Germanic paganism - Viking Age
Main articles: Norse paganism and Norse mythology
Early medieval Scandinavian (Viking Age) paganism is much better documented than its predecessors, notably via the records of Norse mythology, recorded in the Edda, and the Sagas, written in Iceland during 1150 - 1400.
Sacrifices were known as Blót, seasonal celebrations where gifts were offered to appropriate gods, and attempts were made to predict the coming season. Similar events were sometimes arranged in times of crisis, for much the same reasons.
The goddess Frijja seems to have split into the two different, clearly related goddesses Frigg and Freya. In Norse mythology there are certain vestiges of an early stage where they were one and the same, e.g. husbands Odr/Odin, their shamanistic skills and Freya/Frigga's infidelity.
