Anglo-Saxon Religion Redux

Description
A small mod that adds a decision to reform Anglo-Saxon Paganism if you are an Anglo-Saxon ruler. Since not much is known about Anglo-Saxon Paganism, a few creative liberties were taken.

I have recently gotten a full time job so development on this will be even slower than before. However, I do plan to create more in this mod utilising the new modding tools from the latest update.

Changelog:

Added Anglo Saxon Paganism.
Created a Decision to convert to it if Anglo Saxon
Added new holy sites for the Religion.
Updated history of Anglo Saxon characters (credits to Anglo-Saxophone)

Upcoming (Potentially):

New events.
New decisions.
Patron deities.

Adding different faiths for hellenic religion, slavic, etc to represent regional mythos wouldn't be a bad idea actually.

Finally someone who understands this. It'd be like splitting the Hellenic faith into multiple regional cultures like "Lacedonian", "Dorian", "Macedonian" etc. People don't even portray the Roman faith as being any different than the Greek one, which it was. It was even more split apart then Anglo & Norse due to their Pre-Etruscan roots. It's worth pointing out that the Etruscans Hellenised Roman myth, but the Etruscan religion was also quite unique.
What'd be best is if all cultures, even the Swedes, Geats, Norweigans, Jutes and Danes all had their own religions. Like Sweden having a higher emphasis on Freyja and Thor (in the temple of Uppsala, the Thor idol was seated on a throne suggesting he was king. Similar to Perun and Veles's rivalry. However Thor (light, electricity, friction) could be visually shown as king whereas Odin (sound, wind, friction) said to be king)

2 The Geats (goths) and Danes could emphasise Odin more. With Jutes perhaps worshipping a benevolent Jotun due to their name "Jute" being cognate with a Germanic demon (Jotun).
The Faroese were said to worship two malevolent female Jotun aswell, named Thorgerd and Irpa.
The Norweigans worshipped a friendly Jotun named "Skadi".
I think there could be varying degrees of hostility between these cults, and perhaps an option to switch between them like the Hindus, Buddhists & Jains could switch in CK2 (why do they always represent Indian polytheists well but noone else).

Is this still being updated?

Actually the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes who settled in England after the Roman departure were most closely aligned with the Scandinavian/Viking culture/religion. Witness Wodin (instead of Odin) for example. Of course they were all part of the Germanic family tree.

Using this in Royal Court and so far works well.

@Sir Greyliege Anglo-Saxons are Germanic peoples from northern germany and denmark

@Sir Greyliege Anglo-Saxon is not Celtic. The Anglo-Saxons came from a Germanic peoples but they might have thought Stonghenge was an important place. There isn't much information on their view of the site.

@Jacon I did have it written here before somewhere, but I pretty much just made it up using Anglosaxon words meaning pretty much the same as Ásatrú from the base game
