Mímir

Odin's wisdom has two sources and this is one of them; the other is the eye he left in the well that bears the same name. A registry that holds Odin the all-knowing without Mímir is holding the effect and not the cause. The detail the sources will not let go of is that the head keeps talking: it is not a memory or a symbol, it is a preserved head on a shelf that answers questions.
