Gungnir
The Official Bulletin
of the
Holy Nation of Odin, Inc. Outreach Ministry
Gungnir is the name of All-Father Odin’s
mighty and infallible spear. When Odin sacrificed one of his
eyes at Mimir’s Well in exchange for the great knowledge
which he so desired, he decided to commemorate the holy occasion,
by breaking off a branch from the holy world tree; “Yggdrasil”,
which had over shadowed the sacred well/spring. From this bough,
All-Father fashioned his beloved spear, Gungnir. At Loki’s
bidding, the dwarf; Dvalin, forged the spear’s head/tip.
Gungnir never fails to hit its mark. Oaths sworn upon its tip
cannot be broken, and those whom Odin casts the spear over,
become dedicated to him and are destined to assume their place
in Valhalla when they pass from Midgard. Both Odin and Njørd
grazed themselves with the spear in an act of dedication to
Odin. Such rituals of dedication to Odin continue to this day.
May Gungnir mark your soul and lead you to that all holy place
in his divine presence.
Heil All-Father Odin! And Heil the holy Æsir and Vanir
in his venerable name.
