## Odin, Lord of Asgard

Odin was the chief god of Norse myth, tied to wisdom, war, death, and poetry. He sought knowledge at any cost. At Mimir's well he gave up an eye for one drink of wisdom. He later hung nine nights on the world tree Yggdrasil to learn the runes. Two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, flew the world each day. Their names mean thought and memory. They reported all they saw to Odin. The hollow eyes on this Nordic Odin badge suit a god who paid for what he knew.

## Odin in Viking Art

Vikings carried small images of their gods. A tiny silver figure from Lejre in Denmark, made around 900, is usually read as Odin. It shows him seated on a high seat with two birds beside him. It is less than two centimeters tall. Pieces like it may have been worn as amulets. This pewter pin carries that tradition of the small, wearable god.

## The Viking Age

The Vikings left Scandinavia from the late 8th century and raided, traded, and settled in Britain and Ireland. Their longships could cross rough seas and shallow rivers. The card explains their rise.

## Styling and Wearing the Odin Mask Pin

Wear the Odin tie tack on a jacket, shirt, tie, or hat. Its narrow 3/4 in width suits a lapel. On a dark jacket, the fine details stand out. It makes an easy gift for a fan of Norse myth or a student of the sagas.

## Care Notes

Wipe the pewter with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Store it flat to protect the finish.
