In Norse mythology Odin is the king of the Æsir who rules over Asgard as king. The son of Borr and the giantess Bestla. Odin is the god of wisdom, poetry, war, death, divination and magic. Known as the All-Father. Odin is often accompanied by the two ravens Huginn and Muninn, along with the wolves Geri and Freki, who would devour those who would present false information or lie to Odin. Odin rides into battle atop his trusted steed, the eight-legged Sleipnir, wielding the mighty spear Gungnir, which, fashioned by the dwarves known as the Sons of Ivaldi, is said to never miss its target.

The leader of the wild hunt was Odin and the event was referred to as Odens jakt (Odin's hunt) and Oskoreien (Asgard Ride). Odin's hunt was heard but rarely seen, and a typical trait is that one of Odin's wolves was barking louder and a second one fainter. Beside one or two shots, these barks were the only sounds that were clearly identified. When Odin's hunt was heard, it meant changing weather in many regions, but it could also mean war and unrest. According to some reports, the forest turned silent and only a whining sound and dog barks could be heard.

The find of two Viking ships and 41 Vikings killed in battle on the Estonian Island of Ösel puts a question mark to the beginning of the Viking age. It may have started fifty years earlier than believed.

Jormungandr (pronounced “YOUR-mun-gand;” Old NorseJörmungandr, “Great Beast”), also called the “MidgardSerpent,” is a snake or dragon who lives in the ocean that surrounds Midgard, the visible world. So enormous is he that his body forms a circle around the entirety of Midgard. He’s one of the three children of Loki and the giantessAngrboda, along with Hel and Fenrir. The god Thor is his particular enemy. Two battles between them are recounted in the Eddas. In one, Thor fishes for Jormungand, and fails to pull him up only when the giant Hymir, terrified that this will bring about Ragnarok, severs the line, sending the snake back down to the depths. When Ragnarok does arrive, however, Thor and the Midgard Serpent are fated to slay each other. Jormungand likely already featured in the religion of the original Germanic tribes, as evidenced by his existence in the later pre-Christian religions of different branches of the Germanic peoples. For example, continental Germans attributed earthquakes to his movements well into the Middle Ages. Source: norse-mythology.org . . . . .
