Miscellaneous Studies Towards the Cult of Ódinn

A companion volume to The Cult of Ódinn: God of Death?, Miscellaneous Studies towards the Cult of Ódinn can also stand on its own, as a scholarly study of aspects of the nature of the god of the Germanic-speaking peoples known as Odin, Ódinn, Woden, Wuotan, and still more names. Miscellaneous Studies was originally published in 1994, and the Troth takes great pride in being able to make it available again. Odin's attributes in the myths -- his spear, his cloak, his horse -- are discussed in full. His relationship to the widespread European legend of the Wild Hunt and the Furious Host is explored, and his many names in Old Norse poetry are listed and explained. This is an excellent book for anyone who seeks to understand the nature of the ancient and enigmatic god.
