Odin is the god of wisdom, poetry, death, divination, and magic in Norse mythology. He is the all Father, and father of all, be they white, black, lesbian, gay, trans, bi, ace, or anyone from the LGBTQIA+ family. Just to be super clear. (we will have none of that phobic or racist nonsense here,)
 
Who is Odin? Odin is a Norse God, he is the All father, and father to all the other Gods. He is wise, forthright, kind and will brook no nonsense, so can be quite strict to. but earn his respect and create a good strong relationship and he is quite excellent to work with, but you do need to put in the work to create that relationship.
 
Here I have depicted him as a Wanderer, or perhaps a statue carved into wood at you come across as you wander through the woods. at his side is a staff with two eagle feathers attached, that speak of his ability to see things from above. on his chest are his two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, thought and memory. at his feet grow mushrooms (psilocybin) that were used in rituals and to access the spirit worlds. these speak of the mystery that is the God Odin. and behind him though the forest you can see a galaxy, you could say the home of some of the gods from the Norse Pantheon.
 
I created the originals as applique textile tapestries. The inspiration was to create something that was sacred, connected and rich with magical symbolism, and could be a doorway to the magic and spirit of what is depicted and that the witch or magical practitioner could invite into their working space or home 
 
These are not beginner cross stitch patterns, they are advanced, because of the size, and number of colours so they are quite complex.  At the same time if you have created a few cross stitches from patterns and are familiar with but do not class yourself as advance, and are determined enough you could totally create stitch this pattern. 
 
The idea behind these patterns was that people could create these as an act of devotion to whom ever is depicted.  In this case it is the Spirit of the city Corvidae
