Wild Warriors of the Sky: The Norse and Germanic Pantheon
The Norse
gods are the gods that always seem to be used in novels and science fiction.
Why? Because there is something so adventurous and romantic about the Gods
of Asgard and Valhalla and the Vikings who worshipped them. I haven't
named all of the Gods and Goddesses because it's so hard finding out what
they all do and what name they all go by. If I have left someone
out, please let me know.
