[@Rogue Colm] Wouldn't you be able to say that, in laymans terms, that that mostly just relates to the occult side of Christianity? During medieval times this happened too, with tarot etc. but also in the supernatural that wasn't directly sourced from the Church but more so God/Nature etc. 

Obviously there's more to it than that but even in medieval times/church this was basically how people that had a .. more abnormal interest in Christianity were described - occultists. Do you feel you can relate to that?

For me personally I don't have anything with that. Norse paganism is very bare bones when it comes to that. The most I can think of are the seers, gýðja's and goði's that dealt with that kind of stuff, and even then they were mostly just spiritual guidance and not fortunetellers and stuff like that (except maybe the seers). There's no occult side to Norse paganism. 

In that way it's very different - it's less about supernatural forces and such and more so about living a life according to the stories of Óðinn, but above all, to live your own life and be strong and brave in that time. 

It's for that reason we don't bend the knee to anyone unless they deserve it. Even Óðinn does not receive the privilege of my servitude. I don't beg him for favors but rather I ask him and offer him something in return. He's a god, yes, but he's still a man.
