Hi,
guys So today you can 'meet' Odin - another God of God's but in Norse
mythology.
The
Gog of war and warriors, the deity of sagacity, authority, poetry,
and magic. Husband of goddess Frigg and Thor's father. All three were
worshiped in shire in Uppsala. Together with Frigg, he led the fallen
warriors in Walhalla.
Like
you know from a previous post he with his brothers created the world
from a Giant- Ymir and also generated two first humans (Ask, Embla).
His
Holy symbols are raven, wolf, and spear. He has two ravens - Huginn
(thought) and Munnin (memory) and two wolves: Geri and Freki.
Odin
sits on the throne from which he sees everything that's happening in
nine worlds. He likes to change his psychical form.
Odin's
spear- Gungnir always brought a win and his ring - Draupnin is
symbolizing plenty and wealth.
Odin
is characterized by real wisdom. To get it, he hanged himself to the
three for nine days, gored by a spear. Because of that, he learned
eighteen magic songs and twenty-four runes. After that, he sacrificed
one eye by giving it to Mimir in exchange for drinking from his well
of wisdom. That's all for todays post, bye!
