Answer 1

What you need to do is read a little about Aryan, which is exclusively linked to Persian culture. It has absolutely nothing to do with European culture.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan

Read it all.

And as far as mythology, it's just storytelling plain and simple.

It was a replacement for organized religion.

Answer 2

I would say the tone, particularly the sense of humour, is very similar if you compare the Icelandic sagas and surviving eddas with the Persian epic of Kings.

Otherwise, I wouldn't think much in the way of commonalities have survived -- nomadic peoples (like the Aryans) aren't known for written histories and oral histories are too easily altered and lost.

Beyond this, all myths are fundamentally similar, if you know what to look for. Pick up Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces. It won't help you with Aryan derived myths alone, but it does deal with all myths found in the world, and then you can pick up any myths you like and see where they fit together yourself.

Answer 3

Black metal Odinism is a load of crap. If you want to know about the norse, the closest surviving reletives, bothj in faith and blood, are the icelandic. They're the only country to hold the norse faith as the national faith. Have a look. Sniff around their stuff.
You might be very disterbed by the lack of relation to this "Aryan" crap.

Damn I hate Odinism. It's insulting. It really is.

Answer 4

Why are you typing like such an idiot? And what do you mean by "common things"?

Answer 5

no not into that
