There is Norse Wicca, but there is also a branch of Norse neo-paganism
called Asatru. Asatru (like Druidism) is a little less "fluffy-bunny"
than Wicca. :)

If you're looking for the history of Wicca, it started in the 1930s
with a British Postal Inspector with an S&M fetish named Gerald
Gardener. Most neo-Pagan religions are reconstructionist in nature;
while they hearken back to old Pagan ways, and gather as much
information on ritual and belief as possible through existing tales
and literature, no one has an unbroken line.
