Mmir

Mímir (Old Norse: Mímir, pronounced "MEE-meer") is a figure in Norse mythology known for his wisdom and association with the well of wisdom, Mímisbrunnr. He is often depicted as a head that possesses immense knowledge, having been decapitated during the Æsir-Vanir War and preserved through enchantments. Mímir's name is thought to derive from the Proto-Germanic word *mimiz, meaning "the exciter" or "the memory," and is associated with the concept of memory and wisdom. In Hebrew, Mímir can be translated as מימיר (pronounced "mee-meer"). In Old English, he is referred to as Mima, and in Old High German, he is known as Mîmir. Mímir's well is said to be located beneath one of the roots of the world tree, Yggdrasil, and is guarded by the wise being himself. Odin, the chief of the Æsir, is said to have sacrificed one of his eyes to drink from Mímir's well, gaining immense wisdom in the process. Mímir's role in Norse mythology underscores the importance of wisdom and knowledge in the cultural and religious traditions of the ancient Norse people.
