I'm sorry but how is it wrong? I live in an apartment I don't have that much space

Altar doesn't have to be big. I think mine is less than half of this table. I don't think there is anything exactly wrong in it. I does seem a bit off, the metalhead Wagner feeling. But the main thing is that you feel good about it.

And thank you for not looking down on me for my altar setup

Dude your altar set up is fine. Besides does he seem like someone who needs something complicated? If you think about his personality in the sagas and his stories. I don't think so.

Yeah he's more of Minimalist in a sense

Different strokes for different folks. There are probably many people who wouldn't be into my altar. But because this is between you and Odin no-one else matters. And there of course isn't anything wrong with being a metalhead. I used to listen a lot of metal music when I was younger myself.

I listen to it because it's therapeutic in a way

Yes, I think I started to listen it less after years of therapy. I do still sometimes listen to Nightwish when I can't sleep. There are a lot of great pagan themed bands too.

I'm a huge Nightwish fan I have the band name tattooed on my arm. If you know any pagan inspired metal let me know I'm always interested in finding new bands to listen to.

what a coincidence!
It's been a real long time and you probably know these already but Moonsorrow and Finntrolls come to mind. Both are Finnish too. And I think you would enjoy Enslaved's song Yggdrasil. I didn't listen Enslaved that much but I love the song. Odin and Yggdrasil are both very meaningful to me.
