Is it possible for Odin to be reincarnated?

Hello Mr.Lindow,

I would like to share some thoughts that may come across strange or beyond the imagination. Bare with me as I explain.

Yesterday, I had an epiphany about Odin the Norse God. There are similarities between my life and Odin.

For instance, my last name is Oden. Although it is spelled differently, we must leave room for mankinds errors.

I am the first born of three son's.

My first name is Daris which in Arabic means "most high".

It is my understanding that there are days of the week that are named after me. I was born on a Thursday, but my mother went into labor on Wednesday which is Odin's day.

Thursday is Thor's day which is considered my son's day, although I have no earthly son's as of yet.

I married whom I believe to be my soulmate, Frigga. She was also born on Friday, Frigga's day.

My birthdate is June 7 1979 which means I am a Gemini. Gemini is the sign for twins Castor and Pollux. Recently I discovered strange similarities between our personalities.

In Norse mythology, my wife Frigga had a hand in assigning the astrological signs.

I have Googled myself many times and as of now I believe I am the only person on this planet that has my name.

I also acquired a scar over my right eye in search of growth and development otherwise known as knowledge.

I have a daughter in which I named her after the goddess Athena, otherwise known as inspiration. She was born two weeks from my day.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could help shed light in any form on this subject. Could this be an annoying coincidence or is this something to truly ponder, as it is in my nature to do so? Thorsfatherodin (talk) 18:00, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
