Re: Attention Deficit Theater Presents: Tartarian Gods
For the Norse gods, going by the archeological record it seems as though Tyr's widespread worship in Norway was essentially wedged out by Woden/Odin's worship coming up from Saxony and into Denmark and Sweden. Snorri's Eddas seemed to place him in a lower rank of god than Thor and Odin, despite the record of oaths to all three gods in the same breath.
I'd probably put Tyr in the group of "cast-off gods". Also possibly Logi (often mistaken for or merged with Loki, the "all-consuming fire"), his wife Glöð (Glut, "glad" or "glowing embers", and daughters Eisa and Eimyria (whose names also seem to mean "embers" or "glowing embers").
