Is ancient German/Germanic mythology different from Norse/Nordic mythology? Are they essentially the same thing, considering that the Norse were (and are) Germanic people in the past or are there substantial differences? I see plenty of references to Norse mythology on the boards but hardly any to German mythology and there seems to be some kind of implication that Norse mythology subsumes German mythology. I am not well-versed in these matters and would be happy to see somebody clarify this for me. Thanks!
