Okay, but that's Celtic, not Norse, right?

Interesting, I thought they were free from Jews during that age. The Irish isles, Britain and the general Nordic territory.

And anyway - they want any excuse to make worshipping Jesus Christ ilegal.

Well in the Christian denominations. They think Usury is bad, thinking other races are chattel is bad. And child sex and cannibalism is bad. So why not wipe out the primary enemy?

Off-topic, but I wonder what the mindset behind those kinds of amulets/charms was. Did they think that evil spirits would be frightened by hideous faces, or was it more like "I have depicted you as a freaky-looking caricature" that mocks evil spirits and makes them go elsewhere to sulk? It's probably the former, I reckon, but the latter would be funnier so it's what I choose to believe.

I figured it was "this is the face of evil. Know it so that you can avoid it."

The details of why and how depend on religion and/or folk belief, but that's pretty much it.
Christians, for example, used gargoyles on churches both to scare away evil pagan spirits with "even more evil pagan spirits", and to scare people out of sin (and into the faith) by depicting demons from hell.
