I know I might be thought a busy-body for writing this, but being very fond of northern mythology I must correct a little mistake that appears in the statements above:

Thor is the god of thunder and lightning (and thursdayssmiley - winkeye) , but Frej (/Frey / Freyr) is the god of fertility of crops and (domestic) animals. His sister Freja (/Freya) is the goddess of womens fertility and matters to do with that subject...

Just needed to get that off my chest. smiley - winkeye
Hope I haven't offended anyone, I certainly didn't mean to!

smiley - magic

Listen mates, I have it from good authority and a fairly reliable source that I'm right:

The thunder god, Thor was the son of Odin and Fjorgyn, the goddess of earth. He was large for a god, immensely strong, and a big eater (a cow could be a single meal). He loved contests of strength and was the main champion of the gods against their enemies, the frost giants. Farmers who appreciated his simple honesty and revulsion of evil worshiped him, rather than Odin, who was more attractive to those with the raiding spirit. Thor’s weapon was a magic war hammer (bolts of lightning) with a huge head and short handle that never missed its target. He wore magic iron gauntlets to handle the white-hot hammer shaft and a belt that doubled his strength.

Thor enjoyed the company of Loki despite the trickster’s penchant for getting them both in trouble. The tales of their adventures are some of the richest in Norse mythology. In the Norse pantheon, Thor was the destroyer of evil. At Ragnarok, Thor was aligned against his friend Loki who had gone over to the side of the evil frost giants. Thor was destined to kill the grim serpent Jormungand, spawn of Loki, but died in the struggle. Anglo-Saxons gave Thor’s name to the fifth day of their week, Thursday.

Hello Shelley, did you manage to become a member of the thursdayites? If not I can go and shout at Thursday for being useless on your behalf if you want me to!
