	Norse Mythology
		Because Norse mythology was transmitted and altered by medieval Christian historians, the original pagan religious beliefs, attitudes, and practices cannot be determined with certainty.
		Besides Odin, the major deities of Norse mythology were his wife, Frigg, goddess of the home; Thor, god of thunder, who protected humans and the other gods from the giants and who was especially popular among the Norse peasantry; Frey, a god of prosperity; and Freya, sister of Frey, a fertility goddess.
		The gods were originally conceived as a confederation of two formerly warring divine tribes, the Aesir and the Vanir.

		Norse Religion, or Heathenry, is the modern-day practice of the ancient tribal belief systems of the Northern European peoples; the Teutons (continental Germanic tribes) and the Norse (Scandinavian and Gothic tribes).
		Thus you have Odin among the Norse, and Wotan or Wodan among the Teutons; Thor or Thonar among the Norse, and Donar or Donner among the Teutons.
		The main religious tradition is known as Asatru, meaning "loyalty or troth to the Gods." The main focus of Asatru has been to recapture and reconstruct the ancient tribal religion of the Norse through the recordings of the lore and the sagas.

	Rambles: Ingri & Edgar Parin d'Aulaire, Norse Gods & Giants
		Unlike the majority of such books, Norse Gods takes the time to sketch, if only in passing, the people who gave life to the tales and the importance of their religion in their time.
		No apologies are offered for the gods; when they misbehave or break oaths, the issue is left alone, with consequences to be revealed through another story.
		Norse Gods & Giants is by necessity a simplified book; diehard Asatru and academics looking for obscure lore from the Norse religions will probably not find what they seek here.

	Norse Gods and Asatru
		Asatru means "true to the gods," and is an Icelandic word for the religion of the old Germanic people, the ancestors of today's English, Dutch, Germans, Swedes, Norwegians, Danes and Icelanders.
		I read about the Norse gods as a child, and felt a strong kinship with them, with their mostly rural world, their sense of honor, their warlike nature.
		Logically the gods shouldn't need temples and altars, but their settlement is obviously described in terms of the human model.

	Welcome to Norse Wicca!!
		The Scandinavian Gods of old are full of traditions, culture, stories, myths and legends that guide our individual paths to enlightenment, and help us live ethical and morally good lives.
		Norse Wicca is not a reconstruction religion - we are not trying to worship the Gods and Goddesses just as they did a long time ago.
		While some hold faith that this is the only way to do them justice - it is very difficult to relate to their form of worship since our lives of today are so vastly different from their lives of yesterday.

		But at the centre of their cosmos stands a gnarled old Ash tree, from which all distances are measured and under which Valhalla lies.
		In the first poem of The Poetic Edda, where the stories of the Norse Gods are laid down in verse, the Seeress describes it in her prophesy:
		It is from this tree that the father of the Gods, Odin, will ultimately hang himself: an image of divine sacrifice so problematic for thirteenth century Christians that they left it out when they wrote the myths down.
