Dad™(aka Odin)
aka All Dad, the god of magic, ecstasy, war, and humanities consciousness of inner divinity; He brings knowledge, beer, ideas, written word, and inspiration to help. Sometimes. These are ways I personally honor Dad™ and my personal associations with offerings. If you have something negative to say keep it to yourself, these are personal and work for me.
Do not make a oath you can not keep with him, he takes you word very seriously.
Wear a floppy hat in honor of his floppy hat.
Do research in honor of him. Find a subject you’re passionate about, read books on it, and write notes on it.
Drink meads, wine, stouts, black coffee, and dark teas in honor of him.
Include the runes in your practice or altar, any of them will work. I find he likes
Ansuz, Dagaz, Ehwaz, Ingwaz, Jera, Lagaz, Othala, and Wunjo the most from me.
Give him thanks on Wednesday(Odin’s Day).
Take the time to learn a piece of the local folklore whenever you travel somewhere new.
Practice thinking before you speak and think your actions through before you do them.
Decorate your altar and home in ravens, wolves, runes, and books.
Stay up to date with world news, be informed about what’s going on in your country and others.
Acts of courage in battle(any type of battles) can be dedicated to him.
Light incense or candles of opium, cedar, wine, sandalwood, dragon’s blood, and nag champa.
Learn the Elder Futhark Runes. What Odin did for them, what they are, and then create you’re own if you’re able.
Be courageous in honor of him.
Don’t be an alt-right piece of shit, don’t stand for any of that Nazi bullshit. Nazi’s don’t get into Valhalla.
Use the crystals amethyst, snowflake obsidian, any jasper, and fluorite.
Whenever you are approached by a raven say your good morning and gratitude to them.
Stand up for those in need and for what is right.
Always seek to be better, wiser.
Don’t associate him as this omnipotent deity. Odin bleeds and breaths just like you and I.
He also likes memes just like you and I. Not everything has to be serious with
Dad™.
Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens except you can hear it inexplicably playing - by a whole orchestra no less - while lost in the forest at night. You have a gut feeling that you shouldn’t, but following the music seems like your best bet at no longer being lost. Nevermind that you keep hearing footsteps around you that aren’t yours - there’s no one there, no matter how many times you check.
