The ancient Scandinavians worshiped two types of gods:
The Aesir, which were mostly gods of war
The Vanir, which were mostly fertility.

For those of you who enjoy ancient history and mythology or who simply like to read the comic Thor, here are a list of the Aesir.

Note.

All of this has reminds me of GOD's First Commandment:

"You shall have no other gods before Me."
Ex 20:3

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.
I Chronicles 16:26

"I am the LORD, and there is no other. There is no God besides Me."
Isaiah 45:5

"Look to ME and be saved, all you ends of the Earth!
For I am GOD and there is no other."
Isaiah 45:22

"I, even I, am the LORD, and beside Me there is no Savior."
Hosea 13:4

"You shall worship the LORD your GOD and HIM only you shall serve."
Matthew 4:10

I pray that we all remember that. And that we not get
so caught up in the study and art of false gods that we ignore the real One!
