The picture:Two fiery snow-white horses pull a wagon with two wheels. Óðinn drives the car. He wears a dark hat with a large brim, a grey mantle and his spear Gun-gnir. His two wolves, Geri and Freki, run beside the car. On his shoulder sits a raven, his other raven circles around his head. Around his upper arm he carries a bronze bracelet. |
Explanation:White horses were sacred with the Germanic people. A chariot with two white horses symbolizes a powerful king or a divine person. The raven are Thought and Memory. The accompany Óðinn in battle. Another name for Óðinn is 'feeder-of-ravens', because he is the lord of battle and death. Raven feed on the corpses on the battlefield. The bronze bracelet is a sign of slavery. Warriors of certain cults among the Germanic people wore such a bracelet until they had killed a person in battle. That would set them free. In later times this was taken literally and they killed another human. In pre-christian times a shaman could wear such a bracelet until he had slain himself. |
