Through my studies of both history and linguistics I have come to find out the Odin/Woden/Wotan Wodanaz or however you wish to pronounce his name was not originally the chief god of the germanic pantheon especially before the viking age during the Roman Iron Age we know some tribes in Germani worhsipped him as the supreme god however otjhers may have worshipped Tyr/Tiw or Tiwaz in proto-germanic. reasoning is that all Indo european gods have the same origin linguistially Dyeus Pitar (proto- indo european) literally translates to Sky father which in turn spawned: Iuppiter (Jupiter), Zeu Pater (Zeus), Tiwaz (Tyr) etc
Im curious how do heathens germanic/norse pagans view this or if they even know about it at all ? I for one actually feel tyr or tiwaz is more appealing to worship also it was believed he had a wife named Zisa or Cisa and she could have been the mysterious goddess referred to by tacitus in Germania as the "Isis of the Suebi" (a Germanic tribe bordering the Roman Empire).
Your opinions as heathens ?
