It's better than anything any other religion has to offer.
I have to say the post above me is missing quite a few gods and goddesses.
Hoder is made up. Also, everyone thinks that Loki is a god. He is not. He is a giant that has befriended the gods.
To help you out, I'll partly fill in your porous entry.
Ullr: god of skiing and archery
Villi and Vi: two of original three gods (with Othin), not seen much after beginning
Ægir: god of sea
Forseti: son of Baldr and Nanna
Heimdall: guardian of Bifrost
Honir and Mimir: Vanir who were exchanged with the Aesir as part of the treaty
Njorth: father of Frej and Freja
Hoth- blind god who was used by Loki to kill Baldr
Surt: god of Muspelheim

It's an old religion. Most people are not aware that the native Norse religion has been practiced to some extent up to the current day, and it's currently experiencing a major resurgence in both its native land and elsewhere.

Norse Mythology is brilliant, in my opinion it hasd far more variety and substance than the greek/roman or egyptian mythology. Much of the work on the religion that surronds it is also interesting as are the Runes.

Norse Myths are fascinating, especially those that have to do with Hamlets Mill, the "Quern", precession,and descriptions of the constellations.
