About Me

For all these who always wondered where the bloody hell did i find such nickname, here it is:1)Odin (well that's simple) :Odin, Wuotan, or Woden was the highest and holiest god of the Northern races. He was the all-pervading spirit of the universe, the personification of the air, the god of universal wisdom and victory, and the leader and protector of princes and heroes. As all the gods were supposed to be descended from him, he was surnamed Allfather, and as eldest and chief among them he occupied Asgard, the highest seat. Odin was generally represented as a tall, vigorous man, about fifty years of age, either with dark curling hair or with a long gray beard and bald head. He was clad in a suit of gray, with a blue hood, and his muscular body was enveloped in a wide blue mantle all flecked with gray — an emblem of the sky with its fleecy clouds. When he wandered about the earth in human guise, to see what men were doing, he generally donned a broad-brimmed hat, drawn down low over his forehead to conceal the fact of his having but one eye. (Taken from H.A. Gueber´s - Myth Of The Northern Lands, found at: http://www.vaidilute.com)2)Ibn: In Arabic names, "ibn" means "son of". (Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org)3)Hvelgemer: Wrongly found before years in a magazine, but since i had become quite attached to it i never changed it. The correct should be Hvergelmir, so here it is:Hvergelmir is the wellspring of cold in Niflheim in Norse mythology. All cold rivers are said to come from here, and it was said to be the source of the eleven rivers, Élivágar. The name means approximately "The seething cauldron". Above the spring, the serpent Níðhöggr gnaws on one of the roots of the world ash, Yggdrasil.
