_Brage_—god of music and song.

_Hovamaal_—bible of Odin.

_Odin_—a wise and virtuous warrior, whose beneficence procured him, among the early Scythians, deification. As a divinity, the father of gods and men, he is the husband of Frea (the earth), and from the union of divine love and the earth, spring light, heat, the elements, the seasons, strength, and genius, typified by Balder, Thor, Frey, Hoder, and Balder again, as orator and poet. Odin, mounted upon his horse Sleipner, represents active benevolence.
