Eikthyrnir, is the stag which stands upon Valhalla with the goat Heidrun. Eikthyrnir nibbled the leaves from the branches of Yggdrasil and water dripped from its horns filling the well Hvergelmir from which all rivers in the 9 worlds were sourced.

Odin watched the Norns from his seat in Asgard and envied their powers and wisdom and bent his will toward the task of coming to know the runes. To gain the secret knowledge of the runes Odin sacrificed himself to himself. He hung himself from a branch of Yggdrasil, pierced himself with his spear, and stared down into the shadowy waters of the Well of Urd below calling to the runes for nine days and nine nights. At the end of the ninth night the Runes accepted Odin's sacrifice and showed themselves to him, revealing to him all their secrets and powers they possessed.
