The name of Norse supreme god?

Answer 1

The name of the supreme Norse God is Odin (or Wodin has he is sometimes known as).

Answer 2

Supreme Norse God

Answer 3

There is no supreme God in Ásatrú.

Odin, although he is the All-Father is not supreme in the sense as you have in monotheistic religions. He was more like the chairman of the board than a king.The Old Norse religion was polytheistic not monotheistic. Odin was not (and isn't necessarily) worshiped above and to the exclusion of all the others, and in many cases Thor was more popular particularly in the Viking Age.

Answer 4

Odin.
The chief divinity of the Norse pantheon, the foremost of the Aesir. Odin is a son of Bor and Bestla. He is called Alfadir, Allfather, for he is indeed father of the gods. With Frigg he is the father of Balder, Hod, and Hermod. He fathered Thor on the goddess Jord; and the giantess Grid became the mother of Vidar. Odin is a god of war and death, but also the god of poetry and wisdom. He hung for nine days, pierced by his own spear, on the world tree. Here he learned nine powerful songs, and eighteen runes. Odin can make the dead speak to question the wisest amongst them. His hall in Asgard is Valaskjalf ("shelf of the slain") where his throne Hlidskjalf is located. From this throne he observes all that happens in the nine worlds. The tidings are brought to him by his two raven Huginn and Muninn. He also resides in Valhalla, where the slain warriors are taken.

Odin's attributes are the spear Gungnir, which never misses its target, the ring Draupnir, from which every ninth night eight new rings appear, and his eight-footed steed Sleipnir. He is accompanied by the wolves Freki and Geri, to whom he gives his food for he himself consumes nothing but wine. Odin has only one eye, which blazes like the sun. His other eye he traded for a drink from the Well of Wisdom, and gained immense knowledge. On the day of the final battle, Odin will be killed by the wolf Fenrir.

He is also called Othinn, Wodan and Wotan. Some of the aliases he uses to travel icognito among mortals are Vak and Valtam. Wednesday is named after him (Wodan).

Answer 5

As everyone has said Odin was the chief of the Norse 'gods" but unlike other theocracies - The Norse "gods" weren't omniscient or all powerful - they were as fallible as man!

Answer 6

Odin, also went by the name of Wodin, Wotan and Wodan.

Did you know that Wednesdays were originally called Wodin's Day in respect for Wodin (more commonly referred to as Odin these days). However, when Christianity took over they altered things - due to a slight like of imagination they altered the 'o' to an 'e'.

Respectively - Thursday was originally 'Thor's Day' in honor of the Norse god of thunder.

Tuesday and Friday also.

Answer 7

Supreme meaning leader or all-powerful?

Just as I answer Abrahamic Mythology questions with the caveat that I am not a Christian, Muslim or Jew, so I answer here with the caveat I am not an Ásatrúar.

The Norn.

I think even Odin has a pretty strong appreciation for Fate. Just as the Fates could make Zeus say "how high?" so, too, can the Norn boss around Odin.

Not that they WOULD.

Answer 8

Odin.

For other meanings of Odin, Woden or Wotan see Odin (disambiguation), Woden (disambiguation), Wotan (disambiguation).

Odin (Old Norse Óðinn) is considered the chief god in Norse mythology and Norse paganism, like the Anglo-Saxon Woden it is decended from Proto-Germanic *Wōđinaz or *Wōđanaz.

His name is related to óðr, meaning "excitation," "fury" or "poetry," and his role, like many of the Norse pantheon, is complex: he is god of wisdom, war, battle, and death. He is also attested as being a god of magic, poetry, prophecy, victory, and the hunt.

I am technically a Christian, so I suppose I believe in the "Christian God", but, really, I don't believe we can ever understand God until we are dead and have moved on. I don't think people have the right to assume things about God, whether they are attacking or defending, since we don't really know. Since there have been so many gods from so many different cultures and religions, I tend to believe that the actual "God" is the same, just in different forms, depending on how he/she was perceived by the culture in question. Of course, I don't really know. The "Christian God" has names like "The Alpha and Omega" or "The Great I Am". There's a Bible passage that lists a bunch, I just don't know where it is, hehe...
