S1E2: Odin's Sacrifice and the Well of Mimir

In this episode, Shawn and David read the story of Mimir’s well and the price Odin had to pay to drink from it. Shawn brings in additional sources that detail Odin's sacrifice of his eye, and family tree background on Mimir. We discuss the idea of sacrifice.
