內容簡介

內容簡介 Odin: wanderer, rune-carver, and chief of the sir. Explore the revered god of Norse mythology in this richly illustrated guide. This authentic introduction to the Norse god Odin Borson, revered in Norse paganism as a warrior, a wanderer, and a leader, delves into his history, impact on the Norse pantheon, and enduring legacy. Portrayed as a poet, magician, mad man and, most distinctively, as an old man, Odin's most famous role is as the keeper of Valhalla, a glittering afterlife reserved for chosen warriors who died bravely in the heat of battle. Odin: An Illustrated Guide to the Allfather provides an overview of Odin's origins, personality, significance, powers, and associations in this comprehensive, accessible, and beautifully designed hardcover. Included are the most important folklore and mythological tales involving Odin, such as the creation of the world, the sir-Vanir war, an eye for wisdom, Graybeard the ferryman, the death of Balder, and Ragnarök. This guide covers Odin not only in ancient times, but through the ages, sharing how he became an icon around the world. With Odin: An Illustrated Guide to the Allfather you will delve into the depths of Norse mythology and understand the true nature of Odin. Expert practicing Norse heathen L. Dean Lee shares how to properly venerate and incorporate Loki into your spiritual practice.
