Tribute of Oden / Wotan / Odin

Odin from Old Norse (Óðinn) is a major god in Norse mythology and the ruler of Asgard. Homologous with the Anglo-Saxon “Woden“ and the Old High German “Wotan“, the name is descended from Proto-Germanic “*Wodanaz“ or “*Wodanaz“. “Odin“ is generally accepted as the modern English form of the name, although, in some cases, older forms may be used or preferred. In the compound Wednesday, the first member is cognate to the genitive Odin’s. His name is related to oðr, meaning “fury, excitation,“ besides “mind,“ or “poetry.“ His role, like that of many of the Norse gods, is complex. Odin is a principal member of the Æsir (the major group of the Norse pantheon) and is associated with war, battle, victory and death, but also wisdom, magic, poetry, prophecy, and the hunt. Odin has many sons, the most famous of whom is Thor. Music: Duivelspack - Mythos Hildebrandslied - 07 Theotmahal - Die Thingstät
