Actually, the idea of the "beserker warrior" takes the place of a god of ecstasy in Norse mythology. Many people seem to think that Loki was, but in fact, he is the trickster god in the Norse pantheon. There is a world of difference between the two, as a trickster god would be an active deity that torments the other gods (like Coyote), while an ecstasy deity would instead indulge in and encourage the taboo-breaking feral impulses within human nature for a pure enjoyment of physical existance (like several facets of Shiva) but they are different & seperate ideas (see the differences between Hermes and Dionysus).

What was dionysus Norse name?

Dionysus does not have a direct equivalent in Norse mythology, as he is a Greek god associated with wine, festivity, and ecstasy. However, some scholars suggest that the Norse god Njord, who is linked to fertility and abundance, could be seen as a rough counterpart. Another potential connection is to the god Freyr, associated with prosperity and pleasant weather, which may align with some aspects of Dionysian worship. Nonetheless, there is no specific Norse name for Dionysus.
