Re: Odin / Dona

There is so much there to unravel. "Don" occurs in river names in Britain of course as well as the European Don and Danube. Must be a very early IE name

Odin gets around and I have previously linked him to the late Neolithic, one-eyed Dagenham Idol - see my drawing at http://www.megalithic.co.uk/mo[...]x&do=showpic&pid=12127

Several Bronze/Iron Age wooden carvings of Odin also found in Denmark

I too reckon his roots lie in eastern shamanism. Consider too the basic attributes of the shaman - drumming, animism, shape shifting, totem animals, spirit walking, healing, magic.. If Odin is also Woden and Wotan - can he also be the meso-American Votan? Consider Votan's attributes too - drumming, healing, magic. Don't laugh, but could there be a common source? Odin/Woden/Wotan came westwards into northern Europe while Votan migrated from Siberia via the Bering Straights. Or is Votan/Wotan just a coincidence? Two entirely different and unconnected shamanic gods?
