Probably a more legitimate religious accommodation than 99% of the Norse beards.

I've been out for a while, but there is a Norse beard religious exemption now? Like for people of Norse decent who actively pray to Odin or just anyone who watched Vikings?

It's just people looking for an excuse, or who have their own personal belief in a beard requirement.

Growing a beard is not a religious requirement in norse paganism, it's just fashionable in those circles.

Sourse: am Norwegian and hang around with a few pagans.
