Yes, Odin.
So Sinfjotli drank, and straightway fell down dead to the ground.
Sigmund rose up, and sorrowed nigh to death over him; then he took the corpse in his arms and fared away to the wood, and went till he came to a certain firth; and then he saw a man in a little boat; and that man asked if he would be wafted by him over the firth, and he said yes thereto; but so little was the boat, that they might not all go in it at once, so the corpse was first laid therein, while Sigmund went by the firth-side. But therewith the boat and the man therein vanished away from before Sigmund's eyes.

As far as I know, the "ferryman" in Nordic myth were the Valkyries They took souls to Valhalla and decided the outcomes of battles. The ferryman was Charon who took your soul across the river Styx (for a fee) in Greek mythology but there is no river as such in Nordic myth. so, to answer your question, Valkyries.
Thor, a Norse/Nordic God.

There was no childbirth god or goddess in Norse, though one of Odin's wives died in childbirth. Nordic mythology is quite different from the olympic calm of the Greco-Roman pantheon ( see Hamilton"s mythology). There is much fighting and violence and little sweetness and light. Frig, also Frigga or Freya, was the closest they came to Aphrodite, the Love Goddess and subject of the song 'Venus,' her Roman name. There was no Solar deity in Nordic mythoology, either.
Valkyrie is a Nordic word meaning "choosers of the slain". It was the name given to a legion of women who worked for Odin. They chose the bravest dead from battlefields and took them to the hero's "heaven" Valhalla. Which is why the Valkyrie movie cracks me up. I mean, they were chicks!

There are both Germanic and Roman origins to Wednesday. It is derived both from the Nordic god Woden and the Roman god Mercury.
Woden was the chief god in Nordic mythology. The Germanic Wodin is the Norse Odin, husband of Frigg (Friday) and father of Balder, Thor (Thursday) and Tiw (Tuesday).
The Prose Edda is important to the Nordic culture because it is a key source of information about Norse mythology, providing insight into the beliefs, values, and stories of the ancient Norse people. It was written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century and has had a lasting influence on Nordic literature and art. The Prose Edda also played a significant role in preserving Norse mythological traditions for future generations.
Denmark is not just similarwith the Nordic countries, but is one of the Nordic countries.
