Ep. 46: "He is Odin's Man" on the Vindelev inscriptions (with Krister Vasshus) 1:31:35

1:31:35

In 2021 in Denmark, a metal detectorist chanced upon twenty-something Migration Era gold objects weighing almost a kilogram in total. Several of these were so-called bracteates, medallions bearing runic inscriptions and strange iconography. One of these stated "... he is Odin's man". That makes it the oldest, direct, by-name reference to the deity …
