    The cool thing about pre-Christian Norse religion is that they wrote almost nothing down. So it's a completely choose your own adventure religion with source books written by Christians hundreds of years after anyone practiced it.

      The 'chose your own adventure part' is funny, since I think a lot of the little we know of their lore (likely deformed over centuries) ended up being integrated through Tolkien's work as a big part of the basis of most RPGs - the heroic fantasy ones.
