“Praise day at even, a wife when dead,

a weapon when tried, a maid when married,

ice when 'tis crossed, and ale when 'tis drunk.” -Odin.

Odin, the Norse god of war, wisdom, battle, poetry, and fury, imparts strength in the hearts of men. Odin is the Lord of all the Norsemen and their gods, taught men writing and magic, and carries the magical spear Gungnir, which never misses its mark.

It is Odin who built the hall for the valorous slain, Valhalla, and it is Odin who greets all noble warriors who have demonstrated their bravery.
