Fun fact: Odin hanging himself is the inspiration behind the tarot card the hanged man because it represents sacrifice and wisdom just like Odin did when he went to the tree to study the nine realms
Odin is honestly the best head god of any mythology. He seems very chill and just wants to learn more about the various things in the world. He seems like he would be very nice to talk with.
He is not the god , may be norse people made him god , oldest indo European history he was sage later regarded as demigod( mortal) , he was not from Europe
Odin in hinduism is regarded as sage and warlord ,he is known as usan/ usana( sometime usana kavi) usan= odin ,he also lost one eye and he is Also regarded as great guru of asur race of Hinduism ( just like norse mythology and aesir race )

@@michaelmahoney9364 There is not much known about Tyr. He seemed to be important very early on but was replaced by Odin and Thor. There is not much about him in the Edda either.
Yes, more Norse mythology pretty please. Also exploring Celtic mythology gods and creatures would be sweet too such as the Kelpie, Will-O-Wisp, Morrigan the crow goddess of doom and fate, etc.
The Aesir didn't lose, it was more like a stalemate, Fenrir got killed by Víðar, Jormugandr and Thor killed eachother, Heimdall and Loki killed eachother, and in the end Surtr burned everything, but underneath the world tree the gods had hidden a means of repopulating the world again, the surviving Aesir where Magni and Modi, Víðarr and Baldr, who returned from the underworld, there was a 5th survivor, but I don't remember who.
200 that we know of. The All-Father is said to have more names than there are winds in a hurricane and possess more titles than there are ways for a man to die. He's Odin, Woden, Wotan, Grimnir, Mr. Wednesday, the Gallows God, the All-Father, the One-Eyed King, Lord of Asgard, the Hanged Man of the Tarot, son of Bor and Bestla, Grandson of Buri the first God, and he's the original Santa Claus, among a mountain of other things.
@@christodouloszoubas312 Nah unlike devil/Lucifer/Satan odin tries to prevent shit from happen. The great deceiver is all for returning humanity to dust, torturing their souls and make himself God of creation. Very BIG difference between the two.
@I am Hunter what about the horse? I'm pretty sure he had a horse. it's special, because it had 8 legs. I'm pretty sure it was Odin who had the 8 legged horse
6:24 loke was tied down with his own son's guts and enchanted by Odin so they were as hard as iron. The snake over Loke dripped venom into his eyes, but his wife was there to shield him from the venom. Although sometime she had to go and throw the full bowl away, while the venom drops into his eyes it hurts so much he pulls on the chains so hard the entire earth shakes. This is what causes earthquakes
The Allfather, willing to traverse almost any obstacle for his wisdom... He's certainly admirable, a great role model and my guide, Odin's wisdom has always inspired me, and I have faith that he watches over us. Thanks for this video.
I enjoyed this. One thing to understand about the Old Norse religion: The Old Norse religion is not one set religion with a basic set of morals, laws, or beliefs for that matter. We know a lot about Old Norse and yet we know very little as generally each Jarldom, Kingdom, etc had their own iteration of the religion with perhaps a slightly different story. This is because the Old Norse religion isnt based off of a book like Christianity. It is only stories and "fish tales" happen. The Sami people might have believed something differently from their neighbors whilst still believing in the same God's. They all stem from the Proto-Germanic "Old Norse" religion however.
İts mainly because norsemen didnt have the knowledge, time and effort to write things down. İt is better to tell your kids the tales of these gods, rather than put a book under his nose and tell him to read. Stories can change, yes. But did the bible not change too?
@RealBallistic SMN Maybe if there was any reasonable evidence for the existence of those Gods then people might not consider it a myth. Yet people know these stories have changed throughout history. You have got a good case though, it's hypocritical! Many religions don't have any reasonable evidence. If they don't they should be considered a myth because truth is determined by evidence. Even if there is no such thing as absolute certainty, you only have what is most probable given the current evidence.
I'm always wanting more on Gungnir! One of my favorite weapons from any mythology and so little is known about it. Everybody loves Mjolnir but Gungnir was a King's weapon. It shattered enemy weapons, even magical ones. It was perfectly balanced and never missed it's target. Gungnir video please.
Oden is one of the few figures from pre- Christian Europe whose influence can be seen to this very day. The fact that the founder of current day Sweden, king Gustav Vasa, chose to imitate him in dressing up as an poor wanderer as late as in the 1500s is a testament on how beloved he was by the people here
Odin was derived from Finno or Asiatic Shamanism. The original supreme deity of Norse religion is Thor. Thunder/storm deities are always the supreme deities of Indo-European religions. Thor = Zeus =Perun = Indra. norse-mythology.org/concepts/shamanism/ www.historyfiles.co.uk/FeaturesEurope/BarbarianOdin01.htm
Odin dresses like a female Shaman. It is a tradition in Asian Shamanism. Birds are relative to Shamanism no matter in Asia or in American continent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin_from_Lejre Some Turkic/Altai elements could be found in his clothing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin_from_Lejre#/media/File:Odin_from_Lejre.jpg
Yo White Viking brothers!!! You want to know who Odin is? I have a feeling somewhere in between 7th-9th century AD. The Norse religion & Christianity got mixed up with who He was possibly? Check this out! Esus is another name for Odin. The word Esus. Add a "J" that was later introduced into the Anglo Saxon English alphabet in the 17th century. What do you have when you add- "J" with Esus? ;) romecorruptedchristianity.wordpress.com/2013/07/09/esus-and-jesus-coincidence-the-trinity-of-esus/
This is what I am called. I am called Glad-O-War, Grim, Raider, and Third. I am One-eyed. I am also called Highest, and True-Guesser. I am Grimnir, and the Hooded One. I am All-Father, Gondlir, Wand-bearer. I have as many names as there are winds. As many titles as there are ways to die. My ravens are Huginn and Muninn. Thought and Memory. My wolves are Freki and Geri. My horse is the gallowed. I am Odin!
This is one of the better explanations of not only Odin, but part of the Norse Myth I hold very dear to my heart cause it is a big part what I believe in Scandinavian and Nordic culture (also that I am a pagan at heart).
Brutal Beat I? I only said that you dont decide wether he will be able to feast with the gods, you started to argue “what has this cityboy done in his life” etc.
I knew the GoW version of Odin was off. Yeah Odin wasn't the nicest guy but they made him a flat out villain. If anything Odin was similar in personality to Ragnar from Vikings, always hungry for Knowledge to predict the future and a merciless warrior in war. Interestingly the game gave all of Odin's positive qualities to Tyr
You talked about Ragnarok in the past tense but from what I've been taught of Norse mythology, Ragnarok is yet to happen. As I understand it, it is intended to play the role that the story of Armageddon plays in Judeo-Christian mythology.
If you guys are interested in Norse Mythology, I reccommend the book series, Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard. It's a funny book with Norse thrown in the book. It. Is. AWESOME.

