As storm god, he is the leader of Odin's wild hunt. Odin, the finder of runes, god of runic wisdom and patron god of the skalds.\u003cbr\u003e Odin, the All-Father, son of Bor and the giantess Bestla. Together with his brothers Hönir and Lodur, Odin created the first human couple, Ask and Embla, and gave them a soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe sits on his throne Hlidskialf in the hall of Valaskjalf in the divine fortress Asgard and can observe the whole world from there. He is all-seeing and knows what is said and done. At Odin's side are the ravens, Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory), who return every morning from their journey to report to Odin the news of the world. He is also accompanied by the two wolves Geri (Greedy) and Freki (Voracious). With his eight-legged steed Sleipnir, he rides against the powers of darkness!\u003cbr\u003e Odin pledges his eye to his uncle Mimir to be allowed to drink the mead Odrörir from the well of truth. He owes his wealth to his golden ring Draupnir, from which eight more rings drip every nine days. In battle, he relies on the spear Gungnir, which never misses its target.\u003cbr\u003e Odin's mythical wife is Frigg, whose Old German name Frijamit is identical to the Norse Vanir goddess Freyja. Frigg is also identified with Freyja in the Edda. His wife bore him the sons Thor, Baldur, and Tyr.\u003cbr\u003e Thus, Odin is not only the god of the fallen in Valhalla, but generally the leader of the dead, as the older myth of the Wild Hunt expresses, in which all spirits of the dead ride through the night under Odin's leadership.\u003cbr\u003e His retinue consists of 13 spirit warrior maidens, the Valkyries (Valkyrjar), and the souls of fallen warriors, the Einherjar, who dwell in Valhalla (Hall of the Fallen).\u003cbr\u003e This gleaming hall stood in Gladsheim, and before it was the grove Glasir, whose trees bore golden leaves. Above the main door of the hall, which was so high that one could barely see its gable, hung a wolf as a symbol of war, and above it an eagle. The hall itself, covered with shields over spear shafts, had 540 doors through which those 800 Einherjar pass when the great battle with the Fenris wolf approaches (The warriors gather for Ragnarök). The Einherjar heroes are invited to Odin's feast on the battlefield (Valstatt) by the Valkyries with a kiss and there await the fate of the gods under continuous feasting and fighting. Under Odin's direction, the Valkyries generously pour out the mead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured and cast from polyresin (artificial stone).
