GLUSKAP
Kuloskap is none other than Odin [a principal Norse God] himself. He [Odin] is called galda fadhir (father of magic) in the Old Norse poem Balder's Dream in the Elder Edda.
Odin was the chief god in the Northern Mythology and Kuloskap was the most important legendary figure of the Algonquins. Kuloskap was the creator of man and so was Odin. [Both made man from an ash tree.] Kuloskap was a magician and so was Odin...