Great job on your Odin synopsis, I have studied Norse mythology quite deeply. I believe you're a little off on Loki, however. A lesson that always followed Loki's stories are that no matter how badly you mess things up, it's in your power to fix things, as Loki always did, with the notable exception of his role in Baldr's death, after which he was chained basically forever with snake venom dripping in his eyes, with a loving wife trying to save him from it. Very good to teach what happens when your trickery becomes malicious and causes irreparable harm.
@@mkelkar1 Is this a list of the similar God/Goddesses across the different world religions? Excellent compilation. Do you think all of these religions have a common root, or just similar world experiences? Comparing Germanic religion with Abrahamic, it seems that versions of hell differ depending on the climate where they originated. Hell is a fire burning eternally for many religions from warmer climates, and frozen, icy places in colder regions.
@@IsaacGerken Only the the so called "Indo European" mythologies that are rooted in the Rig Veda. Don't know how they compare with Egypt, Mesopotamia or Abrahamic traditions.
It would be great if you could at some point make a video or videos about the various magic items and objects that are present in Norse Mythology. Gungnir, Mjolnir, the Golden Apples of Youth, etc.
To be honest, Odin sounds like a pretty chill person. Most gods in mythologies (especially the greek ones) tend to be flawed but mostly brutal and cruel towards mortals and even between each other. Here not only Odin walks among mortals, but he even opens his door to one ice giant (loky) and asks him to be part of his family despite his reputation. Odin could be one of the most "good" gods around mythologies, hell he even was willing to sacrifice his eye for wisdom and knowledge. I'm sure there must be a few stories that say otherwise, but by comparison.... yeah odin is a pretty chill god.
That's very interesting. In the story you've told Odin and Loki were brothers by sacred oaths. In the version I've been reading (and no, I'm not talking about the MCU) he adopts Loki and raises him as a son.
Martin Bengtsson that's the way I understand it. In another language or culture he's called Wotan or Woden and his day of worship was called "wodens day" which became "Wednesday" just like how "Thors day" became "Thursday"
Did you know that the town of Woodbridge in England is named after Odin and the find of an Odin's mask at Sutton Hoo? I bet you do, but now I can also join in yay.

Myth & Legend draws a fine lane between in the sand... Odin = Zeus of Atlantis during Younger Dryas Multiple Asteroid Impact Event 13000 years ago destroying Rockall Bank/Island when the Atlantic was 100 Meters lower. "In the Northern Portions & Along the Shore" & "Beyond the Pillars of Hercules"... You can even use the physical dimensions given to measure Rockall Bank/Island. I especially like the part @ the end about the "mountain low on all sides ... broke it off all round about"... The north eastern portion of the island will be the visual keystone..
Something very interesting also about "Asgård" where the God's lived and "Ashem" where Asgård was is that in an old story called "Yngligasagan" by Snorre Sturlasson it seems they believe Ashem was in Asia, east of the Black Sea I believe from what I remember of the text. He also mentioned Asia Minor and that would indicate Turkey. So, maybe vikings, at least in Sweden, came, at least partially, from Asia. Obviously Germanic tribes were likely the biggest source.

