I propose aspect of the salt.

For is not salt a most mystical thing? It can enhance or foul one's bounty, help preserve or kill, tis a thing of rocks and sea, alone it kills what dwells in it, but with earth and water tis a thing of life, give it fire and clay and an art it becomes.

Death and life, succor and deterrence, perseverance and decay, bueaty and ugliness, all is but salt.

I lay claim to spirit of salt.
 
Fertility gods are like, one of the most common functions of spirits, considering how important and mysterious childbirth was to much of the ancient world and how much inheritance of power, authority and virtue was a thing.

Freya and Frigg are thought to be the same person though...

Not really, no. I mean yes, there are people who have theorised that they originated from a common proto-Goddess, but they most certainly show up as different figures in the mythology. You can tell by how Freya is described as a Vanir and Frigg to my knowledge never has been.

If "it has been theorised that they share the same origin" is enough to make two different deities the same, you could make an argument that Thor is Zeus.

You need to file a claim and a counter suit to get anywhere with your pretensions.

First off that copy right is false.

Second, you will cease and desist on the grounds that if you don't i'll eat you.
 
So, it really has been a while since the first A.A. Does anyone remember what the First Magic was, and did we ever even get to a Third Magic?

    Paying Respect to the Spirits triggers, spread of faith to Amatsae

    As the year begins anew, you begin to ponder the nature of things. You see the impure sun reflected in glassy dark stone, see the glitter of melted silica, and are inspired! Within the impure sun lie purer hues, and one especially takes your interest...

    But alas, you are unable to nudge the ash and small flecks of quartz-like glass to any great effect. It seems you have stumbled upon something far beyond your means. Though, perhaps not beyond the tribe's?

    As you cast your attentions out towards them, you find the strange, unmarked Men again, being led to the field of ash and dust that is you. Wizened Men, and elegantly decorated Men, are brought out into the field, so that their feet are coated with soot, and their foreheads willingly touch the earth, rising up to bear the same mark as the Kut. There are not many people who come from that village, but you feel a stirring of power from the north and east. Your consciousness expands, and grows fat with praise. In a moment, your sight expands dramatically, and a great deal of new lands are revealed to you, including the village center of your newest faithful.

    They are distant from you, but you are sure you could manage to affect them as easily as those in your home village if you desire...

    • Regarding Frigg:
    While she was Odin's wife and the mother of Bauldr and other minor God's, Thor wasn't her son, in fact, his mother is Jotunn, which makes him three-quarters Jotunn to one-quarter Aesir (since Odin is half Jotunn himself).

    Not entirely sure if this will have any significant narrative effects, but I do think that spreading the right and proper way to do death rites to our new faithful is a good idea.

    The spoken word carries the wisdom and glory of the divine, in wit and prose, depth and subtly, force and passion.
    It holds power and meaning far above and far beneath that which it ought to have held.

    Tis a tool above all others, and an unsurpassed master of humanity.

    Ashform would send us to sleep for a lot of years, this is way too early to take a nap or we risk losing our followers to any nearby spirits.

    Five years or the three for earth. I'm okay with it right now since there seem to be no others around.
