With a <a href="/wiki/Chronological_dating" title="Chronological dating">chronological range</a> of at least one thousand years in an area covering Scandinavia, the British Isles, modern Germany, the Netherlands, and at times other parts of Europe, the beliefs and practices of Germanic paganism varied. Scholars typically assume some degree of continuity between Roman-era beliefs and those found in <a href="/wiki/Norse_paganism" class="mw-redirect" title="Norse paganism">Norse paganism</a>, as well as between Germanic religion and reconstructed <a href="/wiki/Indo-European_religion" class="mw-redirect" title="Indo-European religion">Indo-European religion</a> and post-conversion <a href="/wiki/Folklore" title="Folklore">folklore</a>, though the precise degree and details of this continuity are subjects of debate. Germanic religion was influenced by neighboring cultures, including that of the Celts, the Romans, and, later, by the Christian religion. Very few sources exist that were written by pagan adherents themselves; instead, most were written by outsiders and can thus present problems for reconstructing authentic Germanic beliefs and practices. </p><p>Some basic aspects of Germanic belief can be reconstructed, including the existence of one or more origin myths, the existence of a myth of the end of the world, a general belief in the inhabited world being a "<a href="/wiki/Midgard" title="Midgard">middle-earth</a>", as well as some aspects of belief in fate and the afterlife. The Germanic peoples believed in a multitude of gods, and in other supernatural beings such as <a href="/wiki/J%C3%B6tnar" class="mw-redirect" title="Jötnar">jötnar</a> (often glossed as giants), <a href="/wiki/Dwarf_(folklore)" title="Dwarf (folklore)">dwarfs</a>, <a href="/wiki/Elves" class="mw-redirect" title="Elves">elves</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Germanic_dragon" title="Germanic dragon">dragons</a>. Roman-era sources, using Roman names, mention several important male gods, as well as several goddesses such as <a href="/wiki/Nerthus" title="Nerthus">Nerthus</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Matres_and_Matronae" title="Matres and Matronae">matronae</a>. Early medieval sources identify a pantheon consisting of the gods *Wodanaz (<a href="/wiki/Odin" title="Odin">Odin</a>), *Thunraz (<a href="/wiki/Thor" title="Thor">Thor</a>), *Tiwaz (<a href="/wiki/Tyr" class="mw-redirect" title="Tyr">Tyr</a>), and *Frijjō (<a href="/wiki/Frigg" title="Frigg">Frigg</a>),<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>a<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> as well as numerous other gods, many of whom are only attested from Norse sources (see <a href="/wiki/Proto-Germanic_folklore" title="Proto-Germanic folklore">Proto-Germanic folklore</a>). </p><p>Textual and archaeological sources allow the reconstruction of aspects of Germanic ritual and practice. These include well-attested burial practices, which likely had religious significance, such as rich grave goods and the burial in ships or wagons. <a href="/wiki/Anthropomorphic_wooden_cult_figurines_of_Central_and_Northern_Europe" class="mw-redirect" title="Anthropomorphic wooden cult figurines of Central and Northern Europe">Wooden carved figures</a> that may represent gods have been discovered in bogs throughout northern Europe, and rich sacrificial deposits, including objects, animals, and human remains, have been discovered in springs, bogs, and under the foundations of new structures. Evidence for sacred places includes not only natural locations such as <a href="/wiki/Sacred_trees_and_groves_in_Germanic_paganism_and_mythology" title="Sacred trees and groves in Germanic paganism and mythology">sacred groves</a> but also early evidence for the construction of structures such as temples and the worship of standing poles in some places. Other known Germanic religious practices include divination and magic, and there is some evidence for festivals and the existence of priests. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Subject_and_terminology">Subject and terminology</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Germanic_paganism&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Subject and terminology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Definition">Definition</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Germanic_paganism&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Definition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Germanic religion is principally defined as the religious traditions of speakers of Germanic languages (the <a href="/wiki/Germanic_peoples" title="Germanic peoples">Germanic peoples</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHultgård2010a863_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHultgård2010a863-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The term "religion" in this context is itself controversial, <a href="/wiki/Bernhard_Maier" title="Bernhard Maier">Bernhard Maier</a> noting that it "implies a specifically modern point of view, which reflects the modern conceptual isolation of 'religion' from other aspects of culture".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMaier201899_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMaier201899-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Never a unified or codified set of beliefs or practices, Germanic religion showed strong regional variations and <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_Simek" title="Rudolf Simek">Rudolf Simek</a> writes that it is better to refer to "Germanic <i>religions</i>".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESimek200474_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESimek200474-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In many contact areas (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Rhineland" title="Rhineland">Rhineland</a> and eastern and northern Scandinavia), Germanic paganism was similar to neighboring religions such as those of the <a href="/wiki/Slavs" title="Slavs">Slavs</a>, <a href="/wiki/Celts" title="Celts">Celts</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Finnic_peoples" title="Finnic peoples">Finnic peoples</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHultgård2010a865–866_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHultgård2010a865–866-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The use of the qualifier "Germanic" (e.g. "Germanic religion" and its variants) remains common in <a href="/wiki/German-language" class="mw-redirect" title="German-language">German-language</a> scholarship, but is less commonly used in English and other scholarly languages, where scholars usually specify which branch of paganism is meant (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Norse_paganism" class="mw-redirect" title="Norse paganism">Norse paganism</a> or <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_paganism" title="Anglo-Saxon paganism">Anglo-Saxon paganism</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEZernack2018527–528_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEZernack2018527–528-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The term "Germanic religion" is sometimes applied to practices dating to as early as the <a href="/wiki/Stone_Age" title="Stone Age">Stone Age</a> or <a href="/wiki/Bronze_Age" title="Bronze Age">Bronze Age</a>, but its use is more generally restricted to the time period after the Germanic languages had <a href="/wiki/Germanic_languages#History" title="Germanic languages">become distinct</a> from other <a href="/wiki/Indo-European_languages#Diversification" title="Indo-European languages">Indo-European languages</a> (early <a href="/wiki/Iron_Age" title="Iron Age">Iron Age</a>).
