Its only proper that Tolkiens works are so well written..he borrowed heavily from The norse/viking religions. In fact "gandalf" means "Wand elf", the king of the elves. Damn near ever single dwarf was copied from the eddas.
I have said it before, and I will say it again..the norse had the coolest religious stories. Most other religions put me to sleep. The Eddas got me excited.
