EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century showcases Odin (Woden), the mighty Nordic-Germanic god revered for his multifaceted powers. In this intricate print, Odin is depicted in all his glory, seated on an ornate throne that exudes a sense of regality and authority. Clad in majestic attire, he holds a formidable spear symbolizing war and protection. Odin's wisdom and poetic prowess are evident as he gazes into the distance with an air of contemplation. The presence of a raven perched upon his shoulder further emphasizes his connection to both poetry and wisdom, as these birds were believed to bring him knowledge from afar. As the god of agriculture, Odin embodies the cycle of life and sustenance. His association with farming highlights not only his role as a provider but also underscores his understanding of nature's rhythms. The artist behind this remarkable engraving has skillfully captured every detail, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in Norse mythology and appreciate its rich symbolism. This print serves as a reminder of Odin's significance within Germanic folklore—a deity who encompasses warlike strength alongside intellectual acumen.
