Gods
They worshipped different deities for different purposes: peace, war, the harvest: Frigg, the queen of the Gods, for childbirth; Freya for matters of the heart and love matches; Frey for rainfall; Thor for protection from thunder storms; and for wisdom and magical knowledge, Odin Allfather, the chief of the Gods.
