As I have commented before years ago on some of these groups, I believe that Odin’s missing or closed eye is new/dark moon, whereas the open eye is the sun. Odin is also raven-associated, and I also associate raven with the new/dark moon, coming up in a little more than 13 hours. Some may be interested in my thread“Raven’s Blessings” on alt.native , where I draw a parallel between Haida and Beothuk mythology. Other figures that I think are raven-associated are the Morrigan, maybe Lugh, and maybe Jacob. Do you know of any others? I have also previously commented on “The landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight” from the song Wild Rover, and speculated that it refers to the waxing of the moon from new/dark moon to full moon. Are there any stories of Odin’s closed eye opening up? -- David Dalton [email protected] https://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page) https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) "I'm on my way; And I must flag the last train down" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x0jjvslUuY (Bill Bourne - Baggins)
