 God with multiple faces, Odin (in old Nordic Odhinn, Woden in Anglo Saxon or Wotan in old Germanic) is a mysterious figure. King of Gods, gos of war, shaman god, god of runes, Odin is also considered as the god of wisdom, poetry and magic. The root Woth means "sacred furor" and expresses the idea of ecstasy, surpassing oneself. To Arnaud d'Apremont, odinism is the symbol of persistence of a tradition, the Nordic tradition which noways reborn from its ashes just like Shintoism which lasted through the multiple upheavals of history.
