  2. With that said, Norse paganism would have had a lot of variation within itself as well. Unfortunately, we can't know what all of the differences between Norse and non-Norse Germanic paganism were because the Norse (specifically Icelanders) were the only ones to record any extensive documentation of their mythology from pagan times. Much of the ...
  3. Norse paganism is a kind of Germanic paganism, in the same way the North Germanic languages are a subset of the Germanic languages as a whole. It all stems from the same root but there were/are differences. Tbf even with Norse paganism, what a Swedish farming community inland practiced in 700 AD would have been a bit different to what an ...
  4. The primary difference is the language used which results in a variation of the god's names. We have very little information on germanic paganism as the Romans were the only ones to document their interaction with the german tribes, and while they provide us some insight as they tended to just overlay their beliefs on the germanic tribes.
  5. From what I have been able to understand is that all Norse paganism is Germanic paganism, but not all Germanic paganism is Norse. Norse specifically refers the north-Germanic branche of the culture wheras regional variation was the norm. This is examplary in the names of the gods being different, like Odin/Wodan and Thor/Donar, and also ...
  6. r/heathenry is specific to Norse, Germanic, and Anglo-Saxon paganism and as such has resources more specific to that. A lot of the dieties are the same or very similar between them, but some groups practice very specific to a single culture, like Anglo-Saxon, while others (like myself) practice in a more broad overview of the cultures as a whole.
  7. Would like clarification on Celtic vs Norse vs Germanic paganism/cultures and distinctions between them . I've been trying to move towards working with my ancestors and understanding their beliefs/way of life lately, and with the information I have I believe my ancestors were likely from (or a combination of) cultures that were Celtic, Norse ...
  8. My question is are Norse Paganism and Germanic Paganism the same thing or are separate religions with similar gods, beliefs, and rituals? theres a reason why heathenry as an umbrella includes norse heathenry, anglo-saxon heathenry, continental heathenry and frankish heathenry. theyre all very similar anf are considered a family of religions ...
  9. Also, a note on terminology: the Norse are also Germanic. Danes are also continental and Germanic, but belong to the North Germanic family along with Norwegian, Swedish, and Icelandic. The Dutch, Frisian, and German speaking peoples are West Germanic and continental, while the Anglo-Saxons are West Germanic but insular.
  10. And even there, the intersection is by the barest of margins (essentially, the first half of the 7th century, in England itself). So Bede and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle can tell us of the pagan King Penda of Mercia, as a fairly recent event in the decline of paganism, if they can tell us (or choose to tell us) nothing of this paganism's nature.
  11. What is the difference between Norse paganism and Germanic paganism . ... Name pronunciation and spelling for the gods, and 9 times out of 10 searches for early germanic stuff redirects to viking/norse era texts. I think largely it's lost, being that it wasn't a written history. AKA orally passed down and lost to mostly the influence of ...
