After creating the world with his brothers, Odin became lonely traveling by himself so he created the first wolves: Geri and Freki. The ruler of Asgard and these furry canines quickly became inseparable. They traveled the world together and slowly populated the Earth with wolves, their offspring.
Geri and Freki sometimes had difficulty finding prey to feed themselves so Odin created two ravens, Hugin and Munin, to help them out. In return for the ravens’ assistance, the wolves shared their kills with their feathered friends as thanks. Together this quartet never went hungry.
Next up, Odin created the first humans and told them to learn from Geri and Freki because they could teach them many valuable lessons. Among others: how to cooperate, hunt, care for their families and defend themselves. It is said that Odin fathered children that were part human and part wolf that became known as the Wulfsungs.
In the end, Odin was killed by a wolf as payment for oaths that were broken. It was a honorable death that the God would have been proud of.

LIVING WITH BRONZE
If you're contemplating adding a bronze jewelry to your collection, please mind that bronze is by no means as consistent as gold or silver. Aging of bronze will occur quickly with contact with your skin, parfume, moist air etc. Patina on bronze is surface oxidization and it's creating an outer layer on the surface of bronze item rather than eating away like rust on metal.
There are three schools of treating bronze. The first one is to let it age naturally and gracefully and observe the process. The second: to force the patina (you can find a lot of tricks on the Internet) and the third one: to stop (to a certain extend) the bronze from aging. I would recommend silver cleaning cloth for the beginning and cleaning the jewelry very often, obligatory after wearing it.
