Unfortunately we really don't have primary source information, that was written by ancient believers for ancient believers. So when diving through the Eddas and Sagas it's important to remember that almost all of it was written by Christian scribes a few centuries after conversion.
Source Lore: The Eddas and Sagas (Heimskringla, Gesta Danorum, the Ango-Saxon Chronicle, etc.), Skaldic Poetry, Tacitus' Germania, Beowulf and other Anglo Saxon sources like the Lacunga. Also the reports from traveling Arabic men like Ibn Fadlan.
Scholarly works about the ancient culture: Grimm's Teutonic Mythology (all 4 volumes), Fletcher's Barbarian Invasions, Dubois' Nordic Religion in the Viking Age, Simek's Dictionary of Northern Mythology, texts from Hilda R Ellis-Davidson and Turville-Petre are also great.
