Quest For Wisdom

Odin was always on the look for ways to gain new wisdom, and become more experienced. On a quest to gain wisdom, he gave his eye to have a single sip of Mimir's Well. When he drank, all of the future became clear and he now understood why things were as they were. After he had clawed his eye out, Mimir took it from Odin and tossed it into the well, where it still remains. Losing an eye wouldn't stop Odin from his quest for wisdom, though. He had hung himself from Yggdrasil, for nine whole days with a spear pierced through him. He had died, but was resurrected and awarded more wisdom than any other god or human.

Odin

Valknut

My Nordic God's name is Odin. The All-Father. He is the son of Bor and Bestla. He has three children with Frigg, who are: Balder, Hod, and Hermod. With Gridd, he had one child who is Vidar. With Jord he also has one child who is Thor. He is the god of war, death, peotry, and wisdom. He actually gave one eye to drink from the Mimir's Well of Wisdom. His horse, Sleipnir, has eight legs and he is the animal that Odin chooses to ride into battle. He has two brothers, Ve and Vili. Odin has two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who often go out and survey the land. It's said that when he walks among people he disguises himself as an old man with a beard and a wide brimmed hat, and he tests people to see if they are cruel or nice. His home is in Valhalla, and every soldier who had died in battle goes up to Odin in his home. His eventual demise was the wolf Fenrir.
