Woden, also known as Odin, is a major god in Norse mythology. He is often associated with wisdom, war, and poetry. Woden is depicted as a one-eyed figure, having sacrificed one of his eyes for knowledge. He is the leader of the Aesir, a group of gods that includes Thor and Freyja. Woden is also linked to the concept of the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession through the sky. He is often accompanied by his two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who represent thought and memory. Woden's influence extends to various aspects of culture, including literature and modern interpretations of mythology.
