He also has a wonderful piece he did called the “Cowboy Havamal” wherein he takes the first third of the “Havamal (Council of Odin The One-Eyes)” and wrote it as though it was all told by your classic Wild West movie type rancher.

The Huldra/Skogsrå has been described as having several different appearances, usually described as having a tail like that of a cow or a fox, and sometimes as having a hole in their backs, and always resembling a young beautiful woman.

It is really a Greek idea that gods be assigned domains like that. After Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire, most Indo-European religions were Hellenized, so there is a tendency to see this as the norm. The North was remote and relatively untouched. Gods were much more complicated here. For the Celts they were similar to Shinto, where they are described as a myriad. It is sort of like the gods are a forest rather than individual trees. Each tree has a niche, but they are still an interdependent unit.

Since everything is different because of Kratos, is Atreus actually TOO young to keep the blood oath with Odin and therefore Atreus can betray Odin later in the game!?!? Hmmm!
