#Hávamál (Words of the High One) #Viking Words of Wisdom

“Odin is known for his love and pursuit of wisdom. Another account of this is found in the #Völuspá where #Odin learns of #Ragnarok. To gain wisdom he is known to go to great sacrifice. At one occassion sacrifincing an eye to #Mimir, his uncle and the #Aesir god of good council. That was to be allowed to drink from his well of wisdom at the foot of #Yggdrasil the world tree.”
