Talk:Common Germanic deities

message: This page has no references.  I am also unclear as to whether this is a list of deities FROM proto-Germanic paganism or someone's proposed list of deities FOR neo-pagan activities - I think the latter, but the wording is unclear. --Brianyoumans 03:54, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Notes

message: 1) **Lohho is the reconstructed form for Old High German. The protogermanic form should be *Lukan. But since this god is mentioned only in Norse Eddic Literature, he can not be considered as Protogermanic. 2) *Frījō is in Old Norse Frigg not Freyja, which would be *Frauwjō.
Please don´t change this article, when you are not good in the subject of Proto-Germanic language! One who knows about, may see easily, that *Lohho is an impossible form and he does not mix up Frigg with Freya etc! --Al-Qamar 16:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Reference Info

message: I am really not sure whether going the whole mile and reconstructing a Proto-Germanic form (they weren't even marked with asterisks!) for each of these mythological entities is useful, it looks like some speculative BS, to put it succinctly. Many of these are only attested a thousand years after PGmc was last more or less a unified language community, it is so ahistorical to just project this mythology verbatim back onto the late first millennium BC. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 09:15, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  This page has lots of issues 

message: The Easter goddess is most likely a uniquely West Germanic goddess as no reference is found about her in the North Germanic sources. In the date of the Old English holyday linked to Easter by Bede one finds the Sigrblot (Sacrifice for victory) instead.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.227.139.237 (talk) 08:05, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
