Odin is the leader other gods...
...and ruler of mortal humans.
Odin is the god of wisdom, always searching for deeper knowledge in different ways. He puts himself through pain to find the truths of the universe. He consults the no-longer living to do right in the present.
"Odin" means "seer/prophet", speaking truth to the world.
Odin is also one of the two gods of poetry (although #BTS has several).
Odin is the god of battle and victory https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Winking face" aria-label="Emoji: Winking face">
No wonder Odin is the god of victory - he can dull the blades of his enemies with a single stare!
In his hand, Odin carries a spear/staff/rod, depending on whether he& #39;s in battle or wandering the worlds in search of knowledge.
Sometimes, Odin wanders the human world in disguise, to see what mortals do.
Odin is known by hundreds of names, and one of them is Grimner ("The masked one").
Another one of Odin& #39;s names is Ygg ("The terrifying").
In fancy, academic speak, Odin is known as one of the mythological "culture heroes", which means that he has the power to change the world through discovery or invention!
"World is gonna change"
One of the reasons why Odin has so many names is that he can transform himself into ANY being, from the cutest to the fiercest!
Odin was accused by some for being "unmanly, doing things meant for women"...
...but he stayed unbothered. Odin had swag.
Odin is the psychopomp of his religion (the one who leads humans to the afterlife when they die), and psychopomp gods only GUIDE people, never JUDGE them.
Odin is a master of the art of singing the most powerful spells.
To keep Odin in a good mood, people make sure to sacrifice animals and give him MEAT.
