II’m not Norse pagan but I do work a lot with divination. don’t think this is mixed signals at all. King of Wands could easily represent Odin as well as just your journey in the past. The fool is a new beginning and a start of a journey, most likely meaning a start as an Odin devotee. Death is not a bad card, it just means that something may come to an end by working with him. Maybe it’s parting ways with another deity or maybe a bad habit(most likely a bad habit/life style is what I’m feeling)
The sun means you’ll have growth and development from this! So in the end it seems Odin is open and willing to have you as a devotee and good things will come from it. Of course I’m just a random stranger, but in the end you don’t need permission to worship. The gods appreciate effort and devotion regardless of if they called to you or not. However I don’t think you’d be negatively affected by starting a journey with Odin and I think he’s definitely inviting you to do so.
