ever-fighting slayer of trolls and destroyer of evil spirits, the
friend of mankind, the defender of the earth, the heavens and the
gods; for without Thor and his hammer the earth would become the
helpless prey of the giants. He was the consecrator, the hammer
being the cross or holy sign of the ancient heathen. Thor was the
son of Odin and Fjorgyn (mother earth); he was blunt,
hot-tempered, without fraud or guile, of few words but of ready
stroke - such was Thor, the favorite deity of our forefathers.
The finest legends of the Younger Edda and the best lays of the
Elder Edda refer to Thor. His hall is Bilskirner. He slays
Thjasse, Thrym, Hrungner, and other giants. In Ragnarok he slays
the Midgard-serpent, but falls after retreating nine paces,
poisoned by the serpent's breath. Norse
