I like that when you see the smaller version it looks like someone looking at you from the shadows and when it's enlarged you realize that the person is not paying any attention to you because their back is turned. I like this.
Yep, that's probably Odin–the two ravens flying around are Hugin and Munin–thought and memory–whom he sends out into the world to bring news back to him. The staff and the outfit are traditionally that of Odin when he's among humans and in disguise: a wanderer and a traveler, oftentimes homeless and testing the kindness and generosity of people.
Hmmm. If that wandering man is not Odin, I bet he knows how to cook up a good mess of beans over a campfire. Come to think of it, if he is Odin, I bet he still knows.

He reminds me of the hermit.
Hermit- definitely- my favorite Tarot card - and Sun instead of the lantern…
