Daimler’s Pagan Portals: Odin serves as a basic introduction to one of Norse mythology’s most important deities. There is a general introduction, followed by Odin’s roles in Norse myth, how he is seen outside of Norse culture, and his symbols and associations. The last chapters look at working with Odin today. Each chapter ends with the author’s own experiences learning about and working with Odin.

This book would serve as a great beginning intro to the Allfather for those who know nothing of him at all. However, for those who are more familiar, the information added little that was new. I would have liked to see more in-depth information, but what would have really made me happy would have been practical exercises for working with Odin, like the exercises to be found in Pagan Portals: Gwyn ap Nudd. I love the cover, though!
