Óðr

Common card · No. 238081

In Norse mythology, Óðr (in Old Norse: 'mind', 'wit', 'soul', 'sense' or 'the frenzied one' by Orchard) or Óð, anglicized as Ódr or Ód, is a god associated with desire, passion and inspiration. The Prose Edda and Heimskringla, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, both describe Óðr as the husband of Freyja, the father of Hnoss and Gersemi, and one of the Vanir. A number of theories have been proposed about Óðr, generally that he is a hypostasis of the god Odin due to their similarities.
