 Odin Sword
Odin
Odin: (or Wuotan, Woden) He is the holiest of Norse gods, and sits on the throne of Asgard called Hlidskialf. All other gods are descended from him, thus he is surnamed Allfather. He is usually depicted as middle aged with dark hair (or bald with a hat or hood) and a gray beard. In his hand he carries the spear Gungnir, and on his finger he wears the ring Draupnir, a symbol of prosperity. Odin is always represented with one eye hidden, as he sacrificed an eye to gain wisdom at Mimir's Well.
God of war, learning, and poetry Odin was believed to have fashioned the universe, created man and established the laws that controlled the destiny of the world. He was the father of Thor and the inspiration to the creation of the Roman god, Mercury. As the supreme god, he carried a formidable weapon, one both powerful and awesome.
