Now some people within the Craft community believe that in order to be a "real" witch you have to do certain things etc. That is certainly not so! That being, it does not mean that you can't work with deities! Everyone's experience with their craft is different and has many influences.
As I have mentioned in previous posts I have been working with Hekate. As of late, I have gained an interest in Thor the Norse God of thunder which has once again piqued my interest in not only Norse Gods but others as well. This post though will be focussed on Norse Deities.
Thor is the God of thunder lightning, fertility, and hallowing. Another claim to fame is that the weekday Thursday (Thor’s day) is named after him. He personifies strength and fertility and is depicted with red hair and a red beard. He is also most commonly known for carrying a hammer called Mjölnir (lightning).
Thor’s father is Odin, who is half-giant and the ruler of the Aesir gods. Thor's mother is Jord (known as Fjörgen in old Norse the earth goddess who is of giant ancestry). He is married to Sif, a golden-haired goddess with whom he fathered a daughter, Thrúd. He also has two sons, Magni & Modi with his lover, the giant Járnsaxa. His children were all associated with strength and braveness, embodying their father’s features.
