Thus, "Germanic" would include the Germans, Frisians, Anglo-Saxons, Norse, Franks, Vandals, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Danes, Lombards, and so forth... So I think that simply renaming the template to "Germanic Heathenry would be the solution. 71: 53: 894: 437:" is an umbrella term, used to cover all non-Celtic/Gaelic, non-Slavic, non-Greco/Roman peoples of ancient Europe. These people include the Anglo-Saxons/English, the Norse (Scandinavians), the continental Germans (Saxons, Alemanni, Ostrogoths, Visigoths), the Vandals of northern Africa, the Dutch, Frisians, and so forth. 569:
I have now made this change, based on the texts and the considerable body of scholarship about the Æsir-Vanir war and the distinction between them. This distinction has also been called into question, but the grouping remains useful and it doesn't matter in that respect that it only has 3 confirmed

In the list of the gods, Freyr is listed among the Aesir gods. He is of the Vanir gods, as is stated in the second paragraph of his entry on wikipedia. The peaceful, agrarian focused gods were Vanir deities, and the warlike, conquering deities were the first generation of the Aesir. (Subsequent
524:(which I've rewritten from scratch and am in the process of expanding) will further explain the situation. For the purpose of this template, I don't think the distinction is necessary. We can't go into too much detail here. I'm currently debating a 'Vanir' template. 978:
There seems to be some disorganisation in the box, as exemplified by the Vanir-Aesir distinction above, but other more subtle ones are still present, like listing Laufey as a giantess while the article points out she was numbered among the ásynjur.

I'll leave the title as it is for now, in order to give people enough time to see my message about it on this discussion page. The faith is not unique to the Norse only (most people only interpret it that way, due to the fact that most

are not only Norse but Germanic mythology as well. Somehow a better solution needs to be found to reflect that as well, because creating two separate templates would be a bit tedious and could clutter articles... any solutions?

Next, the term "mythology" is inaccurate today, due to the reconstructionist revival movements who are intent on reviving the ancient faith... which includes the biggest label name currently in use by practicing members,

I don't see how most of those deities called Vanir here are actually Vanir. Most of them are æsir or ásynjur. The only ones we know for certain to have been Vanir are Freyr, Freyja and their father, Njörður.

results in the semi-unification of these groups, with the Vanir being considered something of subgroup. Characterizing the Vanir as "peaceful, agrarian focused gods" is not correct; see

Over (at least) the last several months, this template has been the target of the addition of "demons" and some other inaccurate tomfoolery. Please revert on sight. Thank you.

Been going through the norse mythology articles and realized it's much harder to look up these things than it should be, would it be possible to get some listings added here?

I found that both Æsir and Ásynjur link to the article Æsir in the template, which confuses me. Is it supposed to be like that?

generations of the Aesir produced more peaceful deities, such as Baldur, primarily because of intermarriages with the Vanir.)
