AEPANDI NAM - The words uttered by Woden as he 'fell' to recover the Holy Runes after his ordeal of being sacrificed 'Myself to Myself' on the World Tree, pierced by a Spear, with neither food nor mead to sustain him. The term AEpa refers to the Waters of the Underworld, as in the term Abzu (Sumer) and Apsu (Akkad-Babylon); the IE Root *ap- means 'water'. The Sanskrit apah means 'waters'. AEPA - 'to cry out', AEP - 'a Shout of Need', AP (Old Norse) - 'a Cry of Need', ANDA/ANDI - 'breath', or 'secret'. To back this up we have the New Testament idea of the 'Bottomless Pit' which is named Abaddon (Hebrew) or Apollyon (Greek). The 'Lower World' is called NID (NITH), and nithi means 'subterranean world'. Basically, Woden recovers the Ancient Runes from the 'Blood Memory' in the Nether-World of Mimir ('Memory'). This is where Woden's Eye is found, when he sacrificed an Eye for a draft from the Well of Mimir.
