Norse Gods
Norse or Scandinavian mythology is the most widely known form of Germanic paganism, a religion followed by the ancient Germanic peoples of Europe. The mythology's roots were based in Proto-Norse Iron Age Scandinavian prehistory. These beliefs also flourished during the Viking Age and following the Christianization of Scandinavia during the High Middle Ages. The mythology is based on a number of Norse gods and goddess. Most recognized is Thor, God of Thunder. For a more detailed listing of the Norse gods and goddesses visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Germanic_deities_and_heroes
