Othin

There are very few records of human sacrifices to any god except Othin.

Since Othin is essentially a god of war it is natural to suppose that he is the deity meant, rather than the somewhat obscure Týr.

The earl interpreted this as a sign that Othin had accepted the sacrifice and that he would have a favourable time for battle.

But in addition to these there are notices of sanctuaries belonging to other deities—though not to Othin.
