Characteristics(Ansuz )

Thor was big for a god, extremely strong (being able to

eat a cow in a "meal"). and he adored power struggles
and was the chief champion of the gods against their
enemies, the ice giants. The farmers, who appreciated his
simple-minded honesty and loathing of evil, worshiped
Thor rather than Odin, who was more attractive to those
endowed with an attacking spirit, or who valued wisdom.

Thor's weapon was a magical warhammer called Mjolnir

with a huge head and a short hilt that never missed and
always returned to his hands. He used the alreadyrngreipr
magic iron gloves to hold the hammer handle and the
Megingjard belt which increased his strength tenfold
Thor enjoyed Loki's company, despite this trickster's
talent for getting them both into trouble. The stories of
his adventures are among the richest in Norse mythology.
In the Norse pantheon, Thor was the destroyer of evil and
the second greatest exponent of the Aesir gods. Thor'
image appears on many rune stelae as does his name or
his hammer. Thor was an excellent warrior and had
already defeated many giants, trolls, monsters,
berserkers and beasts, according to Edda in Prose. Thor
traveled the world in a chariot drawn by two goats named
Tanngrísnir and Tanngnjóstr.

It is said that when Thor roamed the sky in this chariot,

the mountains crumbled, and the noise caused by the
vehicle's wheels caused the thunder. Thor dwelt in
Thrudheimr in the Bilskirnir hall where he received the
poor after they had died. This hall had 540 rooms and was
considered the largest of all buildings. Thor's messenger
was the swift Thjalfi and his maidservant was Röskva,
sister of Thjalfi. When Thor was far from his home he
killed his goats and ate them, and then resurrected them
with a magic hammer. Thor is the creator of the
constellation known to the Vikings as Aurvandill's Finger.
Thor was the god who owned the most temples in
Scandinavia.
Stories(Wunjo)
Thor once lost his hammer and asked the goddess Freia
to lend him the shape of a bird of prey in order to search
for it. Thor, in the form of a falcon, flies far away and
learns that his magic hammer, the only weapon capable
enough to face the giants, is in the power of one of them
named Thrym, who lives deep in the earth.

Thor then asked for his hammer to be returned in which

the giant refused, warning that he would return it only if
the goddess Freia agreed to marry him, something the
goddess took as an offense. Soon guided by the Heimdall
oracle to disguise himself as Freia agreeing with the
proposal of marriage and thus recovering his hammer, he
leaves with Loki for Jotunheim, the Land of Giants, aboard
his chariot under the spectacle of lightning and thunder.

Arriving in Jotunheim, he is effusively welcomed by his

giant hosts, who are amazed at his hunger and his flaming
eyes under the veil Thor wears. Loki, then disguised as a
servant, reassures them by arguing that the 'goddess' has
been without food and sleep for several nights due to the
anguish and anxiety of the marriage.

When the hammer was soon placed in the false bride's

lap, Thor revealed himself and killed his giant bridegroom
and all the other guests around, returning triumphantly
to Asgard.
.snake fishing(Hagalaz)
According to an ancient Viking myth, Thor decides to visit
the sea giant, Hymir, disguised as a young man. As soon
as he arrives at Hymir, Thor offers to help him in the
fishery, which report is refused by the giant after it comes
to be consented. At the giant's request, Thor goes to his
herd and kills one of his bulls taking the animal's head
that will be used as bait during fishing. Both departed
together, and Thor continued to lead them to a place that
used by Hymir.
 There, her hook is prepared and thrown into the sea,
where the Serpent of the World, which inhabits the
oceans, slings, ensuing an intense combat where Thor
holds her with such tenacity and strength that her feet
break the structure of the boat touching the bottom of
the boat. Ocean. When Thor swung his hammer about to
strike her, the giant finally cut the hook's line.

family(Othila)
He also had an important domestic life. He married twice,
the first with the giant Járnsaxa, who gave him a son,
Magni (strength). Another son named Modi ("courage") is
also attested in ancient sources, but without mentioning
the mother's name. And the second marriage, which was
much more important in the myth of the god Thor, was to
Sif, the beautiful lady with hair. as blond as gold. With her
he had a daughter: Thrud
Ragnarok(Kenaz)
In Norse mythology, Ragnarök (in Portuguese: destiny of
the gods), represents Norse eschatology, marked by a
series of events that would lead to the end of the world.
The word means fate, referring to the last and decisive
battle of the gods against their enemies. The myth was
first described in the anonymous poem Völuspá, compiled
in the 13th century from older traditional sources and in
the Edda in prose, written in the 13th century by Snorri
Sturluson, but there are other references to eschatology
throughout the Germanic region.
Ragnarök begins with a series of natural disasters,
culminating in the Fimbulvetr ("long winter") which lasts
for three consecutive years without summer. Afterwards,
the gods will fight the giants born from the forces of
primeval chaos.

A great battle that would result in the death of most gods

(including the Æsir, Ódin, Thor, Týr, Freir, Heimdallr, and
Loki); the battle ends with a global fire, after which the
land would be submerged by the sea. Afterwards, the
fertile world would resurface, populated by the few
survivors of the gods' families and by two human
survivors who would repopulate the earth: Líf and
Lífthrasir. Ragnarök was an important event in the Nordic
canon, being important for the interpretation of many
aspects of Nordic culture and the object of academic and
theoretical studies.
