Odin/Woden/Wodanaz, also known as the gallows god.

Wanted to represent odin more accurately to the old norse religion as a god of kingship, ectasy/madness, war and death as I feel people flanderize him too often.

Gods Who Mask As Other Gods

Loki borrows Freya's falcon cloak in the story of the Theft of Idunna's Apples. Loki is a shape shifter. In the Eddaic stories, he appears in various forms, including a fly, a seal, etc. In Continental European folklore, he appears as a red fox. It's very likely that he could have turned into a bird without Freya's divine object. For what purpose did he borrow it? It would make sense in the story to borrow it to have a greater flight time, but that would only be the answer if his shape shifting power was limited, and there does not appear to be any evidence for that. So, I think the answer is that he borrowed it to mask as Freya. So that when he flew over Jotunheim, the giants below would not know it was him.

-Germanic legends of gods and heroes, second book

I. Odin-Wotan.

Odin leads us into the highest and deepest, the finest and most spiritual elements of the Germanic nature. Thor-Donar is the god of farmers, Odin-Wotan, the victorious king, is the god of people-leading princes and heroes

1); but at the same time (and that is the wonderful thing about this combination Whole for the Germanic folk-characteristic character) he is the god of world wisdom and poetry; the great kings of the migration of peoples and the emperors of the Middle Ages as well as the eternally searching one on the other hand Faust of German world wisdom: Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Schelling, but also the greatest Germanic ones Poets: Shakespeare, Goethe and the poet-philosopher Schiller; - all these men would have under that Asen belief regards Odin as their special tutelary god; all these are so fundamentally different among themselves and yet evenly so sharply indicative of Germanic peculiarities - they are Appearances of what the pagan antiquity of our people placed in their supreme god; Full of foreboding, the Germans clutched at their own breasts and claimed their supreme glory in state and Art of victory, its heroism, its deepest depth in brooding research, its most longing poetic enthusiasm embodied in his mysterious king of the gods; it blows on us like showers From the primeval depths of our people, we set about interpreting Odin's runes and lifting the folds of his dark blue coat. - Where does that combination of apparently incompatible elements in a divine form come from? The cause lies partly in the natural basis, partly in Odin's position as supreme king and Head of the Valhalla Gods. Its natural basis is the air - the all-pervading one; from this all-penetration he also leads that names; we New High Germans, of course, only need "wade", "wade through" more of walking through of the water, at most a dense meadow or a sandy area; but Old High German watan, Old Norse vadha, meant every step through and penetration2); but the air, in all its forms and apparitions, what a wealth of opposites it contains! From the silent and motionless blue ether, from the gentle, mysterious murmur of the spring night, scarcely that makes young birch leaves tremble, up to the terrible roaring storm wind, which is the strongest in the forest oak trunks bend; - all these appearances are appearances of Wotan; - he is to say the least whisper and no less in the raging storm. But because of his airy nature, Wotan became even more; -he
