What gods do the vikings worship?

Answer 1

The Norse didnt really practice it like religions or pagans do now. They worshipped through combat and seeking the glorious death. The creation myths and stories were passes down verbally throughout their history before the written word. Odinism may be one of the worlds oldest beliefs but the worship of ancestors predates even that. And by worship I really only mean that they asked them to watch over them and asked for guidance. That's basically all there is too it. Snorri's prose Edda is a generally accurate description of the the stories. There really weren't any rituals and other things of that nature. But modernization of the religion did spur a type of prayer. More of a battle chant to be sure.

Lo, There do I see my Father

Lo, There do I see my Mother and

My Brothers and my Sisters

Lo, There do I see the line of my people back to the beginning

Lo, They do call to me

They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla

Where thine enemies have been vanquished

Where the brave shall live Forever

Nor shall we mourn but rejoice for those that have died the glorious death.

Don't go into it looking for the real thing and get into the modern movement. It's really a thick christianization of the glorious history.

Edit: I know what I'm talking about, I'm post grad history student focusing in religion and warfare.
