Vanir in Norse Mythology

The Vanir gods is an old branch of gods. The Vanir are masters of sorcery and magic. They are also widely recognized for their talent to predict the future. Nobody knows where the land, Vanaheim lies, or even how it looks like. When the war between the Aesir and the Vanir ended, three of the Vanir came to live in Asgard, Njord and his children Freya and Freyr.
