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.

"To me, it would be wrong if the indigenous religion of this country wasn't recognized," Tove Fergo, the minister for Ecclesiastic Affairs and a Lutheran priest, told The Associated Press.

Under Danish law, the state Evangelical Lutheran Church has sole authority to recognize other religious communities.

Are they going to get Viking funerals, too, or would that violate some wacko environmental laws?

Not to mention the wife or other female that accompanies the deceased on the final voyage.

FreeRepublic doesn't allow posting of full articles from Newsday.com. Your post will probably be deleted if they catch wind of it.

I would not have a clue how to hunt down the list.

It will probably come in handy for the odd bit of ritual service:

I'll say, they've already invaded and claimed an arctic island that Canada says is theirs.
