Even the Allfather isn't all knowing. So I do not get discouraged when people expect me to know everything that's about to happen in my own life, or theirs.
Odin's written works are of continuous journeys to discover wisdom. He visits with other gods. He visits with humans - the descendants of those he created and those his fellow gods created. He seeks wisdom from his enemies. He seeks wisdom from the elements. When perplexed about something he consults the runes.
Wanting to know is truly in our genetic structure as well. Odin, Vili and Ve made us from a tree to not merely be statues, but to be thinking, feeling, knowing creatures. We are no longer bound, but free to roam, no longer silent, but free to give our thoughts voice, no longer neutral but free to act as catalysts for good or bad. Curiosity didn't really kill the cat; it gave it nine lives. (I think this is a Wiccan inside joke, in reference to the nine realms.)
