Episode 11 - Óðinn, Hunter of Souls
Manage episode 338455210 series 3361186
In this episode we'll cover some of your deepest and most pressing questions about Óðinn, the chief of the Norse gods. What does he want? Where did he come from? And I don't mean who was his father, I mean, where did he really come from? How was Óðinn worshipped in ancient times? Did everyone venerate him or just a select few? Is there a secret to getting into Valhǫll without dying in battle? And if someone decides to worship Óðinn, what are the chances he might kill them himself? Join me on a deep dive into the character of this enigmatic hunter of souls and his ancient, frightening origins.
