--- Quote ---And Odin has apparently (in some sense) given up his "godhood." He's very powerful, very strong-willed, and... he has shown Harry that it's possible.

I don't think Odin gave anything up, he is no longer worshiped like he once was, not unlike Hades.. So if less worship means less power, then you are right, but I doubt that Odin would give up anything willingly. I think for Odin, the so called mantles that he wears are merely aspects of who he is.. The hint of this comes at the end of Cold Days, when he told Harry he had put on a mask for a time when he was Kringle. Wearing a mask makes you appear different, but under it you are still who you always were.
Conspiracy Theorist:
There is a WOJ that Odin gave up his immortality to “Stay in the game” I presume to continue to dwell in the mortal world rather than live in exile like Hades. He took up the Kringle Mantle to extend his life, and accepted Soulfire from the White God which allows him to create Einenjharen. Odin cheats.
I have a theory that the Queens power level is as high as you can get without incurring the negative attention of the White God, you either live under restriction like Odin and Ferro or stay in the NeverNever like Hades and the Mothers. That was deliberate, Mothers were created powerful enough to have full intellectus, Queens as much power as can avoid breaking reality, and Ladies enough to gain full immortality. I think that the power threshold is to avoid major damage to reality, such as with Ethnui. Even so the Queens mere presence distorts weather patterns. Note ethnui was taken down by Harry an agent of the White God, using a weapon supplied to him by the White God.

Could you get the quote? Because if the All Father gave this up as you suggest then there is no point to Valhalla or the Einenjharen. I also doubt that the Kringle Mantle extends a life that went on for a thousand years or more before Kringle was even a concept.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Soulfire is used to create Einenjharen, another WOJ. Valhalla exists in the NeverNever.
I thonk it is more of the different frequency both Bob and Odin have complained about in relation to the White Gods energy. Odin gave up power in relation to his frequency, but gained power of a different frequency with the Kringle Mantle and Soul Power. Odin is weaker BUT he can do things across a much wider spectrum, he traded power for flexibility.

Note Harry's identity as "agent of TWG" (aka Uriel's Knight) is AFAIK only a fantheory, unsupported by DV canon or any WoJ.
Like many other posters here, I think it's a very-likely fantheory.
In particular: events of Skin Game show us the plan to give Harry the "superweapons" seems to have been a scheme by Hades/Odin/Mab, and we only presume that Uriel is part of that alliance and that scheme.
Or have I missed a WoJ, or misremembered a bit of DV canon?
