Odin, one of the primary gods in Norse mythology, was being worshipped at least 150 years earlier than previously thought, according to a recently found centuries-old disc in Denmark.
Experts Krister Vasshus, left, and Lisbeth Imer hold golden bracteates unearthed in Vindelev, Denmark, in late 2020.The disc features an inscription: “He is Odin’s man,” said Krister Vasshus, a linguist who helped to decipher the runic inscription. He added that it also features a name or nickname “Jaga” or “JagaR,” who was likely the king or ruler of the place where the bracteate was made.
“The carver knew exactly how to shape the runes to make them perfect, simply perfect,” he added. “They are exquisite.” “Odin is highest and eldest of the Æsir [the primary group of Norse gods]: he rules all things, and mighty as are the other gods, they all serve him as children obey a father,” it says.
Vasshus said the bracteate may have been buried to hide it from enemies or as a tribute to appease the gods.
