THOR BATTLES JORMUNGANDR Thor is a god associated with thunder and lightning, storms, strength, hallowing and protector of mankind. The day of the week Thusday is named after Thor. He fathered one daughter Thrud (strength) and two sons Mothi (wrath), Magni (mighty) Thor is Odin's son and has numerous brothers including Baldr, Vidir and Heimdall. Thor rides in a chariot pulled by two goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr that he eats and resurrects. Thor wields the hammer Mjollnir, wears the belt Megingord , the gloves Jarngreipr and sometimes wields the staff Gridarvolr. Thor's exploits include the slaughter of his foes and fierce battles with Jormungandr who is the offspring of Loki and Angrboda. Jormungandr is the Midgard serpent that eats it's tail and circles all of Earth. When Jormangandr stops eating it's tail and begins to move that is when the oceans will rise, the Earth will tremble and Ragnarok will begin. Jormungandr and Thor are fated to slay each other at Ragnarok. In this painting Thor and Jormungandr are portrayed fighting each other at Ragnarok. Here Thor is shown ripping the Midgard serpent from this world leaving what is now known as the Mid Atlantic Ridge on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean on Midgard the Realm of Humans.
