Old Norse religion, also known as Norse paganism, is a branch of Germanic religion which developed during the Proto-Norse period, when the North Germanic peoples separated into a distinct branch of the Germanic peoples. It was replaced by Christianity and forgotten during the Christianisation of Scandinavia.
Sometimes referred to as “heathenry”, Norse paganism revolved around the worship of the old Gods relevant to Scandinavians before Christianity was introduced to the world. Followers of this religion had a complex and somewhat magical view of the world.
