odin has no linguistic parallels outside of scandinavia
the scholarship linking him to hinduism is junk
he's probably a native god
I said similar
I do not believe odin was ever in india
and he is the sky father
he assumes the indo european role of sky father
yeah, due to the migration age and viking life style of migration, he is the god of migrating
germans continued to worship tiw as the head god on the continent in germany
hence being teutonic
that depends as they defer to odin as more powerful almost always
odin was not to be trifled with
with daily worship in much of scandinavia
the last king of the saxons did a ritual for tiw as the head god
as odin had creation powers and was almost omnipotent
and all knowing
yeah
tiw I read was the god of war, justice (law), the forest, and the people, hence the national leader god
odin makes more sense for migrators and vikings
odin's two brothers aren't real gods
alliteration to have three gods create teh world who are aspects of odin
I know, will and something else
Brahma is exactly the same with 3 heads
votan, vili, and ve
I forgot what ve translate to in english
I remember it being what they call a shrine
it all relates to creation
if I recall right it is senses and physical features?
it's something like I inspire, I will, and I divine
yeah
will being the creation part
as he wills everything into being by thinking of it
so how is this not like hinduism?
and the beings he can't destroy are chaos
if it line ups with brahma
and tiw lines up with dyaus
hinduism lacks the concepts of kingship
I would compare hinduism to heathenism like I would compare judaism to christianity
also inherent to odin
they have kings and rajs
