Yes, I'm so excited, I get to post the Norse Dieties whee
Aegir
Aegir was the primary Norse (Scandinavian) god of the sea. He was a deification of the ocean, both in the calm, beautiful aspects, and in the torrential, destructive aspects. Storms were caused by his anger and it was said that a ship which had wrecked went into "Aegir's wide jaws". Sailors feared Aegir, and thought he would come up to destroy ships. Because of this it is believed that early Anglo-Saxons made human sacrifices to a god of the sea, most likely Aegir, to prevent him from wrecking their ships.
Aegir was crowned with seaweed and was always surrounded by mermaids while in his hall. Gold was put onto the floor of the hall to provide light rather than having a fire. This is why gold was sometimes called "Aegir's fire". Every winter the gods would drink ale at Aegir's hall. Aegir brewed ale for the gods once Thor brought him a big enough kettle. Because of this, he was famed for his hospitality, which was a greatly important virtue to the Norse peoples. The cups in Aegir's hall were always full, replenishing themselves by magic.
Aegir had two servants in his hall, Fimafeng and Eldir. He was son of Mistarblindi and husband of Ran. Ran and Aegire lived under the sea near the island Hlesey. Together they had nine daughters who were the waves.

He was therefore considered immune from harm and the other gods would throw things at him in sport. Loki deceived Hod (Balder's blind brother) into throwing a spear made from mistletoe at Baldur. It was this which killed him. This story can easily be compared to the Greek legend of Achilles' heel.

i beleive all aspects of all beleifs have their time, it is all about what one will do what you are after, what aspect best fits your need,
you can go with all of them, they are all parts of the one god and the one goddess,
greek, i am closest with, and know the most about,
and the list given was only the major gods, not adding in titans, which were older then the gods, and the demi gods, such as the winds, and such, which i find are more specialised, and for one purpose.
gaia is the aspect of the mother i use and artemis is the maiden i use, though i am closest to artemis all the time,
norse, i respect, and i am closest with skadi, who is the aspect of the crone i use.
i use any combination of any, based on what i need.
for the lord, i used, is cerrinose(spelling) who is like cern.
well those are my deities
