"Odin on Sleipnir" fabric poster, black - bronze-colored

Black fabric poster "Wotan riding", with bronze-colored print.

Odin - finder of the runes, god of runic wisdom and patron god of the skalds.
High god of the Aesir / highest and first deity / god of poetry, knowledge, magic / god of the heavens, war, and the dead.
As a storm god, he is the leader of the Wotan hosts.
Odin, the Allfather - son of Burr and the giantess Bestla. Together with his brothers Hönir and Lodur, Odin created - according to legend - the first human couple (Ask and Embla) and gave them a soul.
He sits on his throne Hlidskjalf in the hall Valaskjalf in the divine fortress of Asgard and can observe the whole world from there. He is all-seeing and knows what is said and done.
At Odin's side are the ravens Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), which return from their journey every morning to report the news of the world to Odin.

He is also accompanied by the two wolves Geri (greedy) and Freki (voracious). With his eight-legged stallion Sleipnir, he rides against the forces of darkness!
Odin pledges his eye to his uncle Mimir in order to drink the mead Óðrerir from the Well of Wisdom. He owes his wealth to his golden ring Draupnir, from which eight more rings drip every nine days.

In battle, he relies on the spear Gungnir, which never misses its target.

Odin's mythical wife is Frigg, whose Old German name Frija is identical to the Nordic name of the Vanir goddess Freyja. In the Edda, too, Frigg is identified with Freyja. His wife bore him the sons Thor, Baldur, and Tyr.
Thus, Odin is not only the god of the fallen in Valhalla, but generally the guide of the dead (as expressed by the older myth of the Wild Hunt, in which all spirits of the dead ride through the night under Odin's leadership).
His retinue consists of 13 spirit warriors - the Valkyries (Valkyrjar), and the souls of the fallen warriors - the Einherjar, who dwell in Valhalla (Hall of the Fallen).
This gleaming hall stood in Gladsheim - in front of it was the grove Glasir, whose trees bore golden leaves. Above the main door of the hall - which was so high that one could hardly see its gable - hung a wolf as a symbol of war, and above it an eagle. The hall itself, roofed with shields over spear shafts, had 540 doors, through which the 800 Einherjar would stride when it was time for the great battle with the Fenris wolf (the warriors gathered for Ragnarok).

It was intended for these brave souls who came to Odin on the battlefield after death. Under Odin's chairmanship, the Valkyries poured the mead generously.
