Well, what’s to say? I’ve been doing some reading on Norse paganism (one who is true to the Æsir, (one of the two families of gods in Norse mythology, the other being the Vanir).
trú, literally “troth” or “faith”.
In Norse mythology, the Æsir–Vanir War was a war that occurred between the Æsir and the Vanir, two groups of gods. The war ultimately resulted in the unification of the two tribes into a single tribe of gods. The war is an important event in Norse mythology, and the implications of the war and the potential historicity surrounding the accounts of the war are a matter of an amount of scholarly debate and discourse.
Æsir is the term denoting a member of the principal groups of gods of the pantheon of Norse paganism. They include many of the major figures, such as Odin, Frigg, Thor, Baldr and Tyr. They are one of the two groups of gods, the other being the Vanir. In Norse mythology, the two are described as having waged war against one another in the Æsir-Vanir War, resulting in the unification of the two into a single tribe of gods.
The interaction between the Æsir and the Vanir has provoked an amount of scholarly theory and speculation. While other cultures have had “elder” and “younger” families of gods, as with the Titans versus the Olympians of ancient Greece, the Æsir and Vanir were portrayed as contemporaries. The two clans of gods fought battles, concluded treaties, and exchanged hostages
The names of the first three Æsir in Norse mythology, Vili, Vé and Odin all refer to spiritual or mental state, vili to conscious will or desire, vé to the sacred or numenous and óðr to the mantic or ecstatic.
Followers of Norse Neo-Paganism and Reconstructionists often follow a set of ethical guide lines called the Nine Noble Virtues. Depending on whether you practice the Odinic Rite or follow the Asatru Folk Assembly, the Nine virtues differ slightly.
