Thor

Thor Giant-Slayer and God of Thunder is the most well-known Norse god in our modern world. The Marvel comic books and films have of course spurred his fame, but they’ve also hampered our understanding of the Thor that Viking people worshiped and revered and looked to for protection. For one thing, rather than the flaxen-haired, neatly-groomed Marvel version, Thor was a red-haired, long bearded half giant. thor is associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of man-kind,and also the hallowing,healing, and fertility.
