Product Details
Brand: Red Wheel
Author: L Dean Lee
Product Type: Hardcover
Published: 04/07/2025
This is a culturally informed introduction to the Norse god Odin—the Allfather who is revered in Norse paganism and is a cultural staple of northern European folklore. One of the most complex gods from Norse mythology, Odin is the ruler of Valhalla as the god of war and revered as a great magician. He is associated with the runes, discovering them when he hung himself from the world tree, Yggdrasil. A key aspect of his magic and knowledge comes from two loyal ravens, Huginn and Munin. Their names translate to “thought” and “memory.” This book is an overview of who Odin is, what his origins as a deity are, his personality and significance, his associations, and practices of how to venerate him today. Readers will find this book invaluable as a stand-alone work or as part of a series on Norse deities. It provides a comprehensive, accessible, and beautifully illustrated introduction to all aspects of the greatest of all Norse gods and offers avenues for further research.
