Denmark's Thor This deity is a typically Indo-European version of the thunder/sky god and is the eldest son of Odin. His magical weapon is a huge hammer or thunderbolt which is a symbol of phallic power. He uses it to protect the farms and houses of his devotees from the frost giants. Thor also possesses a magical belt with the power to double his strength and iron gloves enabling him to wield any weapon. His sacred totem animal is the goat. Once again, with no existing evidence of any of these fabulous tales, the legend of Thor continues to prevail!
