Odin is arguably one of the most enigmatic and complex characters in Norse mythology. Revered since the Viking Age, Odin has been called the greatest of the gods—the god of words and wisdom, runes and magic, a transformer of consciousness, and a trickster who teaches truth. He is both war god and poetry god, and he is the Lord of Ravens, the All- Father, and the rune master.
Odin: Ecstasy, Runes, and Norse Magic is the first book on Odin that is both historically sourced and accessible to a general audience. It explores Odin’s origins, his appearances in sagas, old magic spells, and the Poetic Edda, and his influence on modern media, such as Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. Each chapter features suggestions for rituals, exercises, and music, so readers can comprehend and become closer to this complicated god.
Author Diana Paxson, an expert on Viking-era mythology, provides a complete portrait of Odin and draws on both scholarship and experience to provide context, resources, and guidance for those who are drawn to work with the Master of Ecstasy today.
Diana Paxson is a writer, priestess, and teacher who has been studying and teaching Germanic mythology and religion for nearly 30 years. She is the author of Taking Up the Runes, Essential Asatru, Trance-Portation, and Possession, Depossession, and Divine Relationships. Paxson also pioneered the recovery of traditional Norse oracular practice, described in The Way of the Oracle.

Odin was known also as Votan( Vatan).Since the Russians mixed a lot with the Vikings,the name Odin is Russian,Slavic,meaning One!
The first rulers of Kievan Rus were Vikings,like Rurik I. Most Russians are Varyags( Varangians= Dragons),the best warriors in the world,
never loosing a war!!! Warning to the US,the earthly copy of the female-dragon-serpent in the sky,since America( Ama-ruca) is female shaped continent.Therefore,USAtan shall be slain by the Russian St.George-the Dragon Slayer on White horse of Apocalypse( Christ), see the centre of the Russian two headed eagle!! In 2033,USAtan shall not exist anymore,and Novus Ordo Seclorum takes the world over!
