I just read an interesting book on Vladimir of Russia who united the major regions and changed the religion of the area from Norse pagan to Greek Orthodox at about 1000AD. One of the most interesting passages was for the final destruction of the giant wooden statues of Thor. To begin with there was often a fight with the citizens who did not want to give up their aliegance to Thor. It was not enough to tear the statue down, Thor was associated and gained strength from fire and so the only way to destroy the statue and the power of Thor was with water. The statues were floated down the river to a rocky waterfall. Ropes blocked the floating logs from moving beyond the waterfall and the statues were left to be caught in the whirlpools, plunged under the falls, and battered against rocks until there was nothing left. The process took several years before the God Thor was rendered helpless. TP
