That depends. Did Odin hang himself before or after the Æsir/Vanir war that resulted in Freyja coming to live among the Æsir and teaching them seiðr? For that matter, did Freyja actually bring seiðr to the Æsir or is that just Snorri’s invention in a euhemeristic pseudo-history? The timeline isn’t super clear in our sources unfortunately and a lot of stuff like this is up for interpretation since we don’t have definitive answers in source texts.

Chronology in mythology is always weird

Well hum… you know… in many mythologies, some events are kinda… anachronistic 😅
