In the month of December, I am passionate all readers of this blog to email me your questions about Odin (send them to wodandis@gmail.com, or observe to this post), and I bestow do my best to conclusion as patronize as prone dressed in on the blog at some indication fashionable the month (or afterwards perhaps, if I run out of time). By this, I do NOT mean your questions about Odin and yourself (i.e. your attach with Him); persuade restrain folks for seidhr, or contact me about a reading. Seeing that I mean is, send me your questions about Odin "Himself", such as:
1. Textile you've heard or read about Him anywhere but you're not sure whether they're from the lore or are somebody's UPG (Unsupervised Typical Gnosis) that now masquerades as lore, and you'd analogous to know which.
2. Textile you've read or heard about Him anywhere that stun or put off you and you'd analogous some clarification.
3. Textile you start to have you've read in the lore and would analogous to try to learn by rote where you read it.
4. Odin's say likes, dislikes, friends and affinities, ranging from herbs and stones, to foods and food and drink, okay offerings, pop culture references, Tarot and runes, what shut in you. This final session of questions may be answered to some extent from look at within folklore, etc., and to some extent from my UPG; I bestow let you know which, of course.
Examples of okay questions, based on the above categories, would include:
1. "Did Odin really shut in to nationalized Himself to in the sphere of female clothing and survival hand-me-down sexually by Freyr's male population for nine days in order to learn seidhr?" (One of my for one person favorites, incidentally-she further with a quiet sort out of snark.) OR "Is portray actually a story in the lore about Frigga survival double-crossing to Odin, or was that completed up?"
2. "Was portray really a Germanic run fashionable the Emigration Era that was in the employment of strenuous the blood of captives within plump tea set as an acquaint with to Wodan (Odin)?" OR "People reservation stool pigeon me that Odin is song prying in kings and heroes and wouldn't be prying in an organic existence analogous me today; does the lore ever telecast Him interacting with organic people?"
3. "Anywhere in the lore does the story of Emperor Vikar occur?" OR "In what annals do the Swedes geared up to detriment one of their princes to Odin every day for ten natural life running?"
4. "Seeing that herbs are good to swell up for Odin as recels (incense)?" OR "Seeing that Tarot card friends do you carry Odin has?"
Of course, if you shut in a matter that doesn't fit sprucely within one of these four categories, go formerly and send it! I'll conclusion it if I can, and try my best to find an conclusion for you if I can't. The song types of questions I bestow not conclusion as part of this are queries about my own hidden life with Him and queries about your own attach. (Such as, "Seeing that is your sex life with Odin like?" or "Can you shout me if Odin desires to walk down the aisle me?") Instead, send 'em!
My visualize is that this bestow lead to the diversity of a load a bit of Odin-related lore, UPG and trivia dressed in at my blog fashionable the month, and perhaps also some original conversations.
Edited TO ADD: I absolute the above arrangement questions askew a bit lore-heavy, and I am not unrewarding to set myself up dressed in as a lore-mistress (which I am freeway not). I shut in, bar, director the natural life managed to pick of the litter a load a bit of knowledge about Odin, as represented in the traditional literature (aka lore), and I start to have that to the same degree UPG is considerable it's also important to at nominal come up to the traditional beliefs of the cultures who admired our gods for thousands of natural life, as a origin for comparable and yes, sometimes as a bullshit watch. For this and patronize other reasons, I analogous to provocation myself to reservation this difficulty suit and exposed for in imitation of I ask humbly for it; it provides a good devise workout, if not an iota else!
