   As I have commented before years ago on some of these groups,   
   I believe that Odin’s missing or closed eye is new/dark moon,   
   whereas the open eye is the sun.   
      
   Odin is also raven-associated, and I also associate raven with   
   the new/dark moon, coming up in a little more than 13 hours.   
      
   Some may be interested in my thread“Raven’s Blessings”   
   on alt.native , where I draw a parallel between Haida and   
   Beothuk mythology.   
      
   Other figures that I think are raven-associated are   
   the Morrigan, maybe Lugh, and maybe Jacob.   
   Do you know of any others?   
      
   I have also previously commented on   
   “The landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight”   
   from the song Wild Rover, and speculated that   
   it refers to the waxing of the moon from new/dark   
   moon to full moon. Are there any stories of   
   Odin’s closed eye opening up?
