Meet the Norse Pantheon: Gods of Fire, Love, Wisdom, and War

They walked not in temples, but in thunder. They spoke not in sermons, but in dreams, wind, and the curl of sacred smoke. The Norse gods are more than myth—they are archetypes of raw nature and deep emotion, invoked by warriors and mystics alike. At Zen Saga, we honor these divine forces not only in story, but in ritual. Through fire and fragrance, we call them back.

Below, meet the gods who guide our Sacred Scents collection—each one a flame, a whisper, a path.