@@itz_yeastic Thor Ragnarok os a silly MCU idea. Ragnarok is the genuine prophesised end of the world according to Norse Mythology. And according to said mythology, it has not happened yet. I find Norse Mythology far more interesting than christianty and about as believable.
Now I know the reasoning behind some of the things added in World of Warcraft surrounding their version of the Norse gods. Like the messenger raven of Havi, Odyn in disguise.
I'm pretty interested in learning what I can on Odin. He seemed to be pretty important to my ancestors. I had a DNA test done ( being adopted and all, I was curious) I found out that I had ancestors from Odense denmark . ( I had quite a few more viking ancestors as well elsewhere )

Could have mentioned that Odin's brothers were Ve and Vilje, meaning Fate and Will. Odin himself becomes an image of Man's intellect :) These stories ment something!
Odin is indo persian ( pre Zoroastrianism ) sage not god , is he called usana kavi in hinduism = the sage of poetry and warlord , Vedic scriptures usana kavya written by him , he also lost one eye he later known as sukracharya the guru of asur race ( aesir )
He is according to Hindu culture born in vedic tribe ( hindu tribe ) but latter accepted as higher sage asur kingdom = assarian culture later became Zoroastrians culture and norse culture also , Asgard was in west asia in assur city of Mesopotamic ( city of aesir gods)
these people were much behind us on their metaphysics. Our rishis recognised the concepts of reincarnation, karma and consciousness (brahman) being the reality of everything. To be Norse religion is nothing more significant than the religion of se rand tribe in south America or Africa. they have nothing on India.
The way things are arranged in the physicality is not random, they have patterns. Lots and lots of patterns. Which means, for something to effect something else and become in a certain sort of form or way or function, it has to be arranged accordingly in relevance to the rest. I do think there is permanence and absolute even on the physical realm as far as occurrence is concerned, but there too is in absolute and impermanence that dwells within and through them
@@shreyvaghela3963 Odin Is not god but sage sukracharya ,in rigveda is not called sukracharya but usan kavi who is poetry sage and war lord of asura ,usan kavi also lost his eye ,in post vedic and puranic scriptures he is called sukracharya but in rigveda he is usan / usana kavi = usan= odin
@GTX 1080 ti Dyeus Pitha of Vedic times used to be one of the supreme deities. Over time indras myth mixed with Dyeus Pithas myth. Dyeus Pitha became Deus Pidhar in Persia. Deus Pidhar became Zeus Pater in Greek. Zeus Pater became Ju-piter in Rome. He became Thor and Odin. Usana kavi is perhaps an offshoot of Dyeus Pitha.
@GTX 1080 ti There took place a huge war in ancient times several thousand years ago. At that time defeated clans were driven out of India. Two such clans are Hellenic people and Persians. They took their vedic traditions westwards in Europe. Thats what gave birth to polytheistic religions in Europe. They are basically different manifestations of vedic traditions.

Thomas Gray wrote a beautiful poem called "The Descent of Odin", featuring the Allfather descending into Hela's underworld realm, where he uses magic to force an undead oracle to tell him about things to come, i.e. Ragnarok. There's a reading of the poem on my channel if you're interested.
At one point of time, you'll understand that. I forgot what Goddess at one point of time actually got turned into a cop and that's what they were actually referring to. If you go look up Greek mythology, one of the goddesses got transformed into a cow. Feather kind of messing up at this point. But yeah, you'll understand.
This sounds exactly like Greek mythology where Zeus and his brother Haites took out their father who ate the other children so they couldn't grow to over throw him. Zeus took control of the skies and Haites took control of the grounds and all below it.
Since you've done this video and lovecraftian lore videos in the past, would it be possible for you to also do Conan The Barbarian/Kull The Conqueror lore videos? Those are practically non-existent on RU-vid but the interest is certainly there considering the most recent Conan games and movie and considering that there are ties between the Conan series and the Lovecraft series since the two authors behind those series were friends and were inspired by each other in writing their stories.
"I am the unknown will, the anger that threatens glory and ruins: Lord of storms am I, in heavens high and caverns deep, I am the Father of the War, Odin for you, Woten for him, Wayfarer, wonderer, beggar, king, numen, genius, strength and ring." What A Good Quote. I wonder what it means, though...
Ah yes the God of my ancestors i read the LN series by Kamachi Kazuma called Toaru actually loved the way he depicted Odin in it... also you could have mentioned that Odin is one of the origins for Santa

Yes the God´s is interesting. But what also is interesting is, because of the confusion of them. Are the Norns Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld. About the role, they play in the life of man´s destiny and life. There´s so little said about them. Do they carve runes in Yggdrasil or are they only weave a net about one´s past, future, present, and death? As they sit at the foot of yggdrasil.

Odin is the most badass god. What's more metal than hanging from your own spear for nine days? The song Rebellion made of him just serves to further make him look more badass.
