| | info: ODIN |
 | | Odin is deeply associated with the concept of the Wild Hunt, a noisy, bellowing movement across the sky, leading a host of the slain, directly comparable to Vedic Rudra. |
 | | Odin was a compulsive seeker of wisdom, consumed by his passion for knowledge, to the extent that he sacrificed one of his eyes (which one this was is unclear) to Mimir, in exchange for a drink from the waters of wisdom in Mimir's well. |
 | | Odin's son Balder, a god of light, shares some of Jesus' traits (who was called the light) as a youthful 'dying and rising' god, but unlike in the case of latter, his resurrection fails and he has to remain in the underworld. |
