		Norse paganism or Nordic religion is a term used to describe the spectrum of religious ideas which were common amongst the Germanic tribes living in Nordic countries prior to the advent of Christian missionary activity in Northern Europe.
		Norse paganism is therefore a subset of Germanic paganism, which was practiced in the lands inhabited by the Germanic tribes across most of Northern and Central Europe until the end of the Viking Age.
