The aesir and the vanir.
A long time ago there was a war between the aesir and the vanir, but later they made peace. The vanir sent Njord and his children Freyr and Freyja to live with the aesir in Asgard, who in turn sent Mimir and Odin's brother Haenir to live with the vanir in Vanaheim.
The vanir are associated with nature, fertility, love, the earth, weather and magic, especially seidhr. The aesir are associated with war, the sky, wisdom and rune magic.
