Impressive knowlegde of Scandinavian Gods :3 there are other Nordic gods as well (not so well known, look for Kalevala if you want to know more). Like in Finland's old religion where the nature was worshipped:
-Ukko: God of weather and thunder, most powerfull of all gods (like Zeus). Also the god of war/fighting.
-Tapio: The king of forests. People prayed to him when hunting for big game. He had many servants who were pictured as naked, beautiful human-like beings.
-Mielikki: Beautiful goddes of the nature (creates all that is beautiful in nature, also the goddes of medicine), wife to Tapio. She sometimes showed herself to people in the form of an old lady/man wandering in the woods.
-Tellervo: Daughter of Mielikki and Tapio, a playfull spirit which shepherds prayed to when herding sheeps/cattle.
There are also many non-godly creatures that were worshipped,
such as:
-Ilmatar: Spirit of air, Mother to Väinämöinen, who was a great sorcerer. He created kantele, or the Finnish zither, from the mandible of a giant pike.
-Otso: meaning a bear. It was belived that humankind had "evolved" from bears, so they were respected and called with nicknames so that they wouldn't attack.
-Näkki: Evil spirit of water, lived in lakes, rivers, ponds etc. Lured people and especially children into water and drowned them.
