Who is Odin and what is the significance of Valhalla?

Question

We all know Odin is the primary Norse god or 'All Father', but what is the significance of Odin and Valhalla? Can you apply that to the Kabbala?

Answer 1

I can tell you what Aleister Crowley says on the subject ,Odin is identical in aspect to Zeus and both are attributed to the sephirah of chesed in their ruler-god aspects,but odin is tricky to place as he is part of a trinity ;Odin-,his
'brother" Vili, and a god called Ve."Valhalla"means "hall of the chosen" and it is where 50%percent of those slain in battle went ,the other 50 to the underworld, for more info see Crowley's 777,and "Futhark" by Edrid Thorsson.

Answer 2

Valhalla (Old Norse Valhöll, "Hall of the slain") is Odin's hall in Norse mythology, located in Gladsheim and is the home for those slain gloriously in battle (known as Einherjar) who are welcomed by Bragi and escorted to Valhalla by the valkyries. The main gate is called Valgrind, which is described in Grímnismál as a "sacred gate", behind which are the "holy doors" and "there are few who can tell the manner by which it is locked". The hall itself has 540 doors, so wide that 800 warriors could walk next to each other, walls made of spears, a roof made of shields and benches covered with breastplates. It is said that there is room enough for all those chosen. Here, every day, the slain warriors who will assist Odin in Ragnarök, the gods' final conflict with the giants, arm themselves for battle and ride forth by the thousands to engage in mock combat on the plains of Asgard. At night, they return to Valhalla to feast on roasted boar and drink intoxicating mead. Those who do not get to Valhalla end up in the home of the dead (Hel), a place beneath the underworld (Niflheim), or one of various other places. Those who are lost at sea, for example, are taken to Ægir's hall at the bottom of the sea.-

Answer 3

I'm just starting Kabbalic studies, but my understanding thus far would indicate Odin's association with Tiphareth as a redeemer-god. (The first system I'm planning to completely map out on it is probably Norse, so I'll let you know about the rest, heh...)

Answer 4

Valhalla is basically warriors' heaven. Odin was head god, had reputation for being shady and untrustworthy.

Answer 5

vallhalla was the hall of the gods it was where they feasted
often is is confused with asgard, the warriors heaven
