Odin and Mimir

Description

I've taken the inspiration for this image from the entries for Odin and Mimir in the Encyclopoedia Mythica which can be found here [link]

On Odin it says, "..Odin has only one eye, which blazes like the sun. His other eye he traded for a drink from the Well of Wisdom, and gained immense knowledge."

On Mimir it says, "Mimir is the giant in Norse mythology who guards the "Well of the Highest Wisdom", situated in Jotunheim under of the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. He stands half-immersed in the water and on his powerful shoulders he is supporting the Kjolen Mountains. It is said that he has been standing there since the beginning of time and that with the passing of millennia he became part of the mountain itself. "

I'm really pleased with the giant (especially his eyes and the trees on the slopes of the mountain)

Hope you enjoy it!

I came across this while I was searching for deviations of Odin. I've heard of Mimir, but I didn't realize that in one tradition he was a giant with such a cool description. I really like the concept of this. :+fav:
