Symbolic Meaning of Triple Horn of Odin

The Norse and Vikings had a long oral history, but this gave rise to many interpretations. The exact symbolism of the Triple Horn of Odin remains under debate. Here are some interpretations about the symbol:

A Symbol of Wisdom Many associate the Triple Horn of Odin with the Mead of Poetry and what is obtained from it: wisdom and poetic inspiration. In the myth, whoever drinks the magic mead would be able to compose brilliant verse since poetry was associated with wisdom. Some also associate the symbol with the sacrifice needed to acquire wisdom, just as how Odin gave his time and energy for the sake of finding knowledge and understanding.
