I think thurses / giants are closely linked to mountains by their origins, and in general, at least some of them possess wisdom and outstanding qualities and are worthy of respect. But here in Midgard, it is difficult to live in the body of a giant. It requires more food than a human body, more drink than a human body, more housing than a human body, and if you work in a store handing out goods, no one cares if you are a dwarf, a human, an elf, or a giant. Even if you are a giant, you will not be paid more than humans for such work. The worship of giants is dangerous because such worshippers may give birth to giants, and while they certainly have the right to live, it is unlikely that their lives will be happy here in Midgard (incidentally, the news was published three years ago that the skeletons of giants with an average height of 2.5 meters/8.2 feet were found in the Borjomi Gorge in Georgia).

If giants were born, they would even have trouble communicating on the internet, because keyboard keys are not designed for giant fingers, although keyboards for fat people might help. Praise Asgard for the existence of fat people!

To be honest, in the economic conditions of my city, worshiping to Dwarves would be much more promising.

I don't think worshipping the fiery giants from the fiery world of Muspellhaim is a good idea. In fact, the two nuclear mushroom clouds—the one over Nagasaki and the one over Hiroshima—were fiery giants. It's not that they weren't majestic enough to worship, it's just that a lot of people don't want to see them again in this world.

Giants (as tall and large humanoid creatures) were, are, and will be. Perhaps the worship of giants will eventually lead to a gradual increase in the height of the offspring of human worshippers over several generations and the emergence of a race of giants. By the way, one of the names of the god Odin is “tall,” so obviously if you pray to him to increase the height of your offspring, he can help.

But giants will need a country of giants, Jotunheim, where living conditions for giants can be created. This will certainly change the political map of the world, but the political map of the world changes regularly anyway, so it's not a big deal.

I have nothing against tall people—up to 2.5 meters tall. But if they exceed that height and became giants —say, 3 or 5 meters—it becomes difficult for them to live in Midgard. A group of such giants would require a country of giants, Yotunghaim, with housing suitable for giants, and prices and wages suitable for giants; with closes suitable for giants. it would be hard for them to live here in Midgard.

"with clothing and shoes suitable for giants"

It’s not fair to say that all giants are troublemakers, but many giants are troublemakers — and I’m not talking about people who are up to 2.5 meters tall. Giants need a land of giants, country of giants to live in; it’s hard for them to live alongside humans. And in general, when answering the philosophical question about the nature and cause of evil, Asatru sometimes blames certain giants, like Surtr, for woes.

There’s nothing wrong with worshipping of some worthy giants, but worshipping giants who are enemies of humans and gods—enemies of humanity—that will make life harder for anyone who worships them.
