Vegtamr

"Wanderer", "Way-tame." In the eddic poem Baldrs draumar, the name Odin assumes when he travels to Niflheimr to raise a völva, or wise-woman, from the grave to answer questions about Baldr's fate. He identifies himself to her as Vegtamr, son of Valtam. Near the end of the poem she recognizes him for who he is.
