Continental Germanic mythology is a subset of Germanic mythology, going back to Germanic polytheism of the Migration period as practiced in parts of Central Europe before gradual Christianization during the 6th to 8th centuries. It continued in legends, and Middle High German epics during the Middle Ages and also, although in a recharacterized and less sacred fashion, in European folklore and fairy tales.
