Odin He is the most powerful God of Asgard and is the head of the Aesir, in Norse mythology. Odin is sometimes called the omnipotent or the wanderer, he has, in fact, many names, because he has taken many forms on various occasions. Odin looks like a wizard and may have been an inspiration to Gandalf for JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit books.
Odin is associated with healing, death, royalty, wisdom, battle, witchcraft, poetry, and the runic alphabet, and is believed to be "the leader of souls." The modern word "Wednesday" is named after Odin and comes from the Germanic word Wotan which means "Odin", so Wednesday is "Odin's day." Odin lives in the house called Valaskialf, in this house, Odin has a tall tower and on top of the tower he has a throne called Hlidskialf, from here Odin can see through all the nine worlds. Odin is the grandson of Buri the first Æsir, and is the son of the half-God, half-Giant Bestla and Bor.
Odin has two brothers, Vili and Ve, along with his brothers Odin created the world in Norse mythology. Odin is married to the beautiful Goddess Frigg, together they have children Baldr and Hod, but Odin also has other children. Some of the giants that live in Jotunheim (the land of the giants), it is so beautiful that even Odin could not resist. So Odin has traveled many times to Jotunheim to be with one of those beautiful giants.
This has resulted in Odin becoming the father of Thor (the God of Thunder) with the giant Jörð which means earth, you may also know her under the name of Fjörgyn. Odin and the giant Grid also have a son named Vidar. Odin and the giant Rind also have a son named Vali.
Odin is capable of shapeshifting like Loki, and can shapeshift into an animal or human at any time he wants. Odin mainly speaks in phrases and riddles, and Odin's voice is so soft that everyone who hears him thinks that everything he says is true.
Odin can also say a single word and he will be blowing the flames of a fire, or attenuating the waves of the sea. Odin is rarely active in battle, but when he is, he can make his enemies blind in combat, deaf or horrified, Odin can even make his weapons strike like sticks, or make his own men as strong as a stick. bear and go crazy.
Odin can predict the fading of all humans, and see his past, he even knows that one day Ragnarok (Ragnarök) will begin and there is nothing he can do to prevent it. Odin also has the ability to travel to remote lands, in his memory or that of others. Odin can send people to their deaths or give them a disease. Some Vikings sacrificed themselves to Odin, and gave him good promises, hoping to know if they could win a battle or not.
Sleipnir is an eight-legged gray horse, this horse is a magical horse, and the most beautiful of all horses. Sleipnir is the symbol of the wind and has the marks of hell on it. The Sleipnir can gallop just as easily in the air as it does on the ground. Sleipnir was born to the Loki when she transformed into a mare and used the giant builder's stallion to get pregnant (the giant builder was the one who built the walls around Asgard, the home of the gods). Sleipnir was later given to Odin as a gift from Loki.
