Odin is a widely revered god in Germanic paganism. He is associated with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet. He is depicted as the husband of the goddess Frigg. In Germanic mythology and paganism, the god was also known as Woden, in old Saxon as Uuoden, in old Dutch as Wuodan, in old Frisian as Weda, and in old high German as Wuotan…all stemming from Wodanaz, meaning “lord of frenzy” or “leader of the possessed”.
