Worship Óðinn as our Patron God

Odin was the Norse god of war, the dead and poetic wisdom, who received slain warriors at Valhöll. Tacitus says the Suebi sacrificed on fixed days, human victims included, to a god he calls Mercury, usually taken to be Odin. Adam of Bremen writes that at Uppsala offerings were made to Wodan when war threatened.

A Danish gold bracteate of perhaps the fifth century reads 'He is Odin's man', and Old English royal houses traced their descent from Woden.
