Betrothed by Thor


COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Home to the Vikings of yore, Denmark said Wednesday
it will let a group that worships Thor, Odin and other Norse gods conduct
legally-recognized marriages.

The 240-member Forn Sidr, which worships Odin, Thor, Freya
and the other members of the Norse pantheon, sought recognition in 1999,
said Tissel Jacobsen, the group’s president.

Officially recognized religious communities can marry people
and exempt their members from the 1 percent income tax that is imposed
on members of the state church.
