Folk Variations
Select guidelines, magical side-effects, divine tests, and spells of similar gods and spirits can be substituted for and with those of Woden to provide even more options.
Cernunnos (Celtic): he is also known as Lord of the Wild Hunt, lending a more naturalistic bent to Woden's ways. See Volume II for details.
Odin (Norse): very similar, Odin is described in Volume I, and the rules for both can be traded as desired, emphasizing various aspects- or even be combined to offer greater selection. Note that Woden is presented here as more wild and lacking some of the later associations that Odin has.
Raven Totem: can provide more cunning and mystery (link).
Wolf Totem: can bring in more viciousness and speed (link).
