This blog will explore different aspects of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. Various representations of him exist, and it is my aim to discover the origins of these representations, as well as the authors/artists responsible for them. I’d especially like to explore Thor’s relevance today; including the naming of Thursday, Thor’s significance in the modern Asatru and Neo-pagan religions, the ancient and modern symbolism of his hammer, Mjolnir, and the other gods in the mythological pantheon with similar characteristics.Donner [Thor] Calls Upon the Storm Clouds by Arthur Rackham for Wagner's Das Rheingold, from mythology.wikia.com.
