I could be wrong but I think you are due to the reasons given. Even if you are not im pretty sure this was not a custom in Norse society, it may have been in The Germanic period.
I also can't see anything on the internet.

Well I am talking about the Norse gods so if I was refering to Norse culture I would be refering to the Viking era...but like I said if you are talking about The Germanic era there is good chance you could be wrong.
Germanic tribes and Celtic tribes used to mix alot, and apparently even Tacitus (Roman historian) got the tribes mixed up.
If Germanic tribes actually used to do this wouldn't they have taken this tradiation with them to Scandanvia?
The Amazons are mythological, as far as I know, there never was an all powerful female warrior clan of any considerable size.
Boudicca, dubbed "The Celtic warrior queen" lead several uprises against the Romans, but her army wasn't compromised of just women.

Yes and if you are there is a good chance that you got them mixed up with Celtic tirbes because they intermingled alot. 😐
Why wasn't this practiced in Scandinvia? All the evidence indicates you are wrong.

Look I think you are being really unfair here. Im not saying that Democracy in Greece was a pile of shit and they don't deserve any credit for it I am just pretty sure that there were negative aspects of the demorcay and its not as perfect as people think. Im pretty sure that some Greek scholars did not like some of the things that people were doing (but I could be wrong) but I can't give you a quote off the top of my head.
I also made some other valid point you completely ignored it and just focused on that last particular section. What about the rights of women? What about how they treated children, so you're just going to focus on that part of my post and ignor everything else....c'mon man. 😬
Also there was democracy in Iceland which was part of Norse society. So just because The Greeks had democracy doesn.t neccesarily make them superior.

Rights of Women? Thats an anachronism. You can't judge an ancient society by modern standards- which people tend to do to often. Try putting things in context.

Im not using modern standards. So what are you trying to tell me that looking after the rights of women and children is modern. The Celts gave women more rights than they probably do in some countries today, I guess the Celts were 'modern'...on no thats not it they were more civilised. The Celts also gave children alot of rights as well. Context has nothing to do with it.

Wait, wait, wait. Lets see if I can get this straight. The Norse people had democracy but because The Greeks had the same thing that makes them superior?

Its not about who you thinks more powerful its about how would you rather trust based on the actions of the gods in mythology, read the bloody stipulation of this thread and stop acting like a @*#%ing moron.Well thats purely subjective.
War was just part of life but they dealt with many other things as well. 🙄
seriously you have the gungnir shoved up your ass, thats the only problem here.

Now you're just wasting my time. If you're going to be like that then forget it. Its like debating with a racist.
Also considering that you are a Christain and you consider the opression of womens rights acceptable because they didn't think like modern people is pretty disgraceful as well.
