The point of 'Generic' is not to replace 'Loki' with 'Glorp'; it's to replace specific references to gods ("Loki", "Odin", "Tyr") with generic references that the GM can fill in, <i>or not</i>, as they please ("The God of Mischief", "God of Wisdom", "Lord of Justice"). Does the combination of the Norse-ish setting and the term "God of Wisdom" make you think "Odin"? Great, use Odin. If you already have an established game world, though, and your God of Wisdom is already established as Athena, this makes it easier to slot it in.
