Odin ( /ˈoʊdɨn/; from Old Norse Óðinn) is a major god in Norse mythology and the ruler of Asgard. Homologous with the Old English "Wōden" and the Old High German "Wôdan", the name is descended from Proto-Germanic "*Wodanaz" or "*Wōđanaz". "Odin" is generally accepted as the modern English form of the name, although, in some cases, older forms may be used or preferred. His name is related to ōðr, meaning "fury, excitation," besides "mind," or "poetry." His role, like that of many of the Norse gods, is complex. Odin is a principal member of the Æsir (the major group of the Norse pantheon) and is associated with war, battle, victory and death, but also wisdom, magic, poetry, prophecy, and the hunt. Odin has many sons, the most famous of whom is Thor.
Worship of Odin may date to Proto-Germanic paganism. The Roman historian Tacitus may refer to Odin when he talks of Mercury. The reason is that, like Mercury, Odin was regarded as Psychopompos, "guide of souls."
The Ruling Class Of The World
Plot
Family Affairs is a comedy short about Clarence, a young business minded man who starts impersonating as his dead twin brother, taking over his practice as a spiritual healer. Without any knowledge or experience within the field of alternative medicine, Clarence becomes dependent on his late brother's partner and lover Lydia to help him. Clarence soon learns that being a healer is not as easy as he first assumed it would be.
Plot
Long before he was worthy to wield the war hammer, Mjolnir, Thor, son of Odin, was an impetuous young prince of Asgard hungry to prove himself a worth warrior. To that end, he and his half-brother, Loki, stow away with the the Warriors Three to find the Sword of Surtur in Yodenheim. However, that quest would prove more challenging than the prince anticipated as grave perils and agonizing moral choices arise. Now, Thor must call upon far more than his strength to save his people from the consequences of both of his and his father's mistakes in an adventure that would help shape him as the great Avenger of a later time and world.

Thoughts and memories you have seen
Ravens sit on my shoulders
I must know what has been
Gunghir made of Yggdrasil's own wood
Show the world who I am
Odin the father of gods
Berserks die screaming my name
Father of all the Gods
Odin I am
Slayer of giants of ice
Odin I am
Reaper of battlefields
Odin I am
Master of runes and war
Odin I am
I sit in my halla on Hlidskialf
I can see the future and the end
Ragnarök death of the Gods
Where I'll make my final stand
I strove to find future and knowledge
When I drank from wisdom's spring
One eye I gave to Mimir the guardian
near to the blaze i wander
through this black night i ponder
the edge of our mighty swords did clash
fallen by our axes helmets smashed
glory and fame blood is our name
souls full of thunder hearts of steel
killers of men a warrior's friend
sworn to avenge our fallen brothers
to the end
one day too i may fall
i will enter odin's hall
i will die sword in hand
my name and my deeds
will scorch the land
glory and fame blood is our name
souls full of thunder hearts of steel
killers of men a warrior's friend
sworn to avenge our fallen brothers
sons of the gods today we shall die
open valhalla's door
let the battle begin
with swords in the wind
hail gods of war!
sons of odin we four
by the hammer of thor
ride down from the sky
another is born another shall fall
this day men will die
glory and fame blood is our name
souls full of thunder hearts of steel
killers of men a warrior's friend
sworn to avenge our fallen brothers
sons of the gods today we shall die
open valhalla's door
let the battle begin
with swords in the wind
hail gods of war!
sons of the gods today we shall die
open valhalla's door
let the battle begin
with swords in the wind
hail gods of war!
let the battle begin
with swords in the wind
hail gods of war!
onward into the heart of the battle fought the
sons of odin. outnumbered many times, still they
fought on. blood poured forth from their
wounds deep into the earth, vultures waited for
the broken shells that once were bodies. but odin
alone would choose the day they would enter
valhalla, and in their hour of need
he sent forth unto them the berserker rage!
now gods and men they rose up from the ground
screaming like wild animals,
such is the gift of absolute power! no blade or
weapon could harm them; they killed men and
horses alike, and all who stood before them
died that day!
