Thor The Thunderer. The most important of the Norse gods because of his control of weather during the brief growing season, Thor corresponds to the Phoenician bull-god. His sacred groves, springs and rites were observed in Northern Europe well into the Middle Ages, and he gave his name to Thursday. He holds his hammer Mjollnir, which with his chariot Thun-ear created lightning and thunder. Thor had a huge appetite, relished feasting and war, and was married to the earth goddess Thrud. The Celtic hammer god Succellos was Thor's equivalent among the Gauls. This image is Icelandic.
