For those who have never read Baldr's Draumar (Baldr's Dream):

Him dreaming of his own death... Then that it was someone holding His brothers hand....That someone being Loki....I think that's what your asking for..

I think its means many things, but the main thing perhaps is 'beware of seeking knowledge'. Oddin is a deity that seeks wisdom, and I think it was saying here that maybe its not always a good thing to know everything or know the future.

It's all apart of a general warning to not tamper with your fate, and seek something best left unknown. The knowledge of Ragnarok helped manifest Ragnarok. The same goes for Baldr's death.

Good points gents.....
