Thor (from Old Norse: Þórr) is a prominent deity in Germanic paganism. In Norse mythology, he is a hammer-wielding deity associated with lightning, thunder, storms, sacred groves and trees, strength, protection of mankind, sanctity and fertility. In addition to Old Norse Þórr, this god occurs in Old English as Thunor, in Old Frisian Thuner, in Old Saxon as Thunar, and in Old German as Donar, all ultimately from the Proto-Germanic theonym for Þun(a). originate 'Thunder'.
Thor is a god who figures prominently throughout the recorded history of the Germanic peoples, from the Roman occupation of the Germanic territories, the expansion of the Germans during the Migration Period, to his high popularity during the Viking Age, when he faced this trend. Associated with the Christianization of Scandinavia, the emblems of his hammer, Mjölnir, were worn, and Scandinavian pagan personal names containing the name of God attest to his popularity.
Stories about Thor are most attested in Old Norse, where Thor appears throughout Norse mythology. In stories recorded in medieval Iceland, Thor has at least fifteen names, is the husband of the golden-haired goddess Sif, and the lover of the jötunn Járnsaxa. With the sword, Thor fathered the goddess (and possibly Valkyrie) Þrúðr. With Járnsaxa, she gave birth to Magni. He fathered Móði by an unnamed mother, who is the stepfather of the god Ullr. Thor is the son of Odin and Jor, [1] through his father Odin, he has several brothers, including Balder. Thor has two attendants, Þjálfi and Röskva, riding in a cart or chariot pulled by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr (whom he eats and brings back to life), and is attributed three houses (Bilskirnir, Þrúvanðrðhe). Thor wields the hammer Mjölnir, wears the belt of Megingjörð and the iron gauntlet of Járngreipr, and owns the staff of Gríðarvölr. Thor's exploits, including his relentless slaughter of his enemies and intense battles with the monstrous serpent Jormungandr—and their predicted mutual deaths during the events of Ragnarok—are recorded in Norse mythological sources.
In the modern period, Thor continued to be recognized in folklore throughout German-speaking Europe. Thor is often mentioned in place names, the weekday Thursday is named after him (modern English Thursday comes from Old English thunresdaeġ, "the day of Tunor"), and names from the pagan period that include his name are still in use today. Especially in Scandinavia, Thor has inspired numerous works of art, and references to Thor appear in modern popular culture. As with other Germanic gods, reverence for Thor has been revived in the modern period in Hittery.

Mjölnir[a] (from Old Norse Mjǫllnir[b]) is the hammer of the thunder god Thor in Norse mythology, used both as a devastating weapon and as a divine instrument to provide blessings. The hammer is attested in numerous sources, including the 11th century runic Kvinneby amulet, the Poetic Edda, a collection of eddic poetry compiled in the 13th century, and the Prose Edda, a collection of prose and poetry compiled in the 13th century. The hammer was commonly worn as a pendant during the Viking Age in the Scandinavian cultural sphere, and Thor and his hammer occur depicted on a variety of objects from the archaeological record. Today the symbol appears in a wide variety of media and is again worn as a pendant by various groups, including adherents of modern Heathenry.⚡️

Many texts assert that among the Æsir gods, none is wiser than Mimir. While more recent interpretations (mainly the God of War franchise, which envisioned him as a condemned spirit who was stuck in a tree) have changed much about his story, Mimir’s narrative in Norse mythology is one of the most tragic and poignant. He is arguably best known as the literal ‘talking head’ of the Norse lore, but there is a lot more to life his character. Before his decapitation, he lived a fascinating life!
Mimir was a figure known for his knowledge and wisdom. His role in Norse mythology showcases the themes of making a sacrifice to gain wisdom and the all-important value of knowledge. Even after his death, his association with the Well of Wisdom and his continued guidance to Odin further illustrate the Norse belief in the power and importance of wisdom and foresight
Who Is Mimir?
Mimir, or Mim as he is sometimes known, is a popular figure in Norse mythology, known for his unrivalled wisdom and knowledge. He is the guardian of the Well of Wisdom, named Mimisbrunnr, which is located beneath the world tree Yggdrasil. The well contained the water of wisdom, and drinking from it granted immense knowledge. Mimir drank from this water on numerous occasions, and this was one of the many factors that resulted in him becoming one of the wisest beings in the cosmos.
Mimir played a role in some of Norse mythology's greatest events. His most significant role was in the war between the Æsir and Vanir gods. In an attempt to establish peace with the Vanir gods, the Æsir gods sent Mimir and Hoenir as hostages. Hoenir was not nearly as wise as Mimir and would largely repeat everything that Mimir had already advised. This led the Vanir gods to feel cheated by the quality of the hostages they were offered. Eventually, both Mimir and Hoenir were beheaded. Their heads were then returned to the Æsir gods as a warning and a sign of their discontent.
The AllFather, Odin, decided that Mimir was too valuable to lose, so he decided to preserve Mimir’s head with magic and herbs. This enabled it to speak and continue to provide advice and counsel to the Æsir gods. This is how Mimir assumed his most prominent role as personal advisor to Odin and the main source of secrets and knowledge for the Æsir gods.
