Odin reveals all in candid autobiography shocker
The Sayings Of The High One. This is Odin’s very own autobiography in verse. Here’s a genuine extract, showing Odin’s wit and wisdom:

Praise day in the evening,
A wife, when dead,
A weapon when tried,
A maid, when married,
Ice, when it’s crossed,
Ale, when it’s drunk.
Although the exact authorship, date and publisher of the Havamal is unknown, we can tell you that it forms part of the Poetic Edda (circa 850 AD) and was voted Book of the Year by the Runic Chronicle.
