Mimir was once a handsome Norse God known for his wisdom and knowledge. But he lost his head in the Aesir-Vanir War.
When Odin found Mimir's head, he kept the spirit and head alive for his knowledge.
Placing Mimir's head in the roots of the Sacred World Tree "Yggdrasil" allowed the knowledge and wisdom of the grate sage to be readily available to the gods when needed.
Till Ragnarok, Mimir will live at his well Mimisbrunnr and protect the knowledge and ancestral traditions of the Nine Worlds.
Mimir is a plastic piece I painted this week.
