As Personified said Norse Paganism and Witchcraft are not the same.
She pretty much beat me to it
but try to reach out to them by meditating on them dedicate some time to them by reading about them, praying or doing acts of service they would appreciate. I have always been in a similar position to you and have not got an altar. They won't be mad at you for that simply because you can't. Showing them your dedication is much more vital.
You've chosen quiet a mix their if you don't mind me asking what lead to that choice?
Also when you try to contact them don't close yourself off from all the other gods and goddesses that might try to contact you. Also there is no special way of doing this most of the time the gods I work with just came to me or I was lead to them. I didn't really sit down and say I want to work with ...

Loki is usually a good god to start off with when it comes to contacting them and then he may lead you to others.

you can mail me if you want any help or to ask questions

My choice of gods is different, yes, but it's not why I want to work with them. I would like to work with Loki because I've heard he's an easy-going god, and overall decent to work with. He seems like the god I could talk to and get along with. I want to work with Fenrir because he seems to have the same nature as I do, to where I could see working with him easily because we would stand on the same ground. Thor, well, he's a more difficult one to explain. I would like to work with him on the grounds of Bravery, He's a righteous god, and I myself want to be braver. I want to work with Sif because she's the Goddess of Fertility and good harvest, and I love to garden and plant fruits and vegetables, so she would help me with my gardening and help me make sure that my plants were okay and not rotten.

Thank you for your help, I've been meditating and reading a lot about them recently, and feel more at home when reading about them. I'm glad to know they appreciate it.

Nice I was just interested to know that. if you are interested in working with Thor on the grounds of bravery may I also suggest working with Tyr? You probably know him from the story about Fenrir. I'm glad you found it useful and good luck

I do remember Tyr, He's the God of Music, I believe? Fenrir bit off his hand, from what I do recall. He was trying to chain Fenrir up, and had great bravery in doing so. I will look into him, as well. He seems quite interesting, and I have heard he has a love for music. I would want to learn to play the guitar, which may please him.

Thank you once again!~

Tyr is the God of Justice, Bravery, Courage. Etc.

I've never done much indepth work with Tyr, but I would suggest a little bit of caution if you intend on mixing work with Tyr and Fenrir. As always, check with the deities before doing things like combining an altar for the two of them- as there is a lot of past history between the two.

There is a band named after Tyr but the Norse god of music is Bragi. Tyr is the god of War and Justice.

Ah. I knew there was a god of music..
I'll look into working with him. People say my sense of Justice is off, so he may be able to help me.
Do any of you know any rituals? I've been looking around and can't find any.
