Brooding about god (4)

I believe the answer is:

odin

'god' is the definition.
(Norse god)

'brooding about' is the wordplay.
'about' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'ODIN' is hidden in the letters of 'brooding'.

(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "mythological personage" , "Mythological Norse god of war" , "God - I nod (anag)" , "Pagan god" , "Supreme god of Scandanavian myth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
