If you’re going to choose a god to praise, why choose an easily insulted one-eyed old fart with a self-confidence problem? Go with someone with more pizzazz, like Freyja. Goddess of love, beauty, sex, war, magic. Is there anything she doesn’t do?
I love the stories about Atalanta, and how it culminates in her and Hippomenes both being transformed into lions as punishment for shagging in a temple, because at the time people believed that lions couldn’t have offspring together.
The story of Thor dressing up as and pretending to be Freyja in order to get his hammer back from some giants is also pretty sick.
And Amaterasu forever shunning her brotherhusband for in disgust decapitating a lady who invited them to a party she was too lazy to go to.
They’ll probably proudly claim they won without a hint of irony.
Reminds me of that older Odin meme;
“Odin promised the end of all frost giants, and I don’t see any frost giants.”
Well I’m sold.
HAIL ODIN!
How many children are you ̶m̶u̶r̶d̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ sacrificing to Odin today?
The best thing the vikings did was converting to Christianity
Odin kidnapped children and set them to be chased by wolves for all eternity because of how their father named them.
No hailing Oden, please. He’s a cunt.
All the gods are cunts.
Some more than others. Oden is particularly bad.
He’s also co-opted as a symbol for nationalism and white supremacy so there’s that part too.
You must be fun at parties.
Aye, I’m fucking amazing, actually.

Maybe because the person you were talking to most likely doesn’t actually worship Odin and was trying to be funny?
Beauty and magic are not on my bingo card, so I’m a little jealous.
a small price to pay for not having to deal with frost giants, IMHO.
Yeah! All my homies hate frost giants!
The god of the Christian Bible used 2 bears to kill 42 kids for making fun of a bald guy.
Mythology is crazy!

There’s so many quality stories out there.
Damn it. Your realisation just manifested my nose to bleed.
Must be the vaccines
