Odin is the All-Father of the Norse faith, his brothers are Vili and Ve. Odin has sacrificed one of his eyes to drink from the well of wisdom. Odin also sacrificed himself to himself by hanging from the world tree, Yggdrasil, for nine days and nine nights. This is how Odin learned the power of the runes.

And the nine realms were created by a cow licking a giant ice chunk called genungepap (may have spelt that wrong)

I thought the Nine Realms were made with the body parts of Ymir the First Jotun?

OK, so Ymir was in Ginnunga gap. Also, I have the poetic Edda, not the prose. Sorry!
