Standard Norwegian language, bokmaal, is based on Danish since Denmark was the stronger partner in the Danish-Norwegian Union from the 16th century to 1814, when we were seceded to Sweden after the end of the Napolonic wars. By then we had a strong local bureaucracy and the Swedes didn't even try to rule us the way the Danish had, so from then on we could develop our language further on our own.
Regarding norse magick, I am mostly aware of 'blot', sacrificial ceremonies of which xmas is probably best known ;) We also have our norse gods of course.
