Odin: (or Wuotan, Woden) He is the holiest of Norse gods, and sits on the throne of Asgard called Hlidskialf. All other gods are descended from him, thus he is surnamed All father. He is usually depicted as middle aged with dark hair (or bald with a hat or hood) and a gray beard. In his hand he carries the spear Gungnir, and on his finger he wears the ring Draupnir, a symbol of prosperity. Odin is always represented with one eye hidden, as he sacrificed an eye to gain wisdom at Mimir's Well.
