Origin & Lore

Thor (Old Norse Þórr) was the thunder god of the Norse and Germanic peoples, the defender of Asgard and Midgard against the giants, with his hammer Mjölnir and his chariot drawn by two goats. He was the god of farmers and ordinary people, and small hammer pendants worn for his protection are found across the Viking world. This oil is a modern blend used to honour him.

Thor’s hammer was not only a weapon: in the old poems it was used to hallow, blessing a bride, a funeral pyre and even the bones of his goats so they could live again.

Several Danish and Swedish runestones carry the words “Thor hallow these runes”, calling on him to protect the stone and its message. Across northern Europe, stone axe heads turned up in fields were long believed to be thunderbolts and were kept in houses to guard against lightning.
