Asatru
NowhereMan:
Though this isn't something that I see as meshing well with Asatru, at least from my recon perspective :D, but if it is something that you like and feel a connection with, then go fir it! I do have one question though: why are there specific deities placed in each realm? The Aesir reside in Asgard, and the Vanir in Vanaheim.

Would you care to elaborate?

I am not sure what sources you are using for your recon, but Freyja and Freyr reside in Asgard - a consequence of the peace treaty from the war between the Aesir and the Vanir.
Frey was given a hall in Lossalfheim at birth and he is the Lord of Vanaheim, while Freyja is the Lady. The other "deities" are the rulers of the respective realms where I have placed them.

Ascribing elements, deities, and attributes to the realms seems a little odd to me just because that's not necessarily the type of thing that "fits" with Asatru. Its just an observation though, certainly not a criticism; if you disagree I'd love to hear your take on it. :)

Correct that Freyr and Freyja reside in Asgard, but I've never heard of Thor being said 'rule' Midgard, for instance. Though I tend to get most of my information from the AFA, Asatru Alliance, and the Eddas, of course. So I am a little limited in my scope I guess.
