Viking religious beliefs are still somewhat of a mystery. The pantheon of Norse gods that we know today come from a variety of different stories and people could choose to worship them in many different ways.
Viking beliefs are often called “paganism”, but this was the name given to their religion by the later Christians. They believed that everything had a soul, even inanimate objects. They believed in magic and had some elements of shamanism in their religion. Just like the Vikings themselves, their religion was complicated and unique. Welcome to Medieval Madness!
