’s hair, a fantastic extra-dimensional realm of limitless storage space. Once again, impressive craftsmanship by the dwarves!
An old anvil, a berserker bearskin, a viking longship…. these are just a few of the things inside.
A lost Russian satellite, a dessicated brontosaurus, the lost civilization the Mayans… what is Sif going to do with all this stuff?
Baldur asks Sif is she has seen his lost soccer ball. She hasn’t, but she invites Baldur to look inside her magical hair.
As Baldur stares into her hairy portal, he is overcome with fear. What are these strange tingles and sensations rising up inside him?
Baldur is pissed off that his father Odin blasted his psychologist with a lightning bolt.
Odin explains that humans should know better than to psychoanalyze the gods. There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom… instead of taking advice from theory-schooled windbags, take some his battle-tested father. “Whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.”
Or, in the case of Mr. Freud, “Whatever kills you also makes you dead.”
Baldur finishes explaining his problems to his psychologist and eagerly awaits the solution…
Truly his case complicated, but after serious reflection, Freud admits that most of Baldur’s problems are directly related to his father, Odin. Casting off the yoke of domestic tyranny is of utmost importance to the young god’s well being!
Odin insists Baldur get a second a opinion.
Baldur and his new psychologist (who looks strangely like Sigmund Freud) get to work exploring the inner workings of Baldur’s tormented mind.
Baldur tells Freud about his four brothers: Thor, born from Earth; Vali, born from Rind; Vidar, born from Grid; and Hermod, who’s mother no one is quite sure about.
To make things more complicated, Earth is also Odin’s daughter, and Grid is a giant.
Baldur points out that needless to say, there’s a lot of tension at family reunions.
Odin tells Frigg he thinks it’s a terrible idea to send Baldur to see a skullsniffing psychologist on Midgard, but Frigg insists.
The psychologist is supposed to be one the best on Midgard, and comes highly recommended by Skirnir (a human hero from the Eddas known best for helping the god Freyr hook up with a smoking hot giant chick).
Down on Midgard, Baldur sits on the psych couch and gets to know his new doctor…
