Norse is the first language I learned for explicitly religious reasons. This made it special in a new way, and opened my eyes to the sacred nature of linguistics and especially of translation -- which is what made me want to be a translator, the career that I am currently pursuing. There are also lots of things I love about Norse that have nothing to do with religion -- I love the way poetry is structured for oral performance (alliterative structure is the GOAT) and the way that music is embedded in everything. I also love that it makes use of an inflected system for nouns but doesn't get hung up on it like Greek or Latin, or even old English at times. There's lots of flexibility that's unique, at least among the languages I've studied.
