A Second Family of Gods? The Vanir

Overview

The "Eddas" usually refer to the gods collectively as "the Aesir." But there's another term for a more specific family of gods that occurs now and then: "the Vanir." Meet the three Vanir whose names we know (the obscure Njorth and his twin children, Frey and Freyja) and consider some of the many social differences between families of the gods.
