The connection is made and the protons rush up to meet the electrons. It is at that point that we see lightning and hear thunder. A bolt of lightning heats the air along its path causing it to expand rapidly. Thunder is the sound caused by rapidly expanding air. History Of The God ThorThor was the Norse god of thunder Thor was usually portrayed as a large, powerful man with a red beard and eyes of lighting. Despite his ferocious appearance, he was very popular as the protector of both gods and humans against the forces of evil. He even surpassed his father Odin in popularity because, contrary to Odin, he did not require human sacrifices. In his temple at Uppsala he was shown standing with Odin at his right side. This temple was replaced by a Christian church in 1080. Thor is the wielder of Mjollnir and the defender of Asgard. He is described as a massive red-bearded champion wearing iron gloves and a belt/girdle of might, Megingjardir which doubles his already considerable strength. His hall is Bilskirnir, which is located in the region Thrudheim ("place of might"). He is the only god forbidden to cross Bifrost, for fear that his lightnings could destroy the bridge or that he would set it aflame by the heat of his presence. Thor rides in a chariot drawn by two goats, Tanngniost (Gap Tooth) and Tanngrisnir (Tooth Grinder). Lightning flashed whenever he threw his hammer Mjollnir. The rolling of the wheels of this chariot is said to create the thunder that rolls across the heavens. His greatest enemy is Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent. At the day of Ragnarok, Thor will kill this serpent but will die from its poison. His sons will inherit his hammer after his death. Mjollnir - The hammer of Thor. Crafted by Brokk and Sindri it is a symbol of Thor's strength and of the thunderbolt he personified. The gods considered Mjollnir to be their greatest treasure because it alone could be used to defend Asgard against the giants. When hurled by Thor the hammer will always strike its mark and instantly return to his hand. Mjollnir was not only a weapon, but is also a symbol of fertility. During wedding ceremonies the hammer is always placed in the lap of the bride. Asgard - The home of the A?sir, one of the nine worlds of norse mythology. Asgard was the topmost level of the nine worlds. The A?sir gods and goddesses had their mansions and palaces here. Asgard was connected to Midgard by the rainbow bridge, Bifrost. Asgard is surrounded by a strong wall built by a giant. Megingjardir, Megingiord, Megingarder- The magic belt/girdle of Thor. When worn, it doubled his already tremendous strength. Bifrost - The rainbow bridge. Bifrost is the bridge that connects Midgard to Asgard. It is guarded by Heimdall. It is made of fire, air and water and these give the bridge its colors, red, blue and green. The bridge can be seen by those in Midgard as a rainbow connecting heaven and earth. Tanngniost - Toothgnasher, one of the fierce billy goats that drew the cart of Thor. Thor's goats could be killed, eaten and revived the next day. Tanngrisnir - Toothgrinder, one of the fierce billy goats that drew the cart of Thor. Thor's goats could be killed, eaten and revived the next day. The History Of Thors Hammer
This is why the world is formed out of relics of murdered Ymir. The svastica is the Miolnir, the " storm hammer"; and therefore it is said that when the Ases, the holy gods, after having been purified by fire ( the fire of passions and suffering in their life incarnations), become fit to dwell in Ida in the eternal place then miolnir will become useless. This will be when the bonds of hel (the goddess- queen of the region of the dead) will bind them no longer, for the kingdom of evil will have passed away. " Surtur's flames had not destroyed them, nor yet had the raging waters" of the several deluges......" then came the sons of thor. They brought Miolnir with them, no longer as a weapon of war, but as the hammer with which to consecrate the new heaven and the new earth..... " THE HAMMER OF CREATION," with its four arms bent at right angles, refers to the continual motion and revolution of the invisible Kosmos of Forces. In that of the manifested Kosmos and our earth it points to the rotation in the cycles of time of the worlds axes and their equatorial belts; the two lines forming the svastica
QusetionWHAT DID HAPPEN TO THE HAMMER OF THORAnswerAfter Thors death the hammer was returned to the temple of meridia by thors sons. Where it still resides today this is why when the thunder plain calls to Miolnir the earth tremble beneath your feet . Thors belt and glove have not been found at this time but it is thought that they may be hidden in the temple somewhere.ExperienceBoth the Thunder and Lightening meridians can penetrate our light energy defense systems so be careful when travelling to both of these plains.
