Thor was the thunder
god, the main enemy of
the giants, and the son of
Odin. The common man
called upon Thor rather
than his father Odin. The
English fifth day of the
week is named
Thursday after Thor.
One-eyed and the
wisest of the Aesir
gods, Odin
displaced Thor as
their leader. Odin
is also called
Woden. Odin is
also the god of the
dead.
Frigg (or Frigga) is Odin’s
wife and the greatest
goddess of the Aesir.
She is the goddess of
marriage, motherhood,
and managing the
household. Goddess of
prophecy, but doesn’t
tell. Thor is her brother
or a stepson. Friday is
named after her (or
Freyja).

Heimdall is the handsome
gold-toothed guardian of
Bifrost, the rainbow bridge
leading to Asgard, the home of
the Gods. It is Heimdall who
is to sound the signal horn to
the Aesir that Ragnarok, the
great destruction, is beginning.
In Norse mythology, Loke was a giant.
Loke is best know as a trickster god,
possibly responsible for Balder’s death.
He was the adopted brother of Odin,
and was bound to a rock until Ragnarok.
In some stories, he’s mischievous; in
others, malevolent.
She is the Norse god of love
and fertility, war, and wealth.
She was taken by the Aesir,
perhaps as a hostage. She is
the foremost goddess of the
Vanir but lives with the Aesir.

Frey was a Norse god
of weather and
fertility. He is the
brother of Freyja. The
boar is his sacred
symbol, which is both
associated with war
and with fertility.

The Norse god Balder is
the son of Odin and
Frigg. He is described as
being the greatest of all.
Everyone loves him. He
is so beautiful and fair
that he glows and he
was considered the god
of light. His death,
orchestrated by Loke,
caused the beginning of
Ragnarok.
