Nordic and Gernmanic.

Othin is the chief among the Aesir sky gods, lord of hosts and god of victory in battle who lives in the hall of Valhalla in Asgard.

He rules over an army of warrior spirits, the Valkyries. Othin peoples Valhalla with chosen heroes, slain in battle on earth, who will defend the realm of the gods on the final day of reckoning. Othin passes out magic weapons to his selected earthly heroes.

He rides a winged eight-legged horse and is able to change shape at will. His symbol is the Raven and his weapon is a spear carved with runes that is hurled by the god to influence the course of combat. He is also symbolized by a knotted device, the valknut, representing his power to bind or unbind the minds of warriors and thus influence the outcome of battle. He was the patron god of a fanatical warrior cult, the Berserks.
