One is when he hanged himself on the world tree for nine days and nights and was pierced by a spear. This was a spiritual death in which he sacrificed himself to himself. The second is that he sacrificed an eye for the privilege of drinking from Mimir, the fountain of wisdom. He had two black ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), who flew forth each day to gather the news of the world to bring back to Odin. His greatest treasures were Sleipner (an eight-legged horse), a Gunger (a spear) and Draupner (a ring).
