Odin, the ancient God
It is said that it was Odin who obtained through a sacrifice, for nine days and nine nights, knowledge and wisdom from the Runes. Although these symbols are related to occult methods, they have a close relationship with the symbolic, anthropological and psychological sphere.
"Odin had two special ravens,
Hugin and Munin,
whose names mean
thought and memory respectively".
The D-Rune, Dagaz, symbolizes the divine twins (dawn and dusk) represented by the visible stars and contains the paradox of polarity, on which the cult of Odin is centered and characterized. This vortex of polarized concepts is synthesized through a secret “alchemy” where the two extremes become one. This Rune represents the time/place in which darkness and light, pleasure and pain, life and death, body and soul, matter and energy; are synthesized into a common concept that goes beyond perceived opposition.
The Rune-A, Ansuz, is instrumental in the creation of the human being and defines two of the several spiritual gifts bestowed: (1) önd or anda, breath, spirit or the principle that animates life; (2) òdhr, mental activity or inspiration. This force is received from Æsir and transformed into humanity so that it is returned to the multiverse through magical and religious acts. Ansuz is the container-receiver-transformer of the expression of spiritual power and numinous wisdom (metaphysical) that goes hand in hand with the knowledge obtained by Odin from the Runes.
