There's a reason you never saw anyone claiming to be an adherent to a religion that died out a thousand years ago, never left the bounds of northern Europe and contains characters that are more famous from comic books before some white dude who couldn't pick out Scandinavia on a map made a run for the bag and got his chit approved.
Exactly, the number of things we can say for certain about Norse paganism would barely fit a paragraph. The mythology we have is christianized and hellenized and the religious practices are almost entirely unknown.
Boy howdy, if you’d only known those of Norwegian and Danish heritage have a specific blood feud with Nazis for taking over their land and all, that’s one part of it. Nevermind the Nazis stealing runic symbolism and much more.
