Just wanted to add in three super helpful videos for those of you who might be just getting started on your assignment.
The first two are Neil Gaiman reading stories from his book Norse Mythology - very entertaining! The third is Dr Jackson Crawford talking about Historical Worship of the Norse Gods which would be VERY helpful for you in terms of what it looked like for people to actually live and worship within this religious system.
