Odin (pronounced “OH-din”; Old Norse Óðinn, Old English and Old Saxon Woden, Old High German Wuotan, Wotan, or Wodan, Proto-Germanic *Woðanaz, “Master of Ecstasy”) is one of the most complex and enigmatic characters in Norse mythology, and perhaps in all of world literature. He’s the chief of the Aesir tribe of deities, yet he often ventures far from their kingdom, Asgard, on long, solitary wanderings throughout the cosmos on purely self-interested quests. He’s a relentless seeker after and giver of wisdom, but he has little regard for communal values such as justice, fairness, or respect for law and convention. He’s the divine patron of rulers, and also of outcasts. He’s a war-god, but also a poetry-god, and he has prominent “effeminate” qualities that would have brought unspeakable shame

- Óðinn is de studentenclub voor de mannelijke studenten van de UA. Óðinn werd in 2007 opgericht door Sebastian Houston, Tristan Lambert en Jan Cox. De club is in bepaalde mate de tegenhanger van Hera, waardoor enkel mannelijke leden zich kunnen laten dopen. Verder richt zij zich voornamelijk op de oudere studenten, waardoor veel activiteiten op vrijdag worden georganiseerd.

De club is in bepaalde mate de tegenhanger van Hera, waardoor enkel mannelijke leden zich kunnen laten dopen. Verder richt zij zich voornamelijk op de oudere studenten, waardoor veel activiteiten op vrijdag worden georganiseerd. Mannen worden verwacht in hemd en vest op activiteiten aanwezig te zijn. Van zodra zij hun doop zijn gestart, dienen zij ook hun clubdas te dragen. Schachten dragen een bruine das, werkelijke leden een grijze das en de praeses en prosenioren een zwarte das.

He’s a war-god, but also a poetry-god, and he has prominent “effeminate” qualities that would have brought unspeakable shame to any historical Norse/Germanic warrior. He’s worshiped by those in search of prestige, honor, and nobility, yet he’s often cursed for being a fickle trickster.
