Cool way to study regional variation in Old Norse #paganism across Sweden, where the written sources are weak: we have lots of place names that mean "Shrine / Altar / Field / Hill / Grove of [god]". And the various deities named are not evenly spread across the country.

For instance, Ullr was super important around Lake Mälaren, although in the West Scandy written sources this god is barely mentioned.
