Antiquarian grimoire painting of the living Anglo-Saxon deity Woden

Woden is an Anglo-Saxon deity preserved in royal genealogies and Old English charm poetry; the Nine Herbs Charm credits him with taking nine boughs against a serpent, without establishing Norse Odin's one-eyed, spear-bearing, or raven iconography for this record.
