Odin
The All-Father is the head of the gods, Ruler of the Aesir and the Vanir and literal father to many deities. Odin is said to be the most powerful of the gods. His wisdom is rulership and magical powers are considerable and he is said to have gifted both Runes and Magic itself to the world of Mortals.
He appears in differnet guises; Sometimes as a Jarl, wearing Resplended armour, a helmet of Gold and a Brilliant Cape of red, wielding Gungir, his Dwarven forged spear that unearing strikes whatever it is thron at. In many other tales however, he appers as simple old man in a worn cloak or robe with a walking stick. The other uniform quality between these two guidesbeing the patch that covers his missing eye.
Odin, of course, hung himself from the World-Tree in order to gian knowledge; it is from this that he lost his eye, but gained both his Supreme Magic and the ability to see things as they are.

Tenets of Faith
Odin values valour in battle, wisdom in judgement, and self-reliance. Those who would win his favour cannot be timid and must strive to perfect themselves in whatever they are pursuing. He views Honour as very important, as well as loyalty. Oathbreakers and Kinslayers are not to be tolerated. Testing oneself against others and the world itself is critical, for only then may one know if you have the favour of the gods.
Lastly, obedience to Wyrd, to fate, and the understanding that life is finite and all will see their thread cut sooner or later.
Holidays
While Odin is honoured on most Holidays, the Vernal and Autumnal Equinox' are especially tied to him, and sacrifices on those days said to be more potent.
