There also seems to be a difference between the Aesir and the Vanir and I'm not sure what that is or where it comes from.
In my experience, when there are two distinct sets of diety within one pantheon it is generally caused by two cultures merging or influences from another area bringing in new ideas that need to be incorporated spiritually. That doesn't feel like what happened here. Am I wrong?
