Odrorir
he spits out the mead. On the way he spills some drops of the
mead. These drops are the small poetic gift that ordinary people
and lesser poets might possess. Odin is the first Grail-knight and
the myth about Odrorir describes an initiation process.
Odrorir is a brew that induces visions, similar to the Indian
’’Soma”. Soma is like Odrorir both a god and a brew. Soma is
connected to the moon and magical inspiration. Both Odrorir and
Soma has been interpreted as brews containing hallucinogen
mushrooms, which could explain their use in the cult. We know
from other cults that certain mushrooms are believed to be the
flesh and blood of the gods. This could explain the outer aspect of
the myth of Odrorir, Soma and the Grail.
The chalice is the outer form of the Grail. In a medieval Ger
man minnessanger tale it is told that the Grail originally is an
emerald in the crown of Lucifer. At the fall of Lucifer, the emerald
fell into the underworld. Wolfram von Eschenbach who wrote about
Parzifal in the 13th century, writes about the Luciferian stone Lapis
Exillis which has divine powers and is the real Grail. Seekers of
the Grail and alchemists are in search of this stone - ’’The
Philosophers Stone”. In certain versions of the Grail myth this chalice
was bom from this stone. The chalice would give man a possibility
to contact the divine power of the eye. The stone from the crown
of Lucifer represents the divine eye or third eye which in India is
called the eye of Shiva. In the Nordic tradition this is the eye of
Odin which he sacrifices in the well of Mimer. The well of Mimer
represents memory and the unconscious. The well, and the eye
that Odin sacrifices, is represented by the Moon. The sacrifice in
the well of Mimer is related to the Grail myth and the initiation
process that the legend of Odrorir describes. The most important
aspect of the mysteries of Odin is to reach the ecstasy which awakens
the divine eye.
