Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
Ya know what? There's not enough Freya love and I was between three to start with; I'll amend mine to just Freya.
Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
I'm sure quite a few people here would like to love Freya. But the OP was asking about worship.

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
If I worship Hel, that means I don't have to die in battle, right?
Ok, Hel.

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
Odin makes the most sense. Not only is he the all-father, and also the leader of the traditional Norse pantheon. He also seems to be the only god of the pantheon that isn't a quibbling child.
You could make a cartoon in crayons about a red square that falls in unrequited love with a blue circle, and there wouldn’t be a dry eye in the house if you know how to tell a story.

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
You are a lawn ornament? I'm pretty sure the rule was only for them.
Sure, as a beardmumbler who worships the goddess of death and disease it makes no difference how you die. But that is a odd reason to do so. Its like saying „If I jump into the toxic waste I don't have to walk the rope over it.” Even more so since the alternative to the toxic waste is a fancy dinner. Fancy dinners for the rest of your existence in fact."If it lives it can be killed.
If it is dead it can be eaten."

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
It gets kind of funny in such a context. does not being theistic mean you don't believe gods exist or that you don't worship any? Honestly, I don't know, but since TV-tropes has a page on flat earth atheists you might be right here.
Anyway, the question was "if you had to..." meaning no not choosing. ALL SHALL WORSHIP AND DESPAIR!

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
Freyr. Acquire dat currency.
P.S. Curiously, just like the only other person who voted for him, I am also a freelance translator. I guess Freyr is also the god of freelance translators!Last edited by Agnostik; 2015-09-02 at 07:57 PM.

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
Odin for me. He likes dogs and puppets, so he must have a bit of a sense of humor, and his response was the closest to being thoughtful and mysterious.
(Which is kind of surprising considering what a goofball he's been until now, but whatever. I'll still go for the one-eyed wanderer with his two ravens and his eight-legged steed.)Spoiler
So the song runs on, with shift and change,
Through the years that have no name,
And the late notes soar to a higher range,
But the theme is still the same.
Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
Blend in with the old, old rhyme
That was traced in the score of the strata marks
While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
Probably Frigg. I'm communing with the gods for guidance, not flattering them for favors or inviting them to parties... unless flattery and partying turn out to be the wisest courses of action, naturally.

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
Odin or Hoder if I had to, I suppose, because both seem to have a bit of perspective--the ability to look beyond their whims or the narrow concerns of their portfolios, and appreciate a larger design. (I know I'm being generous, since all Odin did was say something cryptic and all Hoder did was talk about "seasons.")
Loki has a certain appeal because he's funny, but the alignment thing would be problematic for me.
Really, I'd hate to worship any of them--I'd much rather handle things like Roy.

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
Yet.
Oh, there are other advantages. It's good in the breeder's business: Rabbits, horses, cows... She promises a bountyful harvest, too, I guess. The less farmers have to rely on good soil, the more they need Freya.
People desperate for kids are probably but a niche in Freya's portfolio.participate in fan translations of OotS to your native language:

Re: If you had to worship one god of the Northern pantheon....
Put me down with Freya.
We do not have a lot to go on, so any answer must, in part, be influence on real life myths as well. Also she seems nice and not world destroying, with a reason thats good (will not end so many lives).
