Are there people that still believe in Norse mythology?

Or Greek mythology, basically any ancient polytheistic mythologies like that.
I knew this guy once that was into Viking Metal, and he claimed to be a "Pagan" that believed in Odin and all of that, but it seemed pretty obvious that he was just pursuing a certain style, and wasn't genuine in his convictions.
I would guess that that kind of mythology quickly became irrelevant outside of the medieval tribe war culture.
But what be the answer to my question?

I like the way they tripped and went onto war. Or at least they would work themselves up into a trip. I can relate to that, but I also want nothing to do with the raping and pillaging. The realities of that kinda suck.
Pagans used mushrooms?

Yeah I'll concede to that.
But I cannot imagine one going to war on Psilocybin mushrooms.
Tripping on PCP, more specifically, perhaps.

Interesting. I'm wary of the racist implications, I would probably piss on a piece of wood with a swastika on it, but I mean no personal offense. I have just always been taught that the swastika is a symbol of hate.
I am investigating some of the long-fallen churches of the native american people in my area, but there are not many left and they never used mushrooms to my knowledge. I have european ancestry but I also feel connected to the people who lived where I live.
Around here it is mostly about lines of stones, standing stones, balance rocks, and maybe small caves.
Lol correct me if I'm wrong (which I may be), you seem to show some "pride" you may call it, or fascination with the Viking War culture.
...but your against the Swastika because it's a symbol of hate?
