List and Description of Norse Gods/Goddesses

The Norse gods are divided into two major groups, the Aesir and Vanir, Ymir the giant who was the father of Buri came first. Buri in return fathered Bor and he is the father of the famous Odin, Ve and Vili. Some believe the Vanir gods represent an older pantheon of the indigenous people whom the invading Indo-Europeans encountered. In the end the Aesirs, overcome and assimilate the Vanir. Each god held different functions in the military, religious, and economic area.
