As storm god, he is the leader of the Wotan armies. Odin, the finder of the runes, god of runic wisdom and patron saint of the skalds.\u003cbr\u003eOdin, the Allfather, son of Borr and the giantess Bestla. Together with his brothers Vili and Vé, 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 Valaskjalf in the gods' fortress Asgard and can observe the whole world from there. He is all-seeing and knows what is said and what is done. By Odin's side are the ravens, Hugin (thought) and Munin (memory), who return from their journey every morning to report the news of the world to Odin. He is also accompanied by the two wolves Geri (greedy) and Freki (voracious). With his eight-legged stallion Sleipnir, he rides against the forces of darkness!\u003cbr\u003eOdin 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\u003eOdin's mythical wife is Frigg, whose Old German name Frijamit is identical to the Norse name of the Vanir goddess Freyja. Frigg is also identified with Freyja in the Edda. His wife bore him the sons Thor, Baldr, and Tyr.\u003cbr\u003eThus, 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\u003eHis retinue consists of 13 spirit warrior women, the Valkyries (Valkyrjar), and the souls of the fallen warriors, the Einherjar, who live in Valhalla (Hall of the Fallen).\u003cbr\u003eThis gleaming hall stood in Gladsheim, before it the grove Glasir, whose trees bore golden leaves. Above the main door of the hall, which was so high that one could hardly 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 the 800 Einherjar pass when it comes to the great battle with the Fenris wolf (The warriors gather for Ragnarök). For these brave ones, who came to Odin after death on the battlefield, it was intended. Under Odin's leadership, the Valkyries generously pour the mead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSize: approx. 18 x 18 mm,\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrnament (motif) is on both sides of the pendant! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"nordwelt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53695538168145,"sku":"53.024","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/9821\/9345\/files\/53-024-odin-auf-sleipnir-anhaenger-bronze-schmuck-wodan-wotan_9cf40895-630b-4d0b-989f-e2fa2f126947.jpg?v=1777983973","url":"https:\/\/nordwelt.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/odin-auf-sleipnir-bronze","provider":"nordwelt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
