What you describe is mainstream for most Christians.

Sweden incorporated the idea of preordained death where the dead was granted rewards and glory in the afterlife in the same style as in northern mythology during their Empire era,.

don't go to death hoping for death, because you won't get it

That's sort of what I'm looking for, but not precisely.

I'll look into that though, thank you.

This here could be interesting for you:

The german wiki article to the Heliand gives a lot of examples of the use of pagan elements in the bible text.

Half of the extra-biblical saints are re-writes of local legends and gods, so that's hardly surprising. Cultural assimilation always leaves some residuals.

Josaphat and brahlam.

>Saint Brigid of Kildare or Brigid of Ireland (Irish: Naomh Bríd; Latin: Brigida; c.451 – 525) is one of Ireland's patron saints, along with Patrick and Columba. Irish hagiography makes her an early Irish Christian nun,[3] abbess, and foundress of several monasteries of nuns, including that of Kildare in Ireland, which was famous and was revered. Her feast day is 1 February, which was originally a pagan festival called Imbolc, marking the beginning of spring. Her feast day is shared by Dar Lugdach, whom tradition says was her student and the woman who succeeded her.

>The saint shares her name with an important Celtic goddess and there are many legends and folk customs associated with her. Some scholars suggest that the saint is merely a Christianization of the goddess. Others suggest that she was a real person who took on the goddess's attributes.
