The books were inspired by Norse mythology. In the books, the Beauchamps (amongst others) were Gods of Asgard, when they came to Earth (under human aliases - Freya was the only one who used her divine name) they were also called witches/warlocks. Both Thor and Loki appeared in the books and went under the guise of Troy Overbrook and Branford Gardiner (Dash).

The tv show is loosely based from the books. Many of the characters are based from the books, but has a separate mythology.
