Wild Soul HOPE

A HOPE Method™ Reflection on Sacrifice, Vision & the Energetics of Soul Knowing

The One-Eyed God Who Chose Insight Over Sight

Odin — father of Norse gods, ruler of Asgard, master of runes, god of poetry, battle, and wisdom. But before he was any of these… He was a seeker. A soul so hungry for truth that he gave up an eye for vision And hung himself from the World Tree to receive the runes. Odin’s path wasn’t power for power’s sake. It was knowing. And that knowing required sacrifice.

 Who Is Odin?

• In Norse mythology, Odin is the Allfather — a god of war, knowledge, and poetry
• Sacrificed his eye at the Well of Mimir to gain divine wisdom
• Hung for nine days and nights on the World Tree (Yggdrasil) to receive the runes
• Known as a shapeshifter, wanderer, and initiator of souls
• Companion of wolves, ravens, and the winds — a guide to the edge of what’s known

Odin teaches that you will not find your truth by clinging to comfort. Instead you must be willing to walk the edge — you must give something up to get something greater.

 HOPE Lesson: What You’re Willing to Release Reveals What You’re Ready to Receive

We all have “eyes” — stories we cling to, identities that feel safe. But sometimes… the greatest healing comes from letting go of one perspective to gain a higher vision. This is the Odin frequency of HOPE: To surrender one thing, in order to become the thing, you were always meant to be. Even if you have end up giving up a piece of yourself.

There was a time when I believed wisdom came wrapped in degrees and diplomas — that if I just pushed hard enough, worked long enough, earned the title, then everything I sacrificed would finally make sense.

I was an empty nester, years into a life that had revolved around caregiving, compromise, and holding broken things together for everyone else. When my children grew older and the house fell quiet, I returned to the dream I had abandoned: finishing my degree.

It wasn’t easy. I sobbed — heavily — after passing macro and microeconomics, subjects I was convinced would nearly break me. The tears weren’t just academic, they were sacred. My inner child was helping me release every time I was told I wasn’t good enough.

They were for all the times I had set my own needs aside. For the woman I used to be, and the one I was becoming. I earned my BA in Business. I thought it would change everything. But when I walked across that stage… no one really seemed to notice.

I celebrated anyway. Because by then, I understood something that Odin knew well: Wisdom is never handed to us. It’s earned — through sacrifice, surrender, and the will to keep going when no one’s clapping.

Odin gave his eye. I gave years of my life. My youth. My body. My sense of identity. But what I got in return was something deeper than validation. I got me. And that is the most sacred kind of wisdom there is.

 Soul Practice: The Rune of Release

1. Sit in silence. Place your hand over your third eye.
2. Speak aloud:
   “I surrender what no longer serves my knowing.”
   “I call in the wisdom that lives beyond comfort.”
3. Journal what you are ready to give up — not as punishment, but as initiation.

Let it be an offering. Let it open the gate.

 Final Reflection: The Runes Are Still Speaking

Odin’s magic isn’t just myth. It lives in every soul who’s asked for truth and meant it. It lives in the choice to sacrifice illusion for revelation. In the HOPE Method™, this is transmutation: To take pain… and carve from it the runes of purpose.
