THOR
*Norse
Son of ODIN and the earth, THOR is the sky and thunder god. He carries a
hammer, Miollnir, which is his most precious possession; when he throws
it, it always returns to his hand. Many Vikings wore hammer amulets in
his honour. THOR had many battles with the giants, and once tried to
fish up the MIDGUARD_SERPENT. His wife is golden-haired Sif, a fertility
goddess.
