GANGLER OR GANGLERE

A symbol of the spiritual ego as life's pilgrim; or the conscience.

'Evil are the deeds of Loki truly,' said Gangler; first of all in his having caused Baldur to be slain, and then preventing him from being delivered out of Hel.'" - Prose Edda, MALLET, p. 449.

Then the conscience speaks :-The desire-nature (Loki) has done amiss apparently, in that it has become the means of drawing the Soul (Baldur) to the karmic planes whereon it is obscured, and that it now serves to prevent it from rising to union with the Higher Self.
