  • Teiws is another Gothic deity that has been recorded but not much is know about, we can easily see that the cognate to the Proto-Germanic Tīwaz, was later called Teiws in Gothic thus their similarities. Like Gautr before him Teiws might have also been the tribe's mythical, eponymous ancestor, possibly related to Týrfingr the mythical sword, 'the finger' of the god Týr. Teiws himself was known Among the Tervingi and their elites of the Balth dynasty who might have claim descents from Teiws himself which was stated by Jordanes in Getica.

  • Gaut or Gapt is a Gothic deity often times associated with Odin however there aren’t any evidence of his appearance to be link to Odin we can make other inferences that can help establish the connection between the two deities. The gothic rune ansuz was later interpreted to ansic which was the original name for the ancestor for the Amali dynasty and perhaps the entire gothic tribe. Later on in centuries Gautr was used as another name for Odin himself.

  • In my humble opinion the Germanic piety of the saxons on continental Europe resembles the most to the Gothic piety. We are somewhere aware of three known deities they might have worshipped, however by reconstructing along with continental Germanic deities we can form somewhat accurate parallels and deities with the Gothic deities.

  • Brunhilda was a Visigothic Princess from Toledo, and a queen of Austrasia and part of Francia, by marriage to the Merovingian king Sigebert I of Austrasia. The story of Brynhild is also told in Norse tradition however she is depicted as a valkyrie who falls in love with the hero-dragon slayer Sigurd.

  • Berig was a legendary ancestral king of the goths and was the reason that the early Geats/Goths migrated to continental Europe. Being the founder of Gothiscandza (the Vistula Basin) it is also said he might’ve been a decent of Gaut who was a mythical ancestor or national god in the origin of the Geats/Goths.

  • The word “Ergi” is an Old Norse word that translate to “unmanly” and its equivalent to modern times would be “Fag”. Often times Ergi is associated with males who practice in rune magic or Seiðr, which can give us an idea how Old Norse society view their men and women and their traditions and beliefs and costumes.

  • The epic poem of Beowulf is one of the oldest in Germanic heroic legends. Beowulf himself is a descendant of one of the Gothic tribes the Geats.
