Hi recently i think i may have had a quick vision of Thor and i wasn't even doing anything paganlike at the time. But i was wondering if it was normal for gods to come for people who haven't really shown much of an interest in their religion, recently i've been looking into Jewish paganism, Canaanite paganism, wicca and several others. I have been fascinated by some aspects of Norse paganism but never as much as for say jewish paganism. I was wondering do you think its alright for me to maybe worship both Thor and some other Norse deities as well as Jewish/Hebrew ones?, i kinda thought that the Ancient Jews and Norse had a lot in common because both were tribal, both came from the extremes of the elements e.g. Cold and Hot, both practiced shamanistic elements and used a wide variety of magic.

Hope you can help :)

Shamanism was considered unmanly to the norse, although this is often debated. Although Odin was a practitioner so there you go...

If your interested Asa put up some awesome links to Asatru and Norse spirituality once, I can try and dig them up for you.

Personally I wouldn't mix pantheons but thats just me.

So it appears. I thought he sounded familiar.
