Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…

In this episode, we discuss Thor’s background, archaeological history, and some of the myths about him. Jon and Julie share their personal experiences with Thor, and two spells.

Thor is a popular and prominent god from the Nose Pantheon who has become even more popular thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Historically portrayed as having red hair and a read beard, Thor is the defender of Asgard, protector of Midgard. He is the Norse god of lighting, storms, agriculture, strength, protection, fertility, and hallowing. Thor is an Aesir and is the son of Odin and Jord, husband to Sif, and father to Magni, Modi, and Thrud.
