Story behind the song
Odin's Tenth Charm is given in the Hávamál, specifically, in the list of 18 charms he learned while hanging from the World Tree (the Song of Spells). This song makes extensive use of samples from the Freesound Project: Finally, as has been my tradition this FAWM, I wrote a bit about the chordal composition of this song. The intro uses a lot of "Thelonious Monk" piano voicings. If you'd like to learn more, here's the ;link to my music blog: Odin's Tenth Charm (Chordal Structure)
