I bought a print from 1851 which features various engravings of Germanic artefacts and gods. Unfortunately I don’t know the source.
This part shows treemen with runes carved on them, a late Swedish runestone, and a circular runic inscription.
The other image is an engraving of unknown origin depicting the three gods of the Uppsala temple; Odin, Thor and Frey

Some aspects of the primary female powers within the Þórr siðr.
Þórr’s wife Sif and his daughter Þrúðr are described with the imagery of the valkyries, flygjur, and dísir, all interchangeable names for the female guiding spirits which determine fate and the fate of family lines in Ragnarsdrápa 8 and 9:
(…) þás hristi-sif hringa (…)
“the shaking-Sif of rings”
(…) sú bœti-Þrúðr dreyrugra benja (…)
“that healing-Þrúðr of bloody wounds”
The first verse shows that Sif has an element associated with determining fate, as the shaking or giving of rings is an aspect associated with war, as rings represent nobility and lordship. To this end, she can be seen as the
shaker of the wills of men. It should be noted that Sif also is said to be a spákona, or a prophetess in the prologue of the Snorra Edda.
The second verse shows Þrúðr has a healing aspect, and an inverse element of bloody wounds, a common element for valkyries as it details an association with war. It also gives an image of how brutal she is, similar to her father, who is the
gramr með dreyrgum hamri, despite being a healing spirit.
These holy women ride with all Þórstrúar, guiding the fates of those who adhere to his siðr.

At midnight last night I heard a whistling sound of an otter by the river. Went to the bank and it was very loud and there was a big splash sound but it didn’t swim off but kept whistling at me so I whistled back at it. Couldn’t see it in the darkness but we whistled back and forth for a while before it left.

What a stance. Holding people accountable for their actions and words, what a strange concept to the modern mind. Destroy your coward internet persona and grow up in all your actions. We salute Tom Rowsell, quietly allowing disrespect isn’t honorable, it’s weak.

The following pages have slandered me and/or spread slander about me including the most egregious slander of all in Heathen custom. To anonymously accuse me of nith is very shameful according to Heathen ethics. Many of you share their content and are friendly with them. I wish to state that I recognise that your having done so is not an intended slight against me as social media isn’t the real world and doesn’t matter as much as people think. However, to slander a man as nith attaches the same shame to all his kinsmen, unless retribution is sought, and so I formally request that, in order to maintain frith, anyone who wishes to remain friendly with me ceases promoting these people. Those of you more familiar with Heathen ethics know what the actual implications to all my friends are for casting such an accusation.

A Sámi example of prostration before the image of a god. Very similar to the proskynesis of the Greeks, Persians and Romans.
Such a method of worship is attested in the sagas in association with Þórr. Kjalnesinga saga details that Þorsteinn lá á grúfu fyrir Þórr, that he lay on on his belly face-down before Þórr.
This custom has specific verbiage and is called liggja á grúfu, to lay on one’s belly.
Note that there are what look like an animal skin on the ground where one worshipper is laying. This presumably would be to keep the worshipper clean, as it was unholy to approach or look upon a sacred site of Þórr with an óþveginn líta, an unwashed appearance as Eyrbyggja saga states.

In the medieval Faroese ballad, Loka Táttur (Tale of Loki), we learn of a farmer who loses a bet with a giant (referred to as Skrymir in some verses, a name for Útgarða-Loki from the Gylfaginning and a generic term for jǫtnarr in the Norse literature) who demands his son.
The ballad proceeds with the farmer asking for the assistance of Odin, Hoenir, and Loki. Beginning with Odin, it reads:
The giant said: "A bet is a bet and I have won, and now pay up, I want your son. I want that son of yours, so do not hide him from me."
The farmer says to his wife: "Ask Odin to come here for me. Please summon Odin the King of the Æsir, for he can hide my son until the giant leaves. I wish Odin was here and would tell me that he would hide my son."
And before he could say another word, Odin was there, standing at their table. "Odin" said the farmer, "I hope you heard me, please I beg you, please hide my son!"
Odin took the boy with him, and the farmer and his wife were worried about what would happen to their son.
Odin took the boy into a field of corn and cast a spell on him, so he would look as though he were just another ear of corn in that field, and then Odin commanded the field of corn to grow, grow fast, in just one night to help hide the boy. And the boy became an ear of corn in the middle of the field, and he blended in with the many ears that all around that field.
And Odin said: "Stay still, and there will not be a problem, and when I call, you must come to me! Remember, stay still, there is nothing to worry about, but when I call though, you must come to me!"
In Loka Táttur, we see worship structures referencing three Gods, in addition to specific qualities pertaining to Odin, Hoenir, and Loki. Odin's assistance given to the farmer is noteworthy, along with His ability to create rapid crop growth overnight. This ultimately provides us with an insight into the multifaceted nature of the Gods and Their essence as unique personalities with Their own agency.
