The story I heard from @ladyreijya was about the depiction of Satan being mainly inspired by Loki. While Loki is a trickster and an antagonist of the gods he is usually not deemed evil. Even the battle between him and the gods is not constant, after all he gave Odin his child Sleipnir. The story on how Loki got pregnant with a horse is a little weird though :D.

The Norse Mythos is about being vigilante and brave, while Christianity promotes submission to a higher power. The Satanism - at least the one @layreija told me about - puts a lot of emphasis on self improvement, according to them Satan has created humankind to become like the gods, so as long as you stay true to yourself and don't blindly trust in authorities, you don't have to worry about Satan being displeased.

I used to be of all religions being just some fairy tails with a good core message that people tend to abuse for power or justification, but meanwhile I think there is a lot of wisdom that might be lost. After all many of our political/philosophical questions have been spiritual question in the past. The Norse also mention a lot of frozen stuff, which might be actually records of the deep Ice Age. After all there are bound to be a lot of sunken cities with a sea level 120 meters lower 20.000 years ago.

So all in all I generally see the three monotheist religions as something build to control humans and build a state, while the old nature believes are actually the nice fairy tails with a message worth exploring. There are also generally so over the top that no one would take them word for word, like some Christians tend to do.

I have been a little inactive for multiple reasons, but after all Steem is still the lessest evil when it comes to social media ;).
