Talking About Words. There is one very special use of quotation marks which it is useful to know about: we use quotation marks when we are talking about words. In this special use, all varieties of English normally use only single quotes, and not double quotes (though some Americans use double quotes even here).
A set of books called Eddas collected the oral traditions of the Odinists. They believe that nature is the manifestation of the divine and that humans are inherently good. Iceland, Denmark, and Norway have officially recognized Odinism as a religion since 1973. Most often those who embrace Odinism are called followers of ÃsatrÃº (and the religion is also sometimes known as Asatru).
Religions Practiced: Mesopotamians were polytheistic, or believed in many gods and goddesses. They believed in four primary gods of the hills, sky, wind and water. There were also numerous local gods that protected individual cities and kings. They tried to keep the gods happy and satisfied.
