Which gods and goddesses did the Vikings worship?

The Vikings worshipped many gods and goddesses. Viking, or Norse gods were not immortal, however they lived for a long time and had superhuman powers. The gods belonged to two groups, the Aesir and the Vanir. Aesir gods were connected to victory and war. Vanir gods were connected to harvest and prosperity. The gods lived in palaces made of gold and silver in a kingdom in the sky called Asgard. 


Odin 

Odin sought knowledge and gave humans the runic alphabet. He was accompanied by ravens and rode a flying eight-legged horse. He was the king of the Aesir clan and associated with wisdom, healing and death.  


Thor

Thor’s name is the basis for the word Thursday, ‘Thor’s day’. Thor was a hammer-wielding, humanity-protecting thunder-god. He was associated with lightning, thunder, storms and strength. 


Freyja

Freyja or Freya rode into battle on a chariot pulled by two cats to receive half of the dead. She owned a cloak made of falcon feathers and a necklace known as the Brísingamen. She was associated with love, beauty, fate and war and thought to use seiōr. Seiōr is Norse magic linked to telling and shaping the future. Freyja was a member of the Vanir clan. 


Frigg

Frigg’s name is the basis for the word Friday, ‘Frigg’s day’. She was the queen of the Aesir clan. She was associated with marriage, prophecy and motherhood. Scholars think Freyja and Frigg were either linked or the same person.
