Odin actually showed up in my mind palace/astral temple's "meeting room" once.
My fiance had told me about a dream he had as a child, wherein a man he remembered as "Orin" fought hordes of monsters as they attacked a village, and at the end of the dream handed my fiance his sword and told him to keep fighting. He wanted to know more about this dream, and said he had the feeling that Orin might be an actual entity who had visited the dream, so I offered to try to get in touch with him and see what he had to say. And when I sent out a call and went to my meeting room, Orin did indeed show up!
Orin was a red-haired, strong-jawed armored hero type, quite friendly, full of advice. I thanked him for coming and offering him tea (the usual chai-ish sort of blend I serve in my astral lounge), and we talked about the dream and what he had meant by some of the things he said to my fiance; he clarified some things, and it had been years since the dream, so he gave me a sort of update to it.
Well, when we were done talking and I was saying goodbye, I tried to say "goodbye, Orin" and somehow suffered a weird slip of the tongue (which is kinda weird when you're not speaking with an actual physical tongue...) and said, "goodbye, Odin." "Orin" grinned, his face changing as he did, and laughed, "You got me!" And just before he vanished, instead of Orin, he was an older man, his face weathered and wise, with a twinkle in his eye, long grey hair and a grey beard, and a large, faded blue broad-brimmed hat. He left me with an image of himself dancing merrily and laughing at the whole situation.
When I told my fiance what had transpired, he facepalmed a mighty facepalm and groaned that Odin would do something like that. He imparts knowledge and guidance, but in a manner something like a grandpa who pulls coins from behind your ear and then gives them to you, smiling at your wonderment. He'll tell you something, and then years later you'll finally understand what he actually meant, and you'll notice symbols and relationships in his message that are deeply filled with meaning, symbols that you hadn't paid any mind to when you first received the message.
It's interesting that in some of your comments here you mention the idea of "blood memories" and feeling called towards Odin, as that's how my fiance feels as well-- he's very much a berserker by nature, capable of going into strange, inspired sorts of rages. (Although he usually uses that energy for writing papers instead of gnawing on shields and cleaving his enemies in twain and all that.) Odin is the patron of berserkers, and my fiance figures that Odin is his patron whether he likes it or not! His entire life, he's been both blessed and troubled by Odin's gifts, the rage and the strange cryptic insight-- he even suffered a series of "coincidental" injuries to his left eye that left it blind. He's also naturally talented at reading the runes of the Elder Futhark.
When I asked my fiance if he had anything to say that was relevant to your post, he said, "Odin is a troll. Odin is a troll and is good at what he does. :P" I would say that you should take care to remember any sorts of cryptic messages you may receive, as you may find yourself learning their true meaning years down the road. Be easy-going and ready to learn, as Odin will teach you, but he'll mess with your head in the process! You might also find it useful to meditate on the runes, their meanings and associations and powers and such."
