Germanic paganism - Proto-Germanic religion
Germanic paganism seems to have begun developing sometime during the 2nd millennium BC, during the Nordic Bronze Age, with influences from neighboring cultures, notably the Celts, and possibly Finnish and Baltic mythologies.
The Proto-Germanic pantheon was divided into two classes, the *Ansuwaz (cognate to Asura) and the *Wanisaz (cognate to *Wenos, a name of *Hausos; see also Vanadis, Wynn, and possibly *Wanax). Members included *Tiwaz, *Wodinaz, *Nerþuz (either a god or a goddess), and *Frijja. Some natural phenomena were deified, e.g. *Þunraz (thunder) and *Sowilo (Sun).
Ancestor worship and deities were not clearly separated. Tribal leaders claimed descent from gods, e.g. Ing (son of Mannus, the first man), Aurvandil. See also Germanic king.
