Wōden was the sovereign god of the Germanic peoples, forms of his name being found throughout the Germanic world. The form Wōden is that found in Old English. He was identified with the Roman god Mercury apparently in part, to judge from what is said of his Old Norse version Óðinn, because he was connected with writing, was connected with the dead, and because he conquered giants more by trickery than by brute force. The proto-Germanic form of his name is reconstructed as *Wōđanaz. His wife, in Old English, was Frīg.

- Woden was worshipped during the Migration period, until the 7th or 8th century, when Germanic paganism was gradually replaced by Christianity, after which he was euhemerized as an important historical king, with multiple Anglo-Saxon kings claiming descent from him. Woden features prominently in both English and Continental folklore as the leader of the Wild Hunt. In Germany, a late attestation of an invocation of Wodan dates to the late sixteenth century.
