Thor’s Hammer
Thor’s hammer is actually named Mjolnir (muel-near). This special weapon belongs to one of the main Norse Gods, Thor. He is the god of lightning and thunder. In fact, he is so famous that Thursday is actually named for him–you can think of it as “Thor’s Day”.
The hammer is one of the most important mythical weapons to the Norse, and trust me, they had a lot of mythical weapons. This hammer is Thor’s main source of power, and in Norse myth is said to have the power to create and to destroy.
He carries it around everywhere with him, and he is the only being alive able to wield its power. Whenever he throws the hammer, it will return to him no matter where it lands.
