Tolkien drew heavily on Norse mythology, and numerous sources from Finnish, Greek, Persian, Slavic, and Celtic mythology for inspiration. In-turn inspired by both Tolkien and by the old Norse legends I wrote my new version of Odin and The Mead Of Poetry in the old Norse poetic form of Fornyrdislag.

The Mead of Poetry (Old Norse skáldskapar mjaðar), also known as Mead of Suttungr is a mythical beverage that whomsoever drinks 'becomes a skald or scholar' able to recite any information and solve any question. The drink is a vivid metaphor for poetic inspiration, often associated with Odin the God of 'possession' via berserker rage or poetic inspiration.

A Word On Odin in the context of Poetry;
Odin; The Old Norse noun Óðr may be the origin of the theonym Óðinn (Anglicized as Odin), and it means "mind", "soul" or "spirit" (so used in stanza 18.1 of the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá). In addition, Óðr can also mean "song", "poetry" and "inspiration", and as noted has connotations of 'possession'.

The Legend Of Two Wolves
The Legend of Two Wolves is an old Cherokee story with a powerful psychological and spiritual medicine to initiate the listener into life-wisdom.
The form of this 'medicine story' is a sacred "fire talk", a heart-to-heart talk around a sacred fire with the aim of transmitting heart-centered and earth-honoring wisdom for living as a whole person. More details at my blog The Dance Of Life (http://bit.ly/1gOeTu4)
