Gungnir

of the
Holy Nation of Odin, Inc. Outreach Ministry

Gungnir is the name of All-Father Odin’s mighty and infallible spear. When Odin sacrificed one of his eyes at Mimir’s Well in exchange for the great knowledge which he so desired, he decided to commemorate the holy occasion, by breaking off a branch from the holy world tree; “Yggdrasil”, which had over shadowed the sacred well/spring. From this bough, All-Father fashioned his beloved spear, Gungnir. At Loki’s bidding, the dwarf; Dvalin, forged the spear’s head/tip. Gungnir never fails to hit its mark. Oaths sworn upon its tip cannot be broken, and those whom Odin casts the spear over, become dedicated to him and are destined to assume their place in Valhalla when they pass from Midgard. Both Odin and Njørd grazed themselves with the spear in an act of dedication to Odin. Such rituals of dedication to Odin continue to this day.

May Gungnir mark your soul and lead you to that all holy place in his divine presence.
Heil All-Father Odin! And Heil the holy Æsir and Vanir in his venerable name.
