Some times we chose to follow them and learn on our own what they are about.Then they will at times pick there own among human kind when this happens it it not for us to decide if the Gods made a mistake or not but to accept there choice.
For me I was chosen first by Thor then by Freya once in a while old one eyed Odin will tell me something but that is very rare.Freya is my main contact and yes I have made the trip to her hall and crossed the veil.This is a trip one has to prepare for and not take likely as there is danger on the way. Then at times I just go into a trance and poof im there standing and talking with my Goddess. So no matter how we came to the Gods we are all there followers to do as they instruct us to do.
Hail the Aseir
Hail the Vannar
Hail the Gods of Asgard!
