We might be able to assume a bit of it, such as Njord and Freja, but for the
rest we have absolutly no certain knowledge at all to go on for the
pre-Christians. The so called Asa Gods, the Gods the Icelandic Sagas say
existed during Viking Age which was more or less the period of St Ansgars
and on, aren't known to have exist before Migration Age and maybe not in
such an extant during Viking Age as the Sagas say.....
