Saturn's Norse group of satellites Puns

Hi there! Hope you are doing well and good this day and every day.

I come with the question in the title because i wish to know more religious practices outside of the popular Vikings that the media always pushes forward as badass (which they are lol). What other more not well known groups or cults devoted themselves to the Norse gods? Were they sub-categories of Vikings or something else entirely? Would love to hear you all discuss!

I only know of Ganymede being referred to as the "Jupiter of Jupiter" in this original naming scheme, but I can't find any resources listing what the others were originally named.

If Ganymede was the "Jupiter of Jupiter" then which satellites were the Saturn, Venus, and Mercury?

I want to bet that Ganymede might have been the "Mercury of Jupiter" because of it's size, but I'd love to know if there's an actual chart with this information preserved.

Definitely a long shot, random post… but I’ve found it very difficult to find other people who like Norse paganism here in London - it would be cool to get a community like Norse Fitness in the US together here in London. I just love the idea of simplifying things, lifting each other up, being a little spiritual, and getting better each day.

[THE NINE REALMS] Norse Themed RP server

Main Slow Storyline King Þrymr -King Þrymr has hid himself within the land of Midgard with Mjolnir; hammer of Thor. His demands were for the Vanir Goddess Freya as his wife. Its presence has scared many Norse locals to believe Fimbulvetr is upon them, but, that is not the case. Norsemen see the changing season and the invasion of the englishmen to be connected, further pointing to a major shift that something is wrong. The earth quivers in quakes that threaten to tear the mountains asunder. Is there a way to stop the changing of the world?

Side storyline Englishmen -Englishmen have arrived from overseas to begin pushing their kingdom boundaries, their religion, and to peacefully convert the Norsemen to their way of life. There are some within the kingdom of the English who believe that the way of peace is not the correct way to expand their borders. Within the army of the king there is a secret army seeking to usurp the throne to get to a higher state of power.

Let's make it happen.

Like if you were from one of the towns named after Tyr or Odin or Thor, were you most likely going to be in a regional cult that specifically worshipped that deity over the others? How much was the Norse pantheon actually a coherent interconnected story canon to the average person at the time? And how much was it just different groups of people in different regions that worshipped different things, kind of all just letting their lore blend together and combining individually-developed regional myths into a broader story over time?

For instance do we know that Thor was always considered Odin’s son, or is it possible that the people that developed and worshipped Thor started interacting with the people that worshipped Odin, and instead of fighting about it they compromised with “well maybe they were related” and it went from there?

And really I’ve always wondered if this applied to all of the other polytheistic pantheons too. How much did people on the ground at the time actually care about the broader overarching mythology, and how much was it a case of different towns and groups with different myths that developed independently, which were then retroactively combined into one canon as a compromise? Do we know of any times where perhaps a conquering ruler would recognize all of the different myths and deities as being part of the same broader story as a way to appease the different religious sects and cults that would otherwise have been at odds with each other?

And is it possible that lots of people weren’t necessarily “polytheistic” at all and it’s just historians looking at evidence of lots of different deities being worshipped at the same time and concluding that everyone must have worshipped or treated everything as canon? Like is it possible that Roman historians looked at all the archeology and history dedicated to the various Greek gods that people worshipped and came to the conclusion that it was a much more coherent interconnected mythological universe than it actually would have been to the average Greek person at the time?

• Over time more satellites can be added to increase the size and resolution of what can be shown.
• The satellites are in a relatively low orbit but are capable of station-keeping using ion thrusters.
• The orbit is fixed but designed to take it over as many populated areas as possible.
• The satellites are solar powered but relatively compact and strongly hardened against interference from outside radiation sources - natural or otherwise.
• The individual/group that created and controls this project is particularly interested in using it to support humanitarian causes, in particular to communicate factual news openly with the citizens of countries where the media suffers from oppressive restrictions or censorship from their governments.
