Odin was considered the father of all the Norse gods and was mainly associated with magic, wisdom, war, poetry, and the runic alphabet.
In Valhalla, Odin sat on his throne called Hlidskjalf from where he watched over all the Nine Realms. Odin looked for further knowledge in the runes and in order to achieve this, he hung himself from Yggdrasil with a spear in his side for nine days and nights without food or drink. Odin further lost his eye in the quest for further knowledge and had 2 wolves, 2 ravens and an eight legged horse. The artwork features depictions of Odin surrounded by Knotwork, ships and also a depiction of Fenrir.
We hope you love this range just as much as we do!
