Odin's Search for Wisdom · Norse Mythology Sleep Story · 3 Hours

Tonight, the Allfather goes looking for what he does not yet know. He comes to the well at the root of the world, where Mímir keeps the water of wisdom, and he pays for a single drink with an eye. Later he hangs nine nights on the windswept tree, wounded and alone, until the runes rise to him out of the dark. A quiet story about how much a god will give to understand the world.
