Amulet Odin on Throne
Odin, also known as Wotan in South Germanic, is the supreme of the Nordic world of gods, which is why he is also called godfather or allfather. At the same time he is also the god of war and death. He also acts as the god of poetry, ecstasy and magic.
The best known of his sons is the firstborn Thor ( Donar ). His wife is the goddess Frigg (Frigga) who bore him the other sons Balder, Hermod, Hödur and Bragi. Another son he had by the giantess Grid was Vidar, who later at Ragnarök would avenge his death at the hands of the wolf Fenrir.
Together with his brothers Villi and Ve he created the first human pair Askr and Embla from a piece of wood washed up on the sea. Among his constant faithful companions are the ravens Hugin and Munin ( thought and memory ) who always keep him up to date with all information from his realm, which is why he is also called the raven god.
He also had 2 wolves around him named Geri and Freki (the greedy
and the greedy one ). Undaunted, he also has his battle horse. Sleipnir, which was a gift from his blood brother Loki, faithfully by his side in all his battles. In his native Asgard he owns two palaces, Walaskialf and Gladsheim. The latter also contains the great hall of Valhall, where he and his warriors, the Einherjer, are preparing for the final battle of Ragnarök.
