Bragi is the skaldic god of poetry in Norse mythology.

One is called Bragi: he is renowned for wisdom, and most of all for fluency of speech and skill with words. He knows most of skaldship, and after him skaldship is called bragr, and from his name that one is calledbragr-man or -woman, who possesses eloquence surpassing others, of women or of men. His wife is Iðunn.

How should one periphrase Bragi? By calling him husband of Iðunn, first maker of poetry, and the long-bearded god, and son of Odin.

I wish I could find more on Bragi… I like him a lot… I feel he’d be good for me… Does anyone that follows me worship Bragi intensively…?

Bragi is one of the deities that call to me the most prominently. 

As someone who is called to the musical arts, who is a composer, performer, and ethnomusicologist, Bragi makes sense to me. Veneration/worship of Bragi, for me personally, often goes hand to hand with my own experience with Odin, very much for similar reasons. Not to say I don’t venerate/worship them separately; I very much do, and for differing reasons. They have purposes, and are useful for said purposes, and then some. 

But enough about me. What would you like to know?
