Odin ~ The one-eyed All-Father ๐ฆ
๐ฒ๐ He is complete! ๐ค I do hope you like ๐ฅฐ What mythical creatures or gods/goddesses would you like to see me draw? Give me some suggestions... Odin has many names and is the god of both war and death. Half of the warriors who die in battle are taken to his hall of Valhalla. He is the one-eyed All-Father, who sacrificed his eye in order to see everything that happens in the world. His two ravens Hugin and Munin (thought and memory) ๐ฆ

fly around the world and report back what they see. He wanted to know everything and gain wisdom and knowledge of things hidden from him. This was a desire that drove him to sacrifice himself ๐ During his sacrificial actions, he saw visions and received secret wisdom. The magical knowledge he gained made him able to cure the sick, calm storms, turn weapons against his attackers, make women fall in love and render dangerous troll women harmless โ often just with a look. Odin was also a shapeshifter, meaning that he could change shape. He could fall into an ecstatic trance and send out his soul, allowing him to adopt the form of another person or an animal. While his body lay in a trance, he could travel as a bird or a four-legged animal, a fish or a snake, through all the worlds and to far-off places ๐ฒโฐ #WoodsmanEnchanted #Odin #ink #inkdrawing #painting #raven #godofwar #mythology #mythical #artinspiration #norsetattoo #odintattoo #norsemythology #norseart #norsegods #wild #druids #creativity #darkart #norsegod #tattooideas #odinseye #artistsoninstagram #magick #countryside #magical #magic #artoftheday #enchanting #unique https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ8JF2fBjs_/?igshid=5kogapqdr6j6
