Notes
1.
Uncertain.
2. i.e.: He causes others
to tremble. I have heard it said:
"The heart beatsfaster when Allfather approaches."
3. In a state of ecstatic
trance?
4. Possibly a cultic title.
Also, ravens are the most intelligent of birds.
5. Perhaps the reed is
a runic wand, or runetine?
6. In the sense of a hanged
man swinging from a gallows' tree.
7. The Progenitor of all.
8. Odinic cultic sites
are often found on hills and mountain-tops. As well as being closer
to the Godly realm, these are good defensive positions.
9. Or "Hidden One".
10. As in changing form.
Also "elusive".
11. The original Heathen
"Claus", the Yule Father, in existence long before the modern
so-called "Santa", remembered as an old man carrying a sack
full of gifts. This aspect is similar to Wunsch and Óski.
12. He Who Gifts the
Poetic Mead of divine inspiration.
13. Probably in reference
to His fertility aspect as a God of
harvest--not to mention God of Cargoes and Lord of ritual
processions, which often involved an image or person dressed
as a God or Goddess in a wagon that was drawn around the countryside
in a ritual procession. An old Germanic name for
the constellation Ursa Majoris (the Big Dipper) was "Woden's Wain"
(wagon). In Great Britain this constellation is known as
either "the Plough" or "the Wain" to this day.
14. In my opinion this
means that He is so wise He does not fall victim to treachery. He is
more than capable of seeing through any deception. However, perhaps
this means that He is capable of fooling anyone Himself.
15. As in awesome to
behold. In this aspect Oðinn hanged himself on the world tree, Yggdrasil
("Ygg's Steed") for nine nights in order to win the runes.
See Hávamál.
16. See Gylfaginning.
