This can be really followed for any deity but it is an interesting discussion to do especially with deity names. I am curious with people’s response, has anyone tried to communicate to dieties with older languages in general than Nordic or the equivalent Languages for that region. I am also interested in the results of runic work during the proto nordic and how the runic work differs from a spiritual perspective, plus how older languages translates to runes in general. I know it’s a lot of perspective, questions and thought but it’s an interesting topic of what gods where worshipped in what way Freyr where worshipped like as a sword god throughout the bronze/iron age . Thor was seen as the axe god during the period, I will provide artwork I have gathered from and I will correctly source my material in Harvard style. It is said that Freya during that period was more connected to the sun then in previous period as there was a fertility cult based around it during that period. Cult is not used a derogatory way as fertility cults have originated back to Indo-European days.
Disclaimed: This is not an attack on the god or any other group, this discussion is for educational and interest based.
Thor portrayed in the image as the axe god.
