Norse God Odin Bronze Pendant Viking Pagan

This solid bronze Norse Odin pendant is from Dryad Designs and artist Paul Borda. Odin is known as the Norse All-Father. He sits astride his horse, Sleipnir, who carries souls to the unseen realms. The Spear named Gar, when thrown would always return. Through ritual self-sacrifice, Odin discovered the Runes while hanging from the Yggdrasill, or world Tree. A patron of warriors, he was skilled in magic and a master of primal forces. Known as the One-Eyed God, Odin sacrificed his eye to gain wisdom from the fountain of Mimir. The pendant measures 1 1/4 in diameter, with a bail capable of handling a necklace up to 5mm wide. Set into Odin`s shield is a round cabochon amber stone, a stone of creativity and purity. It makes a great gift for friends and family.
