There is some speculation that Óthinn's pair of ravens (Huginn & Munnin), his "eyes" - derive from earlier shamanic practice of something like trance-state animal possession.

There is a myth from the Vedic system about Trishanku who hung upsidedown in space and went into a deep meditative state that burned away his karma at a furious pace. It's said that his work earned him a crown as the King of Heaven in the next cycle of creation. Odin earned a crown too and Freya helped him achieve it.
