Lore
Mimir is the wisest being in Norse mythology, guardian of the well of wisdom beneath Yggdrasil. Odin sacrificed an eye to drink from Mimir's well, gaining cosmic knowledge. After Mimir was beheaded in the Aesir-Vanir war, Odin preserved his head with herbs and magic, allowing it to continue giving counsel. Mimir's severed head becomes an oracle, advising Odin on fate and strategy. He symbolizes ultimate wisdom, sacrifice for knowledge, and the enduring power of insight even after death in Norse cosmology.
