Also spelled Thorr, Thunor, Thonar, Donar, Donner, Thur, Thunar, or Thunaer.


In Norse mythology, the god of thunder and the sky.


Thor was the eldest son of the chief deity, Odin, and Jorth. He was second only to Odin in importance and was probably the most popular god of the Norse pantheon.


Thor had three principal possessions, a hammer (Mjöllnir), typifying thunder and lightning and having the virtue of returning to him after it was thrown, a belt (Meginjardir), which doubled his strength, and iron gloves to aid him in throwing his hammer.

                     

            
   


Thursday, the fifth day of the week, was named for Thor; the name is believed to be derived from Jupiter Tanarus, the Thundering Jupiter, a Celtic deity.

Make certain your browser permissions are set accordingly and that you have the latest Flash plug-in for the full experience, proper look and accurate layout.


If using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, clicking (or pressing the SPACEBAR or ENTER) on the Flash graphics is necessary to activate it. If using the latest versions of
Firefox or Netscape, adjusting the browser trust permissions to "ENABLE MAXIMUM SITE FUNCTIONALITY" is required to fully enjoy Occultopedia's features and Flash graphics. You can do it with confidence. This site does not contain any viruses or any malicious software or script.



As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated. Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one person working on this site in my spare time.


As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the Forums, so we can all discuss the occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please. Registration will be required.


Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be patient and understanding.

           






           

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny, shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the curious and the unusual.

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is not really a commercial one.
