Your name of Odan has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You are constantly on guard for fear of being criticized or ridiculed. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. In matters of the heart, you must guard against jealousy and suspicion. Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel. You love books, especially mysteries and romance. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. A quiet walk in the outdoors, where you can listen to the sounds of nature, the wind in the trees, the lapping of water against a shoreline, the chirping of the birds, which become your companions, allow you to experience peace and freedom.
