Hammer of Thor

God Thor

Thor ("gromovnik"), in Norse mythology, the god of thunder, storms and fertility. He was one of the sons of the supreme god Odin and goddess of the earth Jörð or Fёrgyun. Title warhammer god Mёllnir could once does the word "lightning". It must be noted that Thor, the worst enemy of giants, had much in common with them. Red-bearded hero was very energetic and had an incredible appetite - in one sitting ate a bull. Thor liked to be compared with all the force. His enormous bronze chariot pulled by two goats sky, named Tangniostr ("gnashing their teeth") and Tangrisnir ("popping teeth"). In a magical outfit consisted of Thor: Hammer (battle ax, lightning), iron gloves, without which it was impossible to hold the handle red-hot guns, and a belt that doubles the power. Mёllnir hammer forged for the god-brothers dwarfs (dwarfs), symbol of the creative and destructive forces, the source of fertility and good luck, had a massive striker, short handle and always missed the mark. With hot rock and belt force Thor was invincible. However, he was unable to prevent Ragnarok, the day of universal destruction, but was able to rid the world of snake Jörmungand. The Torah is constantly accompanied by the fire god Loki, who usually kept his belt gromovnika. Together, they experienced many adventures, and Thor could not deny that in some cases, resourcefulness and agility Loki giants forced to be on guard.
An example of this - the story of the magic hammer of Thor, stolen giant holds. The new owner as a ransom asked for a hammer as much - hand fertility goddess Freya. Thor Loki persuaded to change into a gown Freya and instead go to the hold. Despite the voracious appetite "bride" that surprised the groom, "servant" (it was Loki) introduced the "bride" model maiden modesty. Delighted Hold Torah handed hammer, and the one beating the giant, restored his reputation, slightly tarnished by the fact dressing in women's clothes.
Another adventure Torah giants in the country is also associated with Loki. In the land of the people, Midgard, Thor hired servants, and Pjalfi Rёskvu, brother and sister. It happened this way. Since goats Torah served as a source of inexhaustible food for the night gromovnik killed and roasted them, leaving intact only the bones, and then return the animals to life.
