For those who don't know, Odin is a both a warrior and a god of wisdom and learning. He plucked out his eye, then hung himself from a tree for three days in search of gnosis.

And that's when the runes ("mysteries") were revealed to him.

I assume those are Huginn and Muninn flying above him... ;)

Northern mythology is a lot of fun. :)

He was greeted by gnosis, and after eating crow (or raven) had halignosis.

I'm a huge Mercedes Lackey fan and Vanyel is one of my favorites.

For Rob Boylan, this is the best image I could find of Oghma, the Irish god of eloquence (and wrestling champion). He is often pictured with chains from his tongue to his or another's ears representing the power of eloquence and bardcraft. Oghma also invented the Ogham alphapet, which fills the same function as the runes do for the Norse and the Hebrew alphabet does for Quaballists.
