    Biography:
    Wôdan is the Germanic God for whom Wednesday is named. From Wikipedia:
    Woden was worshipped during the Migration period, until the 7th or 8th century, when Germanic paganism was gradually replaced by Christianity, after which he was euhemerized as an important historical king, with multiple Anglo-Saxon kings claiming descent from him. Woden features prominently in both English and Continental folklore as the leader of the Wild Hunt. In Germany, a late attestation of an invocation of Wodan dates to the late sixteenth century.
    Anglo-Saxon polytheism reached Great Britain during the 5th and 6th centuries with the Anglo-Saxon migration, and persisted until the completion of the Christianization of England by the 8th or 9th century.
    For the Anglo-Saxons, Woden was the psychopomp or carrier-off of the dead, but not necessarily with exactly the same attributes of the Norse Odin. There has been some doubt as to whether the early English had the concepts of Valkyries and Valhalla in the Norse sense, although there is a word for the former, waelcyrge, attested in glosses, in reference to female creatures of classical mythology, the Erinyes, a Gorgon, Bellona and once Venus.
