Mimir - Norse God of Wisdom
Mimir gained wisdom and knowledge by drinking from the Well of Wisdom. When the Vanir and Aesir gods are at war, the Vanir tribe calls on him for counsel. But, unable to translate his words, they behead him. Odin, the Aesir chief, embalms the head with herbs, casting a spell that allows it to speak. Thus, Mimir guides Odin through the war until the two tribes unify as one.
