Wasty: The Norwulff and Volkism belief practices are largely a whole sale lifting of Norse Mythology in terms of the god names, although some creative elements have been injected to give it a more wolf flare, starting with the Goddess Lupa. Lupa stands at the top of the Pantheon, seen to be the den mother to all wolves, starting with Oldwyn and later Freyja who would become his wife. (Even if that technically makes them siblings, but it's old religion so best not to think about it.) basically erasing the role of Frigg in this version. Oldwyn and Freyja rule over the realm of Asgrowl, (Norwulff heaven) which is considered to be the closest place to Lupa herself, Oldwyn represents wisdom and power, whereas Freyja is representative of empathy, nature and fertility.
They would go on to have two sons, Fenrir (who has been swapped for Thor, or in this case Boar, a beastly giant boar monster that guards the gates of Hell/Hades) as the god of thunder, and Vulki, the trickest fox god who was adopted into the family. Our Loki essentially becomes one of the principal evil forces in Norse Mythology, however, in this Animalian mutation, Vulki also does some terrible things, but eventually reconciles with his adoptive family. Beyond that, there are various lesser Norwulff gods that fill the pantheon, many of which have specific importance to specific packs or Norwulves in different regions of the country. But if I spent the time to swede all of them into animal puns and positions for this post alone, the length would be massive and it would be a multi-day project. So I hope that is enough to satisfy you for now.
Also technically Predator religions aren't seen as Preygansim, they have their own denomination/flavor called Predganism. A little clunky, but it works.
Extra also, just an update for those wondering where it is, the next drawn ask is another doozy, so hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow...if not I may push it off to next week. It's another superhero one, and that's all the spoilers you're getting. Thanks!
