  1. Complex topic. Certain people and places definitely 'belonged' to a certain deity. Pythia, the oracle of Delphi, was appointed to Apollon. The warrior class of Norse society was appointed to Tyr, Odense means 'Odin's ve' i.e. Odin's holy place. Thor's hammers are overrepresented in Skåne and Denmark. But that all seems to have been on an institutional level. And tbh also 'fashion'. In general I don't think people in their everyday life belonged to ONE deity like in Christianity. That would be like wanting to win Champion's league in football, but your team only consists of a goalie. Pagans are opportunists. They're like 'Ok, we've got a ghost here. Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!'
