The mentioned poetry cycle is called Odin's 9. You are exactly right, thank you for noticing. The 9 is truly magic and powerful. In Norse and Germanic mythology it also represents the fulfillment of a cycle, life and death. We need 9 moons (months) in the womb to transform and enter a new world. The 9th Rune of the 18 symbol Futhork is the Is Rune which represents magic and selfmastery. Odin says "I can turn floods into ice." There are many similiarities to the wisdom of the tarot as well, very interesting. It always makes me happy to see that I am not the only one! Thank you!
