The swastika symbol features prominently in this artwork.
Drawn three decades before the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany,
the swastika is used here as an ancient pagan sun-wheel without racist or anti-Semitic connotations.

Odin and Billing's Daughter

Odin and Gunnlöd




Odin's Self-Sacrifice
 



  
Harbarðsljóð

    

 
"Who is that Churl of Churls who cries across the water?"
 



"I fought with Hrungnir"

 
"Keep on the left hand way until you reach Verland!"
 
 

Odin on Sleipnir
   
Þrymskviða
  
  
  
The hammer was stolen while Thor slept
 
"Hear Now Loki! The As' hammer is stolen!"
 

Loki flies in Freyja's falcon guise
"I would lend it to thee, were it made of gold."
 

The Loki Laufey's son said, "I will go with you as a servant, we two shall drive to Jötunheim"

 

"Why are her looks so piercing? Methinks fire burns in her eyes!"


  
Hymiskviða


"You shall give the Aesir a feast!"

  
  
"I expect you will obtain bait from an ox!"

 

"With his hammer, he struck the foul monster's head"
 
 

From the east he saw coming, a troop of many-headed giants
 
"Strike at the head of Hymir...it is stronger than any cup!"
   
 

Thor's goat lamed in one leg 
He slew all the Mountain-Giants who had persued him with Hymir
