Belated greetings, Ingeborg!

If you're still interested, here are a couple of possibilities which
hopefully aren't too wide of the mark.

> 1. Many are the gods, and many are their holy places in all the

lands of Midgard.

1. Mörg eru goð, ok margir eru helgir staðir þeira í öllum löndum þeim
er í Miðgarði eru.

> 2. For us [more than two] all of Sweden is a sacred enclosure [_vé_].

2. Oss er öll Svíþjóð vé.
2. Oss er allt Svíaveldi vé.

Alternatively in the first sentence, you could maybe have 'mörg eru
hof' or 'mörg eru vé' or 'margir eru hergir'.

emphatically don't intend to preach here, but only to gain information.)
