Ingaevonerna har varit Frejdyrkarna

Ingaevoner, även ingvaeoner (Yngve Frej dyrkarna), var en av de germanstammar som jämte herminoner(krigare) och istvaeoner (de östliga) tillhörde den ursprungliga folkgrupperna av västgermanerna enligt den romerska historikern Tacitus. De anses ha fått sitt namn från sin gud Ingve Frej som har varit frankernas (Frej anhängernas) och svenskarnas speciella gud.

AI översikt:

Ingaevoner (eller ingvaeoner) var en västgermansk folkstamgrupp (liksom frankerna) under antiken, bosatta längs Nordsjökusten (nuvarande Danmark, Nordtyskland och Nederländerna). De beskrevs av Tacitus som en av tre huvudgrupper av germaner och inkluderade stammar som angler, saxare, jutar, friser och chauker. Namnet härleds troligen från guden Ing (Ingwaz/Yngve).

Mannus

(från Zack Markel)

According to the Roman writer Tacitus, was a figure in the creation myths of the Germanic tribes.

Tacitus wrote that Mannus was the son of Tuisto and the progenitor of the three Germanic tribes, The *Ingaevones, the *Hermione's and the *Istvaeones. While discussing the German tribes Tacitus wrote

*In ancient lays, their only type of historical tradition, they celebrate Tuisto, a god brought forth from the earth. They attribute to him a son, Mannus, the source and founder of their people, and to Mannus three sons, from whose names those nearest the Ocean are called Ingvaeones, those in the middle Herminones, and the rest Istvaeones. Some people, inasmuch as antiquity gives free rein to speculation, maintain that there were more sons born from the god and hence more tribal designations—Marsi, Gambrivii, Suebi, and Vandilii—and that those names are genuine and ancient. - Chapter II - De Germania

The sons of Mannus are linguistically linked to later scandinavian poetry and skaldic verse

Mannus is also potentially linked to other areas of proto Indo European polytheism,

And can be compared to the indo god Manu whome is one of two twin brothers.

Manu and Yemo, The twins decided to create a new world for a new race called 'mankind'. In order to achieve this, Yemo had to be sacrificed and carved up by his brother, with the help of the Sky Gods, to produce mankind. Manu created the earth, water, air and fire, and became the first priest of the new world order.*

And other scholars have linked Mannus to other proto European kings and rulers such as King Minos.
