| | Besides Odin, the major deities of Scandinavian 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 Scandinavian peasantry; Frey, a god of prosperity; and Freya, sister of Frey, a fertility goddess. | | | The Aesir family of Gods were the chief gods of Norse Mythology... | | | There the warriors would spend their days fighting and nights feasting until Ragnarok, the day of the final world battle, in which the old gods would perish and a new reign of peace and love would be instituted. |

| | If one or more of the grandparents were dead the old belief would practically decree it and filial love would perpetuate the practice after the belief no longer existed in its old form. | | | While certainly people were aware of the meanings of these words which continued being used in the everyday language, some name-elements are derived from archaic words which were present in the most ancient Germanic roots of Old Norse, but which were no longer commonly in use. | | | In Old Norse, we see names such as Skallagrimson ( son of Skallagrim), Hakonardottir ( daughter of Hakon). |

| Â | FAQ on Paganism from soc.religion.paganism (The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum) |
| | Some people regard paganism as a religion within itself; others see it as a belief system/mythos (such as monotheism) that can be incorporated into religions like Wicca or Druidism; others see it as a broad category including many religions. | | | PALEO-PAGANISM: the cultural/mythological progenitor of neopaganism; a pagan culture which has not been disrupted by being "civilized" by another culture - -Australian Bushmen modern (who are probably becoming meso-pagans), ancient Celtic religion (Druidism), the religions of the pre-"patriarchal" cultures of Old Europe, Norse religion, pre-Columbian Native American religions, etc. | | | Unlike most of the neopagan religions, Wicca is an initiatory religion, that is, people who choose to practice Wicca believe that the commitment to this path set changes in motion in their lives. |

| Â | Proteus Library: Nature Religion for Real |
| | And if an Englishman of the seventeenth century spoke of the "Old Religion," he meant the Catholic Church upheld by the Stuart dynasty. | | | At least we are spared the problem recounted to me by several Swedish students at my university, who said that for them to show too much interest at home in the old Norse religion of the Viking Age was to run the risk of being called a white supremacist by their peers. | | | Webster and others like him speak more in terms of spiritual lineage than of relationships to the land and "earth religion," but as Neopagan writers never get tired of explaining, "Pagan" as a derogatory term appears to derive from Roman army slang for "peasant," hence "civilian," a usage adopted by the Army of Christ. |

| | In its obscurity, the Norse religion has much in common with that of the neighbouring Celts. | | | The original home of the Indo-Europeans is still disputed, but we may well believe that, before their language split up into its divergent groups, they had certain religious concepts which developed differently among different peoples This may have some importance for the study of Norse religion. | | | This had led to the conclusion that it was composed about the beginning of the eleventh century, when men were turning from the old religion to the new. |
