According to all the old sources and traditions, sacrifices in the Norse/Germanic religion was made out in nature at places such as burial mounds, groves, horgr and other sacred places. However, there are a few instances, where according to the later on Scandinavian folk tradition, you could give offerings inside the home. There are certain spirits that live in or around the home, and there are certain ways you should deal with them for the most beneficial cohabitation. Some of these include the tomte, vette, nisse, spiritus, and bjära.
