Sorry I've been bit away lately...I've been through some emotional stress, but it seems to be getting better now
And to get better, I painted Odin. He is the king of gods in viking mythology, ruler of Valhalla. He has two crows, Hugin and Munin, thought and memory, who will fly around the world to bring news to their master. And no, he is NOT anyway related to Gandalf or any other wizard. He is the king of gods of bloodthirsty viking warriors, so you can guess he isn't a nice kind grandpa whose favorite hobbies include gardening and drinking tea

IIRC, Odin tore out his eye and deposited in the well of Mmir, in exchange for a drink. In the bargain he got to chat with Mmir, got all manner of knowledge, etc. I don't remember any connection to the eye exchange and Huggin and Munnin, though. The ravens travel the worlds every day collecting information, and bring it back to Odin. It's interesting because he has many different methods for getting information, including a throne from which he can see just about everything, H&M, his connection to the well, and the art of seithr which he learned from his wife, Frigg.
