The Vikings believed that there were many different gods that lived in a place called Asgard. Each god was responsible for a different thing such as war, travel or home.
Odin (pictured above), also known as Woden, was the god of war. He rode an eight legged horse and he often doubted himself and would spend too long trying to decide whether or not to do things.		Thor (pictured above), was god of thunder and the most popular god. He was shot-tempered, a little stupid but very good-hearted. He had the qualities Vikings thought most important: strength and determination.
Freyja (pictured above), was the goddess of love and war. She could turn herself into a bird by putting on a magic falcon-skin. She was the sister of Frey who made sure that the sun shone, rain fell and the crops grew.		Loki (pictured above), was half god, half fire spirit. He caused the other gods lots of trouble.
