Hƶner/Hƶnir/HÅnir/Honir or how ever you spell it, is a mysterius god indeed.
Asir god of the kults rites and festive times, god of birds and most of them the stork. Hes Life giver and he who walks on the muddy lands between.
Hes rather passive and full of a mysterius nature. Hes described as tall, with long legs. Fitting sense hes also called "the fast asir". All tho hes said to be also build rather big but still handsome. All tho by some called the most timid and easy scared of the gods. Rarely chosing the sword. Maybe thats for his favor sense he is fated to survive Ragnarƶk.
Hes name may be related to the the old german hehÅniaz and the old Greek cognate ĪŗĻĪŗĪ½ĪæĻ 'swan' and Sanskrit ą¤¶ą¤ą„न (Åakuna) 'bird of omen', this support that HÅnir was connected with the stork. This is strengthen with his epithets "langifótr" (Long-legs) and "aurkonungr" (mud-king).
Hƶnir, One of the first, one of the old gods. He who some say walked the beach ones and gave reason, energi and viability to humans.
Hes a wanderer who went on manny adventures with Odin and Loki in the early days of the world, before asgards great walls was built.
In Loka TƔttur, Odin him and Loki try to save a young lad from a giant, Odin turn the boy in to a grain but fails, then Hƶnir summons great swans and turn the boy in to a feather on the swans head, but failes to hide him, leaving it to Loki to save him, but thats a story for a nother time.
After the asir and vanir war, he and Mimir was seent to Vanaheim as a prisoner of war, ambassador and king. All tho when the Vanir noticed hes wisdom was laking and indecisive when ever Mimir was not with him they killed Mimir and cut of his head, that Odin later brought back to life. What happend to Hƶnir after that is unknown, perhaps he stayed in Vanaheim, or returned to Asagard or perhaps he went back to wondering the muddy beaches again.
Who knows, but as the birds return for spring, i cant help but to think about this great god of mysterys.
