This article is about the throne of the Norse god Odin. For the Burzum album, see Hliðskjálf (album).
In Norse mythology, the Hliðskjálf (literally meaning the high seat with an expansive view) allowed Odin to see into all realms as well as listen to them.[1]
Upon the throne, Odin achieves seiðr (enhanced perception) which grants him omniscience. In reference to the myth, many thrones are said to be designed in imitation of the Hliðskjálf. Over time, the Hliðskjálf became an important symbol representing Odin's strength and wisdom.[2]
