The Norse pantheon is a fascinating collection of gods and goddesses who shaped Viking beliefs and traditions. Odin, the all-father, was the ruler of Asgard and the god of wisdom and war. Thor, known for his hammer Mjölnir, was the protector of mankind and the god of thunder.
Loki, the trickster god, brought chaos and mischief to the gods, while Freya, the goddess of love and beauty, represented fertility and magic. These figures not only ruled over the gods and mortals but also influenced the Vikings’ view of the world, fate, and the afterlife.
