.According to the Vatican Voudon is still Catholicism (except when it's not).

Do you have a source for this?

Sorry if this was already discussed or is otherwise a painfully obvious question, but what’s the relationship between Norse mythology and Germanic mythology? About all I know is Odin is there and his name is Wotan. Are there any good books on Germanic mythology?

Germanic mythology IS norse mythology, same gods, different variants and pronounciations, often 'Germanic' and 'Norse' are even interchangeable in academia. Are you thinking about southern German stuff? Like, there's "Continental Germanic Mythology", about which we know precious little - I would recommend the Merseburg Incantations, the Muspilli and the Lay of Hildebrand. All ought to be available online.

I was interested in the myths of the Teutonic tribes. According to the family oral history we are descendants of them. (I can prove one ancestor came from Switzerland in the mid-1700’s but that’s as far back as I got.)
