Fabric poster "Odin on Sleipnir", white - black

Fabric poster "Wotan riding", black print on white background...

Odin - finder of the runes, god of runic wisdom and patron god of the skalds.
He is the high god of the Aesir / supreme and first deity / god of poetry, knowledge, and 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, legend has it that Odin created the first human couple (Askr and Embla) and gave them a soul.
He sits on his throne, Hlidskialf - in the hall of Walaskialf in the divine fortress of Asgard - and can observe the entire 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), who 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 (ravenous). With his eight-legged stallion Sleipnir, he rides against the forces of darkness!
Odin pledged his eye to his uncle Mimir in order to drink the mead Odrörir from the Well of Truth. 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 also the guide of the dead in general (as expressed by the older myth of the Wild Hunt), in which all the 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 the grove Glasir, whose trees bore golden leaves. Above the main door of the hall (which was so high that one could barely see its gable) hung a wolf as a symbol of war, and above that an eagle. The hall itself - covered with shields over spear shafts - had 540 doors, through which those 800 Einherjar would stride when the great battle with the Fenris wolf began (the warriors gather for Ragnarök).

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