Odinn's things

Odinn has a throne called Hlidskjalf. When he sits down on it he can see all over the world and everything that takes place in the world.

Odinn's horse, Sleipnir, is the best of all horses. Sleipnir has eight legs. Loki is the mother of Sleipnir and a giant's horse is its father. (Loki transformed himself into a mare on one occasion.) Once Sleipnir happened to touch Iceland with one of its feet and you can still see a mark of his hoof at Asbyrgi, in NE-Iceland.

Geri and Freki are Odinn's wolves and they live at Valhoell. They eat Odinn's food as he only drinks beer.

Huginn and Muninn are two ravens that fly around the world and report news of everything to Odinn.

Draupnir is a golden ring that multiplies itself into nine rings every ninth night. Draupnir was made by the dwarfs Brokkur and Sindri.
