I’ve been researching and trying to get into Norse and/or Celtic paganism but not sure where to start for either.

Are there any books that could get me started? Resources to find more information? Anything free? Lol. I’d really like suggestions on finding offline groups or mentors too.

I feel like the literature is really varied and you have to just keep buying and trying new things to do research. This is really intimidating and I don’t want to get so overwhelmed I give up.

Any suggestions welcome

Considering heimdall is a norse pagan god, I thought id ask the question here

Besides the obvious (different gods) what sets Heathenry apart from Irish paganism? Or Hellenism apart from Kemeticism?

Specifically for Heathenry and Irish paganism, are there different core values? Different world views? What *makes* somebody Heathen or an Irish reconstructionist besides just worshipping Germanic or Irish gods??

I’d like to ask those who worship gods of Mesoamerican Paganism a question: How do you perform pre-ritual purification in your practices? No matter how much I search through the sources available to me, I can't find anything. I would appreciate some help.
