7411 Woden ENT_ASX_WODEN member_of Anglo-Saxon Pantheon ENT_ASX_PANTHEON high Woden is the chief deity of the reconstructed Anglo-Saxon pantheon (Pollington). Stephen Pollington, The Elder Gods: The Otherworld of Early England (2011) SRC_POLLINGTON_ELDER_GODS reviewed  
7421 Woden ENT_ASX_WODEN identified_with Odin ENT_NOR_ODIN high [RETYPED v2.1.60 aligned_with->identified_with: Woden and Odin are the same Common Germanic god (*Wodanaz) under cognate names — an identification, not a typological parallel (Simek s.v. Odin/Wodan; previously sourced to Pollington).] Woden is the Old English reflex of the same Germanic deity as Norse Odin (Wodanaz). Rudolf Simek, Dictionary of Northern Mythology (trans. A. Hall, D. S. Brewer, 1993) SRC_SIMEK_NORTHERN needs_review  
8067 Woden ENT_ASX_WODEN equated_with Mercury ENT_ROM_MERCURY high Interpretatio germanica weekday calque: dies Mercurii -> OE wodnesdaeg (Wednesday) equates Woden with Mercury (pointer: Simek, Dictionary of Northern Mythology, s.v. Wodan and the days-of-the-week discussion; parallel to the existing Tacitus edge for Norse Odin). Secondary pointer — needs review. [v2.1.60] Rudolf Simek, Dictionary of Northern Mythology (trans. A.
