What are the Norse traditions?

Norse traditions encompass a wide range of cultural practices, beliefs, and customs from the Viking Age and earlier, primarily in Scandinavia. Central to these traditions are the Norse pantheon of gods, such as Odin, Thor, and Freyja, along with mythological tales found in texts like the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda. Rituals, including sacrifices and feasts, were common, often tied to seasonal changes and agricultural cycles. Additionally, traditions in art, craftsmanship, and storytelling reflect a rich heritage that has influenced modern cultures.
