Oh, to trouble the mess more (using 2012 books who still seems valid currently, with Freyja):
 * Odin had two eyes
 * He gave his uncle Mimir to the Vanir as hostage during a truce (why not...)
 * Mimir get beheaded, returned, turned in flames
 * Odin sacrificed his eye to Mimir to know where to seek the means to prevent Ragnarök, and is revealed that his living son Balder is the key)
 * He then goes, one-eyed, to propose to Freyr to marry his young adolescent child (with whom he supposedly already had Balder).

Yep, old stuff can't fit in the mythos anymore.
