Hails Matthaiu!

Thank you for the helpful comments on my poem.

<<*Gwodans seems like a forced alliteration for *Wodans, cf. woþs, wods
"mad,
possessed">>


Yes, although Grimm says that some Germanic tribes did use "Guoden" and
"Goden," so perhaps it is okay to use it.  I can't help noticing with the
"G" the similarities to the name Gaut, as well as the Celtic Gwydion; both
are also identified with Woden.
