    How to honor/worship Thor today?

    I always thought of Thor (and the other Aesir and Vanir) to be the
    better gods than the Christian god that my family and relatives wor-
    ship, so the thing I want to know is how am I supposed to show that
    I honor The God Of Thunder? (For now, everytime when there's a
    heavy storm with lightning flashing, I always think 'Thor is in his battle
    chariot once again') and I wear the mighty hammer Mjolnir on a chain
    around my neck, but there has to be more to it than just that...

    Simple offerings of incense, candles, or beer can be given. Reading about the stories and attributes of Thor and contemplating them are quite useful. Also studying lightning and thunder (through science) can be devotional. I love it when I hear thunder. It is a good mindful practice to recollect the power of the Mighty God Thor. I enjoy incorporating energy practices with my worship of Thunor.

    Here is some practices I am into

    This is also a good video on Thunor and electricity



    I feel that at least to me Thor in a way is easy to contact. He seems very accepting, but that is my view only.

      Nice to see some more Norse paganism folks hanging around.

      Last time we had a wild storm around here, the rain was falling hard, the thunder was crashing loudly, and the lightning flashed magnificently. I just stood in my backyard in the middle of it (Not near any trees or metal or anything to make me seem enticing to lightning strikes) And I just appreciated the sheer magnificence of Thor's might, how small I was in it all, and how humble it made me feel. I mainly work with/believe in Odin. But I felt a need to pay homage to the mighty lightning god, and thats how I did it.

        You can carve an idol out of wood and place offerings and pour libations for him there.

          Well, I feel like Thor's strength is flowing through me when I wear
          Mjolnir around my neck, almost like Thor's divine soul resides in me,
          but can an individual (me, for example) choose his own way of wor-
          shipping the Thunder God, or should he stick to the methods mentioned
          above? What do you think, anyone?

            I say you should be able to worship however you see fit unless you get some intuition that Thor does not want you worshiping a certain way. All these great sacred paths rose out of people like you and I who went deep within themselves and nature to listen. Their intuitions are what sparked the wave of practices and initiations. Worship how you like. I still think it would be good learning a lot about Thor through different text just to have a foundation and the rest just rely on intuition.

              You can worship however you'd like. But do you know *why* you're worshipping in that way and how that method of worship works on a larger scale in the mechanics of it all? If not, those are things to consider as well.

                Thor likes what most people like. Good food and drink.

                  In ancient times Thor was the God of the common folk, he doesn't really require anything extra, ostentatious, or over the top. I would suggest that you open up a conversation with him and see what he wants from you as far as worship goes. The Gods of the common folk tend to like beer, mead, food, and simple things. Thor also has an amazing sense of humor, he might not be a trickster God, but he likes to laugh. Humor goes a long way.

                    I thank you all for your directions. I will observe what all of you wrote with
                    care. Hail Thor the Thunderer!

                        I know someone who works specifically with Thor, although I'm not sure exactly how he honours him. I know he does use rune magick a lot. I guess that's one way to honour him. Or you could always pray and tell him how grateful you are for him. Beyond that, I don't know.
                        What one believes in is infinitely more important than WHO they believe in.
